Cathy Hummels was mugged in Thailand in early 2022. She tells Instagram how she deals with the traumatic experience today.
Cathy Hummels (34) will again moderate the RTLzwei reality show “Kampf der Realitystars”. Filming will again take place in Thailand, where the presenter had to experience a moment of shock during the last shoot on the evening before departure. The 34-year-old was brutally attacked and robbed. In an Instagram post she now speaks openly about the trauma she experienced afterwards.
Cathy Hummels: “Today stronger and happier than ever”
“I’ve often dreamed of it. I dreamed that a man jumped on me, hugged me, squeezed me tightly and wouldn’t let go,” writes Hummels about two pictures that show her on the beach. “At first I didn’t know how to interpret this recurring dream. At some point I realized what my nightmare was saying. It was my experience in Thailand.” She faced her fear in the dream “by saying to the ‘stranger’ from my dream: ‘That’s enough. Leave me in peace.’ He did. I haven’t dreamed of it since.”
She made a conscious decision to return to the “crime scene”. “I love Thailand and my job as a presenter on Clash of Reality Stars, so it was important for me to put the negative thoughts and my fears behind me.” Basically, she had become more cautious. “And I can only recommend that to everyone. Be careful, but don’t lose faith and trust in the good in people. I was lucky in my misfortune because I’m still alive and today I’m stronger and happier than ever.”
During a walk on the beach, she was hit on the head from behind and the perpetrator hit her several times, Hummels said in February 2022 in the “image” interview about the incident. “At some point I realized that this is a matter of life and death and I started to fight back.” Hummels yelled at the man, who grabbed her cell phone and then ran away. “I gathered all my strength and ran back to the hotel. The whole time I only thought about my little son Ludwig.” Once there, she reported the robbery to the police and filed a complaint.
