Shirin David Says Netflix Documentary Misrepresented Her

Shirin David says her Netflix documentary turned her life into “the suffering story of an allegedly completely overwhelmed woman.” The 31-year-old rapper criticized the production on Instagram, saying the portrayal had been constructed and did not reflect the depth or background she expected.

She was referring to “Barbara, Becoming Shirin David,” released earlier this year. David said the issue extended beyond her own case, arguing that successful women are routinely judged through stereotypes while men are celebrated for half as much achievement. She added that she appreciated having a film made about her, but wanted “more depth, more background and less whining.”

Netflix responded to Bild by saying, “Our talent documentaries tell the stories that emerge from the access artists give us during a production.”

Elsewhere in the entertainment news, Andrea Kiewel discovered an unwelcome live-show hazard when an insect apparently became trapped in her red dress during ZDF-Fernsehgarten. She suddenly recoiled and shook the dress, then said, “It was a bee, oh no, no, no, and it stung me.” After introducing the next musical act, she later said, “I think, knock on wood three times, I’m not allergic to these stings. I’m allergic to all sorts of things, but not that.” The show’s Instagram account later posted a photograph with the message, “Survived a bee sting and Kiwi is doing well.”

Matthias Koeberlin, who plays Commissioner Micha Oberländer in the ZDF series “The Dead of Lake Constance,” also discussed his relationship with games. Although chess features in a new episode, he told dpa that the game had never played an important role in his life. He said he did not play it and understood it only “rudimentarily.” His parents and grandparents enjoyed Doppelkopf, and he occasionally plays a game with his siblings, though he said those occasions happen far too rarely.
