The new face of the RTL streaming service TV Now is currently filming in Dubai and from there contacted more than 323,000 subscribers via Instagram.
Weippert wanted to send her fans “a little vacation” by walking along the beach in front of the picturesque backdrop of the Arab Emirates while the rushing waves lapped over their feet. She captured the “walk” on camera for her fans.
So far, so beautiful – and above all harmless. But that changed suddenly and very radically!
Because in the next part of her story, the former voice of the bigFM morning show published a screenshot from her private messages that showed a user’s response to her clip: “Cunt”.
Lola reacted confidently as usual and ridiculed the user: “Lola is my name, not cunt! Have a wonderful evening too!”

After that, the influencer, who has meanwhile moved from Stuttgart to Berlin and who also works as a model, became very serious.
“A short addition: That is the reason why I ask Instagram that they slowly start personalizing these profiles! That everyone knows who is behind them and ideally you have to verify yourself,” said the future moderator of ” Temptation Island – Temptation in Paradise “. Otherwise, insults and hate speech on the picture and video platform would continue to hit fertile ground.
Lola is repeatedly the target of hatred on Instagram, and she receives threats of violence and even death with terrifying regularity. She is also confronted with sexism. In contrast to many other influencers with high reach on Instagram, she deliberately deals very openly with the topic, publishes private messages and shows the profiles of the propagandists uncensored.
In June of this year Weippert achieved a great success: the Stuttgart police called her and informed her that the material they had collected on death threats had been forwarded to the public prosecutor for further examination.
The senders of the messages could face imprisonment for up to a year.
