Ex-lottery fairy Heike Maurer tells after the “Celebrity Big Brother” exit how she experienced Rafi in the house and what she thinks of Mimi’s nude pictures.
Ex-lottery tee Heike Maurer (68) was the first to be selected on Wednesday by viewers from the TV show “Promi Big Brother” (Sat.1). In an interview with the news agency spot on news, she reveals how she is after moving out and how she experienced the conflict between ex- “Bachelorette” participant Rafi Rachek (31) and Ballermann singer Melanie Müller (33). She also explains why she “likes to tell everyone who wants to hear it or not” about her husband’s mental illness.
You had to be the first to leave “Celebrity Big Brother”. How are you today? Are they sad?
Heike Maurer: At first I was shocked because I had the feeling that I had received a lot of encouragement. I got along with everyone in the house. What’s more, we laughed a lot together and really enjoyed ourselves. I generally tend to the perspective: Humor is when you laugh anyway. The other participants were also surprised. But the audience obviously expects a different performance. Not the real, normal Heike that I always was, but a shrill and bitchy Heike. But I couldn’t have changed. I can only be real
We viewers saw quite a lot of arguments and drama in the house. How did you experience that? Was that really always funny?
Maurer: No, of course it wasn’t just funny when Rafi punched the pot and made the announcement that there was obviously a secret agreement and that he wanted to clear it up now. And when Melanie saw the red cloth and even the mature Jörg Draeger built himself up and screamed back. Rafi was a bit of a misunderstood drama queen at the moment. But I don’t think it was staged. Those were real feelings.
Which side were you on in the conflict: Team Rafi or Team Melanie?
Maurer: I couldn’t take either side. However, Rafi was a little more pleasant to me in his behavior. But Melanie is also a very warm woman. You don’t necessarily have to appreciate your choice of words, but there is also something refreshing about it. She looks after, cares, likes to be the mother of the company and, for example, washes up where others are lounging around. I really appreciate that about her.
“The Bachelor” -but-not-winner Mimi Gwozdz (26) is in “Playboy”. How do you find that? Have you already been in the magazine?
Maurer: Mimi’s photos are very nice. I’ve never been to “Playboy”. Back then, when it was still possible, I was too young. And it had a slightly different reputation as well. And now I wouldn’t do it anymore. Nowadays you can definitely do it. The human body is such a work of art. and if you have such a beautiful body as Mimi or Gitta Saxx – currently I can’t judge because we didn’t shower together – then you can show it. “Playboy” doesn’t take dirty photos, but rather very aesthetic pictures.
How hard was the secrecy before the show started?
Maurer: It wasn’t easy because I would have liked to inform all of my friends to get their advice and opinion. And so I had to limit myself to my very close family circle, who then said: “Well, if you like to do it, we’ll be behind you.” However, my daughter was very, very skeptical at first. She was afraid that I would be too strict in the house because I have a reputation at home for making very clear announcements.
They live separately from their fourth husband. Did you inform him in advance?
Maurer: We have no real contact. I emailed him because I didn’t want him to be shocked. I don’t know what emotional state he is in right now. When I moved into the house, I at least got the message that he was crossing his fingers for me. I thought that was okay.
You spoke frankly about his illness in the house. Why?
Maurer: Because he made it public himself to be bipolar. I will say it quite frankly: it is a terrible disease and I do not wish it to anyone or anyone around me. All social contacts are disturbed or broken. It destroys livelihoods. The disease cannot be cured, but it is treatable. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible for someone who is in this intoxication to voluntarily let himself be subdued. Only when everything is on the ground may the insight come.
Are you also interested in clarification?
Maurer: Yes, I would like to tell everyone, who wants to hear it or not, what this disease does to you. What she does with a person who is a very loving, responsible, generous and humanly warm contemporary. And above all with the relatives who carry a heavy burden and are overwhelmed.
Who do you especially indulge in the “Celebrity Big Brother” victory?
Maurer: I wish it for our athlete Marie Lang because she is very familiar and personable to me because of her calm, very disciplined and athletic nature. But I would really indulge Rafi. He’s certainly still a child on the one hand, but he’s not a bad or devious person. You can see that immediately when you look him in the eye. He’s a bit like a puppy. And Ina Aogo is also very generous in her luxury. I also found Gitta, whom I had just met, really nice.
