Christian Ulmen Responds to Allegations of ‘Digital Assault’

Collien Fernandes went public last week with serious accusations against her ex-husband.
She told Der Spiegel that he had created realistic fake profiles of her on social networks.
She said those accounts contacted hundreds of men and engaged in sexual conversations.

Allegations in detail

Fernandes described the conduct as long-term and humiliating.
She used strong language, calling the acts a form of “digital rape.”

Der Spiegel reported that AI-generated pornographic images of Fernandes exist.
The magazine did not explicitly allege that Ulmen made deepfake videos.

Legal reply from Ulmen

Christian Ulmen has responded through his lawyer, Christian Scherz.
The first lawyer letter had simply called some claims untrue.

A later, more detailed letter obtained by WELT denied production or distribution of deepfake videos.
The legal team said such representations are false.

The letter did not contest reports that fake profiles messaged people close to Fernandes.
It also stated that no one-sided violence or threats were committed by their client.

Spanish police and court steps

The lawyer noted Spanish police had temporarily detained Fernandes.
They did so after an allegation that she had assaulted Ulmen, who had a neck injury.

Authorities reportedly viewed the incident as involving mutual wrongdoing.
A Spanish court has suspended the criminal proceedings for now.

The suspension followed Fernandes’ failure to provide a required notarized statement.
The court said a key procedural requirement was missing.

Fernandes’ public response

Fernandes replied on Instagram the same evening.
She disputed the lawyer’s description of the neck injury and highlighted her documented bruises.

She expressed disbelief at the account that minimized her claims.
Her post emphasized medical documentation of injuries across her body.

Context and fallout

The 50-year-old Ulmen and the 44-year-old Fernandes began their relationship in 2011.
They announced their separation last year and share one daughter.

Coverage of the allegations sparked a national debate about digital violence against women.
Federal Justice Minister Stefanie Hubig said she wants to close legal gaps related to such abuse.
