After his friend, the short athlete Mathias Mester, was insulted in low-level comments, Martin Rütter made them public. Now the author reported to the star.
His video on Facebook caused a stir yesterday: dog professional Martin Rütter passionately spoke out in a clip against hatred on the internet. He carefully differentiated between uncomfortable criticism, which every celebrity can endure, and real insults and hate comments. The latter category definitely included several comments written by a woman Rütter’s good friend, the short athlete and “Let’s Dance” candidate Mathias Mester.
The woman, who Rütter also names in his video, had described Mester with an anti-disabled and discriminatory expression and suspected that he only took third place in the dance show because the jury gave him “compassion points”. Rütter then found out the commentator’s phone number and confronted her on the phone. After initially trying to get rid of him and saying that she would not watch anything like “Let’s Dance”, she now contacted the star.
Martin Rütter: Commentator reports
In her email to star the commentator addresses Mathias Mester directly, whom she has already tried to reach by phone, but without success. “I would like to formally apologize to you. I am very sorry that I have offended and hurt you. I cannot describe what got into me and I want to assure you that I fully understand my mistake.” , writes the woman.
It is often the case that people only think about the consequences of what they say online when they are made aware of it in “real life”. What many people don’t realize is that a few hastily written, insulting words can reach real people who are impacted by such comments. Still, not everyone manages to apologize honestly, a step that deserves respect. “I’m terribly sorry about all this,” writes the woman.
Genuine insight deserves respect
Of the star forwarded the woman’s message to both Martin Rütter and Mathias Mester. She agreed to the publication after consultation. If there is a discussion, we will report.
