He can’t help it! In his last Wetten, das…? show, Thomas Gottschalk (73) clashed with Shirin David (28). The moderator received a violent shitstorm for this. He already emphasized that he didn’t mean any harm with his poorly chosen words, but the two don’t seem to have really gotten along yet. Now can Thomas a point against Shirin again don’t resist.
As in his show, it goes in Thomas’ renewed criticism of the topic of feminism. Shirin had at “Wetten, dass…?” emphasizes that she is a strict feminist and that her appearance says nothing about that. Now the showmaster explains in the podcast “The Supernoses”: “Shirin no longer looks the way she once looked. And you can’t tell me that letting yourself be made prettier is a sign of feminism.” For comparison, he points to Alice Schwarzer (81), one of Germany’s best-known feminists. You can “somehow see” this in the journalist because she has never had surgery to change her appearance.

[…] “I would like to say that as feminists we can look good, be smart and eloquent and beautiful at the same time,” the singer then clarified in a piqued tone.
