Beautiful, quick-witted and definitely not a fool – that’s how you know Lola Weippert. The Berliner by choice hosts numerous TV shows, such as “Prince Charming” and “Temptation Island VIP”. Her natural manner is well received, but after her TV appearance on “Schlag den Besten” the presenter has to endure a lot of hate online.
Lola Weippert: “This is the worst day of my life”
When the games are about finishing proverbs, Lola, embarrassed, fails the task and loses. Her condition also causes problems for her in the long run. This is also noticed by the viewers, who then let Lola feel it strongly on her social media channels. “You’re simply embarrassing and unbearable”, “stupid as straw” or “condition like an old woman…shame on you, you have nothing on it” are just a few of the presumptuous comments that the 27-year-old has to endure . This is getting to such an extent that the moderators are pulling the ripcord and taking a bold step.
“Making other people’s lives hell doesn’t make you stronger.”
Lola writes an Instagram post that sends a clear message against hate online. “Never let your smile be taken away from you. Open your mouth, get help, fight, stand up for yourself and others and please treat your fellow human beings the way you want them to for yourself,” she starts her 21-line message Caption. “Be respectful, sensitive, sensitive, loving and always remember: karma will take care of it,” she calls on her subscribers to treat each other better. In addition, she decides to go one step further and publishes hate comments, including the bullies’ profile pictures. A clear statement that is very well received.
“It’s unbelievable what you have to endure as a woman in the public eye,” “You are strong,” or “What you have to go through borders on misogyny,” her subscribers say in outrage. Lola, who repeatedly campaigns against online hate on her Instagram account, believes that nothing will change if you don’t raise your voice and encourage people. She advises others who also receive hate messages to block and report the accounts. Her message is that hatred never says anything about the person who experiences it, but rather about the person who writes it.
Lola announces a secret project
The presenter doesn’t let herself get down and also announces a new, mysterious project. “It’s been my dream for so long that I’m now fulfilling it and I even dream about it every week, I think that says it all,” she teases about her project, which will be announced in a few days. But her announcement isn’t the only highlight of her post – her black, extravagant dress definitely distracts from the actual topic. The circus-like backdrop is also a real eye-catcher.
The rumor mill among her fans is heated up and there is speculation about what the project could be. From Cirque du Soleil to the new DSDS moderation to its own amusement park, everything is there. The fans are definitely happy and show that it’s possible without hate online.
