The German magazine "Der Spiegel" published a story about Collien Fernandes (44, TV presenter and actress) and Christian Ulmen (50, actor, comedian, director and producer) yesterday.
The couple recently divorced after 15 years of marriage without any public drama.
In recent years, Fernandes has become increasingly vocal about the dangers of deepfake pornography. She herself has been a victim. Numerous manipulated pornographic videos featuring her face have circulated online, along with fake social media profiles impersonating her, engaging in explicit conversations with men and distributing the material. Yesterday, she publicly revealed the full extent of the situation in the mentioned article.
Fernandez filed a police report against unknown perpetrators. On Christmas Day 2024, Ulmen allegedly confessed to her that he himself had created the fake profiles and distributed the manipulated pornographic content. She states that he panicked after learning about the police report and admitted everything in the hope that she would withdraw it.
Fernandes later shared on social media that Ulmen justified his actions as a form of control and said that, as his wife, she was someone he could “offer” sexually to others.
Ulmen contacted a lawyer shortly after his confession, allegedly stating that he had “lost control” and developed a fetish that drove his behavior.
Over the course of approximately ten years, he is said to have used fake profiles of his wife to contact hundreds of men. Around 30 of them maintained ongoing, highly explicit interactions with the profiles. These exchanges escalated to phone sex, during which Ulmen reportedly used AI tools to imitate his wife’s voice. The targets included both strangers and individuals from their professional environment. In one case, a director who believed he had developed a real connection with Fernandes later approached her, which ultimately lead to the exposure of the fake profiles.
Fernandes has since filed a police report in Spain, where the couple lived, and investigations are currently ongoing.
Also worth mentioning: In 2013, Ulmen had a super misogynistic TV show called "Who wants to fuck my girlfriend"…

I’ve never heard of these two before but what this vile man did to his wife is atrocious. I cant imagine finding out that the person I’d love and trust more than anything did something so horrendous to me.
I read this story yesterday and it became worse with every single sentence. What the actual fuck.
I feel so unbelievably sorry for her. She made a documentary about the dangers of deepfake porn a while ago and was quite vocal about being a victim. I can’t imagine the horror of finding out that her husband was the one behind all of this.
Edit: He was sending these men “erotic stories” in which his wife was raped. With detailed descriptions of her fear and pain. This guy is a monster.
This is sick. He put her life in danger. What if one of those men wanted to take it further and find Collien in person? Lock him up.
her husband.. i have no words.
I CHOOSE THE BEAR!!!!
What in the psycho? And for 10 years?!
Not all men, but somehow always a man.
This is horrifying. My first thought is that any stranger could have done this to her as they have the same access to her voice and likeness as a TV presenter. But the person who is motivated to do so is her own husband.
