It is hardly surprising that things are not squeamish in the “jungle camp”. On Monday evening, however, a candidate shocked with racist statements.
Gießen – racism scandal in the “jungle camp” 2022: The contract of candidate Janina Youssefian on the RTL show “I’m a star, get me out of here” was terminated, as the broadcaster announced on Twitter.
Means: throw out! “RTL does not tolerate such behavior,” it says. The 39-year-old is scheduled to return home from South Africa as soon as possible.
Jungle camp 2022: Linda Nobat racially insulted
But what happened? In the show, which was broadcast on RTL on Monday (01/24/2022), Youssefian and co-candidate Linda Nobat from Gießen had to complete a jungle test together. * A dispute subsequently developed that escalated at an impressive pace: both women slipped increasingly below the waistline. In this context, Youssefian made racist and insulting comments towards Nobat. The sentence “Go back to the bush where you belong” was said.
This was immediately criticized by the other residents of the RTL “jungle camp”: “It doesn’t work that way, something like that is no longer without consequences these days,” said Jasmin Herren, for example. And Harald Glööckler summarized the situation: “I think to myself, is it still possible? Inexpressibly embarrassing.”
Linda Nobat in the jungle camp on RTL: “Anyone who says racism is also a racist”
Janina Youssefian tried to apologize to Linda Nobat, the law student from Gießen, who is known from “Bachelor” and “Playboy”*, among other things: “I’m sorry if that came across as racist. It wasn’t meant that way.” The apology was not accepted. Nobat heard Youssefian but wanted to avoid her in the future, she announced. “Anyone who says something racist is also a racist,” said the 26-year-old.
