Dieter Wedel
Director
Dieter Wedel is a German film and television director known for his work on Der Schattenmann, Der große Bellheim, and Einmal im Leben – Geschichte eines Eigenheims.
In 2018, several women accused Wedel of serious sexual misconduct, including allegations of sexual harassment and attempted rape.
One actress accused Wedel of raping her in 1991, and strangling her when she fought back. Another actress accused Wedel of violently raping her during what the director claimed was a casting session. A third actress accused the director of retaliating against her professionally when she rejected his sexual advances.
Most of the allegations date to the 1980s and 1990s and are beyond the statute of limitations.
