Carmen Geiss in Europapark: Instagram Post Triggers Animal Protection Shitstorm!

Recently, Carmen Geiss, her husband Robert, and their daughters Davina and Shania visited the popular Europapark. As usual, Carmen shared impressions of the trip with her millions of followers on Instagram. Among other things, she posted photos and short clips from the stunt show "The Legend of Zorro," in which acrobats performed daring tricks on horses. Carmen was thrilled and gushed: "What an amazing show today, with lots of humor, acrobatics, and of course, excitement." However, this enthusiasm was not well received by everyone.

The Shitstorm Begins

The social media world reacted promptly—and not at all enthusiastically. A genuine shitstorm broke out, as many fans expressed strong criticism. Comments repeatedly appeared condemning the use of animals for entertainment purposes. "Why must animals always be used for human amusement?" asked one user, whose comment received much support. Another added: "Should be banned. Not acceptable!" Some even urged Carmen to use her influence to protest against such animal shows instead of promoting them. So far, there has been no official response from the millionaire's wife to the allegations.

Not the First Animal Welfare Controversy

It is not the first time Carmen Geiss has faced animal welfare accusations. Just recently, a fishing trip as part of her TV documentary "The Geissens" sparked heated discussions. Viewers saw Carmen jubilantly release a huge carp caught for filming. This so-called "catch and release" method is largely banned in Germany under animal welfare laws, as it is considered animal cruelty. Although the filming took place in Austria, the discussions about the Geissens' treatment of animals continue unabated.

And where else was Carmen?

While the storm over her Europapark pictures brewed online, Carmen missed another important family event. When her daughters Davina and Shania brought home the victory on "Beat the Star" on Saturday evening, the 60-year-old was conspicuously absent. Robert Geiss was only present with his sister. His reason for Carmen's absence? "Someone in the family has to work." Whether this absence is related to the current controversy or simply a sign of Carmen's busy schedule remains speculation. One thing is certain: The Geissens always provide fodder for conversation—whether intentional or not!
