Double roll backwards. The reports in the German media on Thursday and Friday morning (September 13th/14th) that the local public prosecutor’s office in Lithuania’s capital Vilnius was investigating Shelby Lynn may have now been clarified. The Berlin daily newspaper “Welt” also had a current statement from the public prosecutor’s office in Lithuania. This refers to a “preliminary investigation”. Reporters from “Bild” also claim to have learned from the “Lindemann environment” that the Rammstein frontman is said to have testified against Lynn.
Now “Der Spiegel” (which, as is well known, ran a cover story and a “re-shoot” about an alleged Lindemann relationship with a minor) has found out via another direct inquiry to the Lithuanian authorities that an examination for defamation was carried out following a submission from Lindemann’s lawyer was started. The investigation should be carried out quietly. According to the Lithuanian investigators, no detailed information has been published.
Now another volte.
As of Friday afternoon, September 15th, no charges have been brought.
The district public prosecutor’s office in Vilnius confirmed the investigation to “Spiegel” on Friday. However, the claim of a “false statement” was not confirmed.
Lynn, for her part, also fires back. She will “consider” further legal action against the Lindemann camp skirmishes. The Berlin lawyers are still in a fighting mood. They had basically announced that they would immediately take legal action against individuals for accusations of this kind.
Northern Irishwoman Shelby Lynn took to her social media channels after the current back-and-forth.
There she shows a screenshot of the “Bild” article in question, which reported on the alleged investigations against her, with the comment. “Very funny! Hearing about it for the first time. The police haven’t contacted me, it’s all bullshit.”
Another statement in her Insta story: “No idea where this all comes from!? I am definitely NOT under investigation. “It’s all so STULL!”
