Collien Fernandes to testify in NRW parliament on digital violence
Actress Collien Fernandes is scheduled to appear as an expert witness at the North Rhine-Westphalia state parliament on October 1. Invited by the SPD, her testimony will focus on digital violence and the impact of deepfakes.
Fernandes' appearance follows public allegations she made against her ex-husband, Christian Ulmen. She has accused him of creating fake profiles in her name to distribute pornographic and sexualized content, a claim she has described as being 'virtually raped.' Ulmen has disputed these allegations.
The case has sparked significant public debate regarding sexualized violence on the internet and has prompted demonstrations in several German cities. The parliamentary hearing will include representatives from the state media authority, the organization Hate Aid, and the North Rhine-Westphalia cybercrime prosecutor's office.
