There have been a lot of rumors since singer Pietro Lombardi (32) and his fiancée Laura Maria Rypa (28) caused a scandal with a police operation at their home at the beginning of October. The reason for this was probably an argument that escalated. There are different reports about how much. Laura herself has to admit: “When asked whether Pietro has a short fuse, I have to admit: he has a lot of temper.” And the musician also admits: “I sometimes wonder why Laura is still with me at all. There are often arguments when I come home and say, now I want to party here. She then says, ‘Say ‘Are you crazy? I’m tired, I want to go to sleep.’ And then I get upset about it and don’t understand it in my male head.”

Bushido replaces Pietro Lombardi on DSDS
The drama surrounding the two has been dominating the headlines for weeks now, and the question quickly arose as to whether Pietro, who can be seen as a juror on the DSDS casting format, is still acceptable. “RTL will continue to closely follow the developments and investigations in this matter,” the broadcaster said so far. Now a decision has apparently been made: According to information from “Bild”, the 32-year-old will no longer be there in the new season. Instead, he is replaced by another musician who has not only provided positive headlines in his past. Rapper Bushido (46) is said to be on board.
Jury change has not yet been officially confirmed
Pietro Lombardi has a long history with chief juror Dieter Bohlen (70) and “Germany is looking for the superstar”. In 2011 he won the eighth season as a candidate, in 2019 he was promoted to the jury himself, where he sat again a year later. After a short break, Pietro returned in 2023. According to “Bild”, Dieter Bohlen, who is now a personal friend of the singer, is said to have stood up for him. Apparently this didn’t help and Bushido is now moving up.
The jury change has not yet been officially confirmed. RTL did not want to comment when asked by Bild. According to the paper, Pietro Lombardi’s manager Markus Krampe (44) reacted “surprised” when he was asked about it, but said: “As long as no one from RTL has spoken to us, I can’t comment on it.”
