In an interview with the “FAZ”, Collien Fernandes once again spoke about the consequences that the alleged acts that she accuses her ex-husband Christian Ulmen of have had on her everyday life in recent years.
When asked whether she was afraid of men who approached her without asking because they thought they had written to her, the moderator responded with a disturbing example. According to her statement, Ulmen also had contact with a masseur and requested an appointment with him on her behalf. “He asked the masseur to cum on me at the end of the massage,” Fernandes explained her concern. “What if I actually went right there?”
The 44-year-old accuses her ex-husband of pretending to be Collien Fernandes to other men – including those in her professional environment. There were sexually charged conversations with, among other things, erotic stories, which are said to have included rape fantasies.
The Ulmen/Fernandes case and the consequences
For a long time, Fernandes knew about fake nude photos of her that were circulating, but did not suspect that someone close to her could be responsible for their distribution and other interactions in the digital space. As the actress made public, Ulmen is said to have confided in her as the perpetrator after filing a complaint against unknown people.
Fernandes later reported him, initially in Spain, where the couple lived temporarily. An investigation is now underway in Germany because some of the reported crimes are said to have taken place in Potsdam. In addition, the moderator, who has been fighting for expanded punishment of digital violence as a political activist for some time, made it public through an article in “Spiegel”.
Christian Ulmen’s lawyer Christian Scherz is taking legal action against the reporting and speaks of false statements of fact. The presumption of innocence still applies.
Fernandes explained her decision to first describe the case in detail outside of court “FAZ” conversation: “He made public profiles and sent numerous men nude photos and sex videos. In doing so, he also shapes my public image. And since he didn’t want to tell me the men’s names, I could only make it clear that way.”
