Christian Ulmen accused of spreading fake porn by ex-wife Collien Fernandes
German actor Christian Ulmen is facing serious accusations from his ex-wife, Collien Fernandes. She claims he spread fake pornographic content of her and created false social media profiles in her name. The allegations were first reported by Der Spiegel, but Ulmen has refused to respond directly.
Ulmen's lawyer, Dr. Christian Schertz, has strongly disputed the claims, calling the reporting biased and legally questionable. The controversy began when Der Spiegel published Fernandes' allegations against Ulmen. According to her, the actor distributed manipulated explicit material and impersonated her online. The magazine's request for Ulmen's comment went unanswered, with his legal team dismissing the coverage as one-sided.
Dr. Christian Schertz, known for defending high-profile men in similar cases, has taken an aggressive stance. He accused Der Spiegel of spreading 'untrue facts' and warned of legal consequences. In discussions with journalists, Schertz's team reportedly insisted that any off-record conversations could not be published—a move critics see as an attempt to control the narrative.
This approach mirrors Schertz's past work, where legal threats have often silenced accusers or media outlets. His tactics, including the risk of expensive lawsuits, have successfully suppressed further reporting in other cases. One notable example involved Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann, where Schertz helped limit coverage of misconduct allegations.
The pattern extends beyond Ulmen's case. Men accused of sexual misconduct frequently rely on powerful legal teams to discredit accusers. Women who speak out often face reputational damage, while the accused walk away with little consequence. Schertz's involvement in multiple high-profile cases highlights how legal strategies can shield prominent figures from scrutiny. Ulmen's case remains unresolved, with his legal team continuing to challenge the allegations. Der Spiegel stands by its reporting, but the threat of legal action may deter further investigation. For now, the dispute underscores the broader issue of how powerful men use legal pressure to shape public perception and silence critics.
