It's been almost half a year since pop singer Willi Herren died in his Cologne apartment. For the first time, Claudia Obert comments on the tragic death of the entertainer with whom she once lived in the "Celebrity Big Brother" container.
Alessia Herren's grief affects Claudia Obert very much
In her book "Life is a Party! My life between champagne, men and millions", the fashion entrepreneur describes why she did not react promptly after the tragedy. Posting a commemorative post with a caption was out of the question for her at the time. "I can't do it," she reveals in her literary work on the subject. She was still very upset by the shock news.
Tragic: After the recording of "Battle of the Reality Stars", candidate Alessia Herren, Willi's daughter, returned from Thailand and received the horror news a short time later. Claudia was also with her in front of the reality TV camera at the time. “Only a few days after her return from Thailand, her father Willi died. That got me. I felt so sorry for the girl," says the TV star sympathetically.
Willi might ask himself: 'What's next?'
Willi Herren lived a life that was also characterized by partying and addiction excesses. The TV professional spoke openly about his tablet addiction. His apartment is said to have gone out significantly after his death. Allegedly there were numerous empty bottles on the living room table: beer, vodka, wine. Six rolled joints are also said to have been found, as well as a pack of pills. The police spoke of a "very untidy apartment". For Claudia Obert, Willi was also faced with a kind of crisis: "If I understood that correctly, Willi was under a lot of pressure, and the question might have arisen: 'What's next? Have I been chosen? Have I been on all the reality shows? What else can come?'"
The Cologne original was repeatedly drawn to the television cameras of "Temptation Island", "Kampf der Realitystars" and Co. The only public information about his cause of death was that there was no external influence. To protect his personal rights, further information had not been shared with the public.
