Controversy continues to swirl around Dieter Bohlen’s return to “DSDS” for the anniversary season. The latest scandal erupted after the fourth episode when the pop titan made inappropriate comments to a candidate. Juror Katja Krasavice even released a diss track targeting Bohlen for his behavior. In response, the 69-year-old has taken to Instagram to post a clear message to his fans.
In his Instagram story, Bohlen shared a report of the latest “DSDS” ratings. He compared the ratings with those of Heidi Klum’s “GNTM”. Despite Klum being the market leader among young audiences, Bohlen boasted of having more viewers with an average of 2.11 million. He also pointed out that his community had recently grown by 250,000 followers in the last three weeks, reaching a total of 3.5 million.
In the face of criticism, Bohlen thanked his fans for their loyalty and standing by him. He posted a picture of himself playing the piano with the message, “3.5 million can’t be wrong”. Bohlen’s message underscores his belief that his loyal fan base outweighs the criticism coming from detractors. The controversy surrounding Bohlen will undoubtedly continue, but it remains to be seen how it will impact the future of “DSDS”.
