An extensive report on actor Til Schweiger appeared in the magazine “Der Spiegel” on Friday. It does not describe the successful career of the 59-year-old, rather harsh accusations are made against him.
According to the report, former and current employees speak of insults, humiliation and even violence. Statements of more than 50 people are available to the medium. However, most want to remain anonymous because they are too afraid of Schweiger, one of Germany’s most successful movie stars. According to the witnesses “Mirror”, he could influence and even end careers.
The quotes paint a picture of a toxic working atmosphere, they were afraid of Til Schweiger, afraid of his outbursts of anger. Examples are described that would have happened on the set of “Manta Manta – Second Part”. There, among others, Schweiger demanded too much from the film crew and the workload also led to careless mistakes.
That happened in July 2022: Schweiger allegedly appeared on set drunk and collided with a crew member. Schweiger punched the employee in the face.
These are descriptions of crew members, Til Schweiger has his lawyer answer a questionnaire from “Spiegel”. So your mandate is not all “facts” known, others in turn deny this. “Rumors have been circulating for years”, which, according to the lawyer, do not correspond to the truth.
Schweiger also receives support from another source: the production company Constantin Film, with which he has worked since 2022, denies the allegations. For the film company, the allegations are “mostly incomplete and biased, sometimes just plain wrong”.
In addition, they defend themselves against the accusation that there were “occupational health and safety violations in the form of exceeding the shooting time or not observing the rest days” in “Manta Manta – Zwoter Teil”. “In reality, the general mood during the shooting was overwhelmingly positive,” it says.
Watson media partner t-online has also asked Til Schweiger for an explanation. However, he left this unanswered.
