Schneider said that he did not believe that Lindemann had done anything illegal, but added that the singer has “distanced himself from us in recent years and created his own bubble”.Allegations against Lindemann began to surface at the end of last month when a woman claimed online that she had been drugged after being invited to join pre- and after-show parties at a concert in Vilnius, Lithuania.
After she went public, other women came forward with their own allegations.Both Lindemann and the band have strongly denied these accusations. However, police in Berlin are now investigating Lindemann, and a spokesperson for the band told the BBC that they are conducting their own internal investigation.Referring to the accusations made against Lindemann in recent weeks, Schneider issued a statement in German on social media this weekend.“No, I don’t think anything criminal – such as the use of knockout drugs – happened”, he wrote.
“I don’t think anything illegal was going on, I’ve never seen anything like it, nor heard anything like it from any of our crew of 100 people”.“All I heard about Till’s parties was that adults were celebrating together”, he then added. “And yet things seem to have happened that, although legally OK, I personally don’t think are OK”.He went on to say that “certain structures have emerged that went beyond the limits and values of the other band members” and, with that in mind, “it is also important to us that Till’s parties are not confused with our official after show parties”.“Till has distanced himself

Elsa Keslassy International Correspondent After starring in Mona Achache’s “Little Girl Blue” which played at Cannes, Marion Cotillard will work with another daring French female auteur, Lucile Hadzihalilovic, on her next film “La tour de glace.” The long-gestated film marks the first collaboration between Hadzihalilovic and Muriel Merlin (“France,” “The Truth”), producer at 3B Productions. Hadzihalilovic’s follow up to “Earwig,” which won the jury prize at San Sebastian, “La Tour de glace” is expected to be the director’s most accessible and ambitious film to date. The movie will reteam Hadzihalilovic with Cotillard who had starred in her 2004 film “Innocence.” Co-written by Geoff Cox, “La tour de glace” is set in the 1970s and follows Jeanne, a teenage girl who runs away from her orphanage located in a mountain village. She flees to Paris with big dreams to fulfill and finds shelter in a warehouse which turns out to be used as a studio where The Snow Queen is being filmed. The film’s star, Cristina, a beautiful woman in her forties, takes Jeanne under her wing, exerting a dangerous and overpowering influence over the young girl she sees herself in.
