Harsh criticism! She has to justify herself

Miriam and Felix Neureuther

Miriam and Felix Neureuther are actually considered absolute sympathizers. But after a social media post, the former professional athletes have to take harsh criticism. Now the ex-biathlete has spoken again.

Miriam, 33, and Felix Neureuther, 39, show up in hiking outfits and laugh together: It is actually a beautiful couple photo that the former biathlete and cross-country skier shares on Instagram – but it more than heats up the minds of their 155,000 followers: inside. The couple advertises disposable towels. As a result, some users not only complain about the number and content of the advertising posts, but also accuse them of not acting sustainably enough and sometimes share violently. The mother of three cannot let that sit on her and justifies herself a few hours later in an unusually clear way.

Miriam Neureuther: Heavy criticism for advertising mail

“You can’t get your mouth full, right? Now disposable towels … Have you thought about how much water and energy it takes to produce this superfluous stuff? It’s also nicely wrapped in plastic,” says one user annoyed. Another wonders: “Who, for God’s sake, would take a kitchen roll with them when hiking. How unbelievable is that please.” Comments of this kind can be found in abundance under Miriam Neureuther’s advertising contribution on Thursday, August 3rd. These are lines that leave their mark on her.

Miriam Neureuther takes a stand

After a few hours of reflection, the former German-Norwegian professional athlete decided to take a detailed position and made it clear right from the start: “Normally I wouldn’t try to justify myself, but this time I just have to do it!” It shows how much they care about the allegations.

At the beginning, Miriam tries to explain why the outdoor picture is still authentic and writes: “We have really great snack ideas, outdoor games, ideas for handicrafts, etc … everything just like we love it as a family!”

Miriam Neureuther then emphasizes that the topic of sustainability is very important in her family: “It’s only healthy snacks and we often play the games outside in nature with our children! We take a very close look at who we cooperate with and if so we do this with all our hearts, because we stand by it!”

Accusing that on her Neureuther admits that there would be too much advertising and too few private pictures on the Instagram channel and also provides the reason for this directly: “I don’t have the time with three small children for even more pictures”. Nevertheless, she always tries to offer her followers “added value” with every advertising post. What annoys her most of all: “Unfortunately, I just don’t know what to share with you anymore, because criticism comes immediately with everything and someone always doesn’t like it!”
