Thilo Mischke will no longer serve as the moderator for ARD’s cultural program ‘ttt – titel, thesen, temperamente’ following significant backlash over allegations of sexism related to his past work. The ARD stated that the controversy overshadowed the program’s objectives. Over 100 cultural figures protested his appointment, citing inadequate self-reflection on his book from 2010, which depicted his attempt to seduce 80 women. Despite initial support for Mischke, the ARD has now decided to distance the program from potential reputational harm.
