Well....the "Collien Fernandes scandal" is a high-profile deepfake/revenge porn case involving German TV presenter, actress, and former VJ Collien Fernandes and her ex-husband, actor/presenter Christian Ulmen.
If you review the whole case....about two weeks ago....German news outlet Der Spiegel published Fernandes’ interview in which she accused Ulmen of years-long digital sexual abuse.
Fernandes says....the husband allegedly created fake online profiles and social media accounts in her name.
In this accusation....the guy is accused of producing and distributing AI-generated deepfake pornographic images and videos of Collien.
These pictures/images were reportedly sent then to other men in the German entertainment industry, along with sexually explicit messages, over a period of more than a decade.
Fernandes then says she had been fighting anonymous online harassment and fake profiles for years (she even made a 2024 TV documentary trying to identify the culprit). Then at the end of 2024....she apparently figured out that it was her husband who was the mastermind and behind it....getting him to confess.
So she filed a criminal complaint against him in Spain (where the couple had lived) at the end of 2025. The charges include identity theft, creating fake profiles, violating privacy/secrets, producing deepfake stuff, public insult, repeated threats, and bodily harm.
Spain's case? An investigation is ongoing. At this point....the husband is NOT charged with any crime.
German case? Briefly, there was a investigation going on....with the public prosecutor asking for 'evidence' and getting none. So in the past week....that German case was dropped. The Spain case? Continues on.
My general view? The husband seems to have gone to a pretty 'far' side in social media BS....with little to gain. All this Spanish charges stuff? It seems like he might actually get some jail-time over childish pranks.
