A message can be written quickly; many who spread hate online know this. Whether intentionally or unknowingly, they cause a lot of harm. Host Lola Weippert highlighted this issue by speaking out in a powerful video on her Instagram page.
Lola Weippert knows how to choose her words to strike the right tone. With a mix of admonishment and emotion, she addressed the topic of “hate on the internet.” She used a wave of hate she received due to a mix-up with another public figure named Lola. STYLEBOOK explains what’s behind it.
Overview
Lola Weippert Has Had Enough
“On the outside, we all appear strong to many who watch,” says Lola Weippert in a so-called Reel on her Instagram account. In the nearly three-minute video, the TV host says she received a “shitstorm as an Easter gift.” This refers to hate messages that were actually meant for another woman: the streamer QuiteLola.
Nevertheless, Weippert uses this as an opportunity to once again address online hate. First, the current wave of hate was due to a mix-up, and second, she is now mentally stable enough to handle death threats and other messages well.
“I Have Become Partially Paranoid”
“Please start thinking about what you’re putting out there,” Weippert urges. She receives daily death threats, hate messages, and wishes for her to fall ill—and this has consequences. “I have definitely become partially paranoid because of social media,” Lola Weippert admits. Public figures shouldn’t have to automatically get used to cyberbullying.
The 29-year-old influencer gives a glimpse into her daily life and the anxiety it causes: “You make it so that when I leave the house, I’m always afraid someone will come around the corner and actually want to kill me.” She elaborates: “You can only see into people’s heads, not into their minds.”
Lola Weippert Repeatedly Addresses the Topic
The German reality TV host spoke out nearly a year ago about a wave of hate she received due to comments made on television. After participating in the RTL show “Beat the Best,” she became the target of disapproving messages. Her reaction was a post sharing some of the messages she had received. The caption reads: “Calling someone stupid doesn’t make you smarter. Calling someone ugly doesn’t make you prettier, and making someone else’s life hell doesn’t make you stronger. Please stop belittling others to feel big.”
These hostilities are primarily directed at women. A 2021 study by HateAid and ZDF Magazin Royale found that women are up to three times more likely to be victims of sexualized threats of violence than men.

This Was the Real Lola Involved
In fact, this so-called shitstorm was a mix-up with another woman named Lola. It involves QuiteLola, her name on the video game and streaming platform Twitch, where she has nearly 110,000 followers. The hate directed at her stems from a story told by her ex-boyfriend Kilian Roberto Heinrich (known as “Tanzverbot”), who accused her of cheating in a YouTube video. She allegedly cheated on him with another streamer.
Heinrich’s claims not only triggered a wave of hate messages against the intended ex-girlfriend Lola but also against host Lola Weippert. Even though the message writers should primarily hold themselves accountable, it was likely not entirely unclear to the streamer “Tanzverbot” what effect this could have on his former partner. Stirring up hate on the internet is not just uncool but truly dangerous. As Lola Weippert says in her latest video: “When you send people such messages, it can have serious consequences.”
