Summary

Collien Fernandes, a 44-year-old actress and media personality based in Berlin, reported that her ex-husband, actor Christian Ulmen, secretly engaged in online sexual misconduct against her for approximately ten years. The alleged behavior included the creation and distribution of deepfake pornography, fake social media accounts posting nude images, and the use of her identity for sexual conversations and fantasies. Fernandes publicly accused Ulmen in December 2024, following a documentary she participated in about the issue. Ulmen denies spreading deepfake content, claiming the material involved porn actors resembling her or images of female bodies without visible faces. Fernandes is seeking legal resolution in Spain due to stronger protections for victims of online violence there, after the couple separated last year.
