German actress Collien Fernandes investigated years of online impersonation where someone pretended to be her, sending sexually explicit material and creating fake affairs. After discovering a video appearing to show her in sexual acts with multiple men, she traced the harassment to her husband, comedian Christian Ulmen. Her confrontation in a Phu Quoc hotel suite in March 2021 ignited a national feminist movement in Germany, compared to #MeToo.

Fernandes had spoken publicly about gender double standards, published feminist children’s books, and produced a feminism documentary. Ulmen, known for cringe humor in his show 'Jerks,' had taken a year off after their daughter’s birth in 2012. The couple, married for 14 years, were seen as egalitarian figures before the scandal.

Fernandes’ actions exposed deep digital abuse and sparked widespread discourse on online harassment, consent, and accountability in relationships.
