"It's enough": Boris Becker reports Cathy Hummels

In a podcast, Cathy Hummels talks about Boris Becker and his early release from prison. The ex-tennis star and his lawyer see their statements as defamation and announce that they will take legal action against them.

According to his lawyer, ex-tennis star Boris Becker reported influencer Cathy Hummels. "I filed a complaint for my client," said attorney Samy Hammad. The 55-year-old accuses Hummels of public defamation. "Anyone who defames my client in public in the future must expect a harsh reaction from my client and from me," Hammad said. "It is enough."

The background is said to be statements by Hummels in a podcast about Becker and his prison sentence for delaying bankruptcy. In the podcast, the 34-year-old positioned herself for the conviction of the 55-year-old. "He fooled people, he ruined them, you have to do it, I'm super serious," said Hummels. According to Hammad, the complaint was filed with the Munich I public prosecutor's office. There you could not confirm the receipt.

"Since my client does not know the content of the criminal complaint and the specific allegation, she cannot comment on the matter," said Hummels' lawyer Stefan Ventroni. "Regardless of this, Ms. Hummels stands by the view expressed in her podcast 'Shitstorm' that when a court sentence is imposed - regardless of the crime - other standards should not be applied because of a 'celebrity bonus'."

The "Bild" newspaper said Hummels: "I wish Boris Becker a nice year 2023." She pointed out that she met Becker's wife Lilly while on vacation in Dubai. "She sends him her regards as well." Hummels posted a video of this encounter on Instagram a few days ago.
