Promi Big Brother faces boycott threats over Kim Virginia and Nikola Grey
The upcoming season of the reality show ‘Promi Big Brother’ on Sat. 1 has sparked significant controversy following the announcement of Kim Virginia Grey and her husband, Nikola Grey, as participants. The inclusion of the couple has led to social media backlash, with some viewers threatening to boycott the program.
In response to the criticism, the production team defended the decision, stating that the show adheres to the principle that all participants are treated equally and have the opportunity to share their own stories. Other confirmed participants include actress Anouschka Renzi and model Tessa Bergmeier.
The 14-person cast will live in two distinct environments: a modern luxury house and a more basic garden setting. The new season is scheduled to premiere live on Monday, October 5, 2026, at 20:15.
