TV Scandal with the Wollnys: Child Protection Petition Divides the Viewer Community!

The petition carries a provocative title: "The Wollnys on RTL2 from now on without footage of small children – Child protection instead of ratings." The initiators accuse the network of dragging minor children, sometimes even toddlers, "almost defenselessly in front of the camera." Scenes showing the little ones in diapers or skimpy swimwear, allegedly only for entertainment purposes, are particularly criticized.

But it's not just about the portrayal. The working conditions of the children are also under criticism. Allegedly, the filming for the young family members is said to last up to twelve hours – a workload that, according to the petition, is incompatible with healthy development. The allegations are severe and have caught the attention of many viewers.

Insider Bombshell: Even a Family Member Speaks Out

As if that weren't enough drama, a family member is now joining the debate: Calantha Wollny, one of the daughters of the well-known family matriarch, is actively promoting the petition on her Instagram channel. She openly states that her intention is not to harm her family, but to protect the children.

Calantha reflects on her own childhood in front of the camera and reveals astonishing details. She never wanted to be in front of the camera, nor did many of her siblings. Sometimes they even went on strike. Her own wish as a child was for the series to be canceled, as there was no free time and no time for herself. These are emotional insights that could be the tipping point.

The Backlash: Fans Defend "Their" Family

But every coin has two sides. While one petition fights for child protection, die-hard fans of the TV family have started a counter-petition, which has already gathered almost 6,000 signatures – that's almost three times the original demand! They vehemently oppose the allegations and speak of a "targeted campaign full of hate, lies, and public incitement."

The family's supporters see the actions of Calantha Wollny and the petition initiator as "public defamation" and "character assassination" as well as "cyberbullying" against the large family. A true showdown of opinions!

Broadcaster and Family Head Remain Silent – The Show Goes On

What do the broadcaster and the family heads say about all the commotion? So far, they remain silent. The broadcaster had already made it clear in the past that they do not comment on private intra-family conflicts. The family matriarch, who triumphed in another reality show in 2018, has also not yet commented on the current allegations.

Despite the heated debates and serious accusations, there is a clear message: The show must go on. New episodes of the reality series will be aired on TV at the usual time starting July 23. The question remains: For how long, and at what cost?
