Christian Ulmen is no longer a partner at Pajama Pictures

The spokeswoman did not provide any further information about the separation, such as possible payments to Elmen for his shares. Ulmen most recently held 22.5 percent of the company. The shares are now divided between two owners - Seven.One Studios GmbH with a total of 77.5 percent and Carsten & Kelber Television GmbH of managing director Carsten Kelber with 22.5 percent.

Shortly after SPIEGEL reported on Collien Fernandes' allegations against Christian Ulmen, the ProSiebenSat.1 production company Pajama Pictures began negotiations with Ulmen about returning the shares.

Ulmen initially sued against Pajama's termination of contracts. Ultimately, the parties reached an out-of-court settlement. As can be seen from the commercial register, Christian Ulmen has no longer been a partner at Pajama Pictures GmbH for several weeks.

Ulmen had challenged SPIEGEL's reporting in court, but central allegations remained unaffected. It is undisputed that Ulmen sent sexualized content to other men in the name of Collien Fernandes via fake profiles on the Internet. His ex-wife had also accused him of physical violence, which Ulmen denies. The Potsdam public prosecutor's office is currently investigating him for bodily harm. A spokeswoman told SPIEGEL upon request that it is still being examined whether investigations will be initiated in connection with the allegations of “digital violence”.
