A first personal consequence and investigations by a law firm: Rammstein wants to clarify the allegations in this way.
After the serious allegations that several women made against Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann (60), according to unanimous reports, there were now first personal consequences. That’s how you got loud “Mirror” and “World” meanwhile separated from the “casting director” Alena Makeeva.
The first source says that this news has been confirmed by people close to the band. It is also written that the woman worked primarily for Lindemann, but was not paid by Rammstein and from now on no longer has access to concerts or the band itself.
Makeeva is a central figure in the allegations made. For several years, before and during Rammstein concerts, she allegedly had the task of specifically addressing young women and inviting them to after-show parties by and with Lindemann.
Band now wants to do their own research
Rammstein, who warned in a statement a few days ago about “public prejudice” in both directions, now apparently want to do their own research to clarify the matter. Among other things, the “Southgerman newspaper” and “Welt” as well as the broadcaster NDR report that the band allegedly hired a law firm.
Accordingly, employees involved in the band’s current tour should fill out a multi-page questionnaire. Previously, there had already been e-mail surveys by the management, which are now also to be evaluated. It is said that the first results of these surveys are expected in the course of the coming week.
It had previously been said in the statement of the group of six: “The allegations hit us all very hard and we take them extremely seriously. […] We say to our fans: It is important to us that you feel comfortable and safe at our shows – in front of and behind the stage.”
