German cabaret artist Dieter Nuhr has rejected accusations that he mocked the murders of women on a satirical show. He responded after criticism was sparked by a clip from the program "Nuhr im Ersten XXL," in which he spoke about femicides and about men being accused of violence against women. Deutschlandfunk ↗
Nuhr addressed the objections on Facebook. He wrote that he had not been joking about femicides, and called the accusations ridiculous. According to available information, the criticism was triggered by passages in which he defended men against blanket suspicion of violent behavior toward women, while also pointing to the behavior of victims.

The debate spread after an excerpt from the program was published. Some critics argue that the remarks crossed the line of satire, while the broadcaster has invoked artistic freedom. The dispute therefore concerns not only the specific appearance, but also the broader question of how satire should address violence committed against women. The Guardian ↗
The case will likely continue to feature in the media and public debate, particularly regarding the limits of humor, the responsibility of public figures, and the way sensitive social issues are handled in television formats. BBC News ↗
