The German TV world is now full of reality formats. In the past, these have always brought excitement along with a lot of entertainment. The trigger for this was usually the stars of the shows themselves.
For this reason, ProSieben launched “The Big Celebrity Bust” in 2022. Moderated by drag queen Olivia Jones, the most headline-grabbing reality participants of the past few years have to face their wrongdoings.
Among the candidates for the current third season are names like Sam Dylan and Jörg Hansen as well as the father-son duo from Legat. It is the ex-football professional Legat who is now causing a mega scandal in the camp.

Thorsten Legat suddenly leaves the ProSieben show
In each episode of the format, a different celebrity takes center stage. He then has to have his past sins recapitulated in a one-on-one conversation and under the strict observation of Olivia Jones. In the sixth recording it is Thorsten Legat’s turn. As a result, the 56-year-old has to suffer twice.
-This is how none other than Nico himself settles accounts with his fatherwhile he is confronted with the allegations in a separate room. Nico Legat reports, among other things, that he was never able to meet his parent’s expectations to his satisfaction. Nico lets his fellow campaigners know:
“It’s not respect, it’s fear. […] I’ve been living under pressure for years. I’m just being bullied, bullied, bullied.”
It goes on to say that he “suffers” a lot from his father. Meanwhile, Thorsten Legat himself bursts into tears in a one-on-one conversation with Olivia Jones.
But there is no discussion between father and son. Instead, the drama of the sixth episode reaches its climax with Thorsten Legat’s sudden departure. Joyn’s official website states that the former professional athlete left the show of his own free will.
The reasons for Legat’s departure are very different. “Bild” reports that other participants in the TV show were horrified by Nico Legat’s allegations.
“Celebrity Penance” participant raises allegations
The broadcaster itself is holding back. However, one of this year’s candidates in the format speaks openly about her experiences on the show. In an interview with Ramón Wagner on YouTube this week, Vanessa Mariposa criticized Thorsten Legat’s behavior during the recording.
In the conversation, the influencer said, among other things, that she felt “gawked at” by the candidate and found his sayings “disgusting”. According to her, the station also did not show the full extent of the situation. “I was shocked and just couldn’t believe why the blatant things that happened there just weren’t broadcast,” she emphasized.
