Thomas Gottschalk draws consequences: Podcast after Maite Kelly-Shitstorm ended!

Köln, Deutschland - The outcry is loud! Thomas Gottschalk, the legendary entertainer, is fed up! After an outrageous "joke" about the pop singer Maite Kelly, who provided a shitstorm, Gottschalk and Mike Krüger abruptly end their podcast "The Supernasen". The reason? The wave of outrage, which came up against Kelly after Gottschalk's unhappy side blow, forced the two TV stars to pull the ripcord.

In March 2023, the two primeval rocks of German television started their podcast, but now, 21 months later, it is over. Gottschal's comment during an episode about his appearance at Florian Silbereisen's "Advent Festival of the 100,000 Lights" - "I probably have to push Maite Kelly aside so that you can see me" - was seen as a bad gag and led to violent reactions. The outrage for this comment was so great that Gottschalk and Krüger decided to end the podcast because they are tired of being constantly misunderstood.

Maite Kelly's sharp answer

Maite Kelly was not long in coming and countered sharply: "As a child, I was smart enough to know that people who use such platitudes only earn my pity." Her words show how much she was made by Gottschalk's comment. But while the singer spoke up, Gottschalk and Krüger had already decided to end her Podcast trip. On Instagram, Gottschalk explained that he was tired of being constantly misinterpreted by people who want to "damage him publicly". He emphasized that the end of the podcast was not a giving up, but an expression of his dismissal.

The 74-year-old announced that he would continue to speak openly without being claimed. Florian Silbereisen also got his fat in the past, which shows that Gottschalk does not shy away from expressing his opinion. The question remains: How will this incident affect his career?
