Markus Söder as dad in TV doc: daughter reveals diet habits and school bullying
Bavarian Minister President Markus Söder appears with his eldest daughter Gloria‑Sophie Burkandt in ProSieben’s documentary series “Born Famous – Fluch oder Segen”. In the program Burkandt says that, contrary to his public image of frequent fast‑food posts, her father also eats salad, fruit and vegetables, calling the “vegan‑erger‑thing” publicity.
Burkandt also recounts her own severe school bullying, describing physical blows that forced her to wear shin guards, and a past struggle with an eating disorder. She calls the lunch meetings with her father a “question‑interrogation game” and says she wishes for more quality time. The series highlights the complicated father‑daughter relationship while noting that Söder accepts her former vegan lifestyle privately.
