Ex-GNTM-Zicke Tessa Bergmeier lives from Hartz IV - and counts now mercilessly!
In the fourth season of 'Germany's Next Top Model', she made a name for herself as a bitch and remain in the audience's minds as the person Heidi Klum showed the middle finger. And even after the show, Tessa Bergmeier did not succeed in putting off this image. By now she is 28 years old and a single mother. The 'image' betrayed her that she has not found any lucrative jobs for a long time - and now lives on Hartz IV.
The blame is above all the press. On Instagram, the model makes her anger now. No German customer wanted to book them because they have the stamp "difficult". Not even a management could find her for nine years.
"You created this version of me!"
View this post on InstagramI've never staged, as is often thought - but this character was created by the media. This character has been a victim of the media landscape and one thing is clear: you have created your? Tessa Bergmeier? Version. You can keep this version in your mind - because it does not belong to me. You can not help it, you have not learned otherwise and it is your job. I just wish you to think about it when you make little girls ready. How many untruths you have spread about me since I was 19 and I never had the chance to speak or correct. But as you said, from my Instagram in your messages, as I have stated, my message is well received. I know my truth and that's all that matters. It makes me sad when I think of how many people without a protective hand over themselves will fall victim to you. Due to my image, hardly any German customer wants to book me. Not even a management I can find for over 9 years. I have the stamp "difficult?" Incidentally, in Turkey, where nobody knows me, I am always known as the sweet smiling girl? booked for commercials. Why? Because I made that believable in every video casting because it's in my heart. I have always been different, cheerful, self-confident, full of energy and ideas, imaginative and creative, always trying to make everyone laugh - because I always felt that many around me are sad. For years you hurt me with words - where I would almost have preferred physical violence. Today, your words can not help me anymore. I may have been torn internally - but all the pieces in me have rearranged metaphorically to the most sparkling kaleidoscopic shard pile and an endless garland of sequin cloth. I will never stop believing in the goodness of people and I forgive you and thank you for this challenge. #noregrets ???

I've never staged, as is often thought - but this character was created by the media. This figure has been a victim of the media landscape and one thing I realize: You have created your "Tessa Bergmeier" version. You can keep this version in your mind - because it does not belong to me.
The former GNTM nominees, who later appeared in shows such as 'The Alm' or 'Sat 1 Promoboxes', explains that they are very different from those shown by the media. "I've always been cheerful, self-confident, full of energy and ideas, imaginative and creative, always trying to make everyone laugh - because I've always felt that many around me are sad." For years you have hurt me with words, where I would almost have preferred physical violence. "
For many of their fans, however, this bill is less good. They ask the 28-year-old to finally take responsibility for her life. "No one needs absolution from a Hartzi. Can you keep it, how would it be to take responsibility for one's own life instead of blaming one's own failures on the society you've been living for years?" one user and another agrees: "you have to be very dissatisfied with yourself."
Tessa Bergmeier looks ahead
Nevertheless, Tessa does not regret the years in public. She enjoys her life with her two-year-old daughter Lucy. In an interview with 'Bild' she explains:
I was a doll long enough, but I do not regret anything. I understand that I have everything I need? and I am perfectly happy today.
