Olivia Jones became famous as an extravagant drag queen and has become an integral part of the German television landscape. The 52-year-old already knew at school that she was different from the others.
Behind the fictional character Olivia Jones is actually Oliver Knöbel, but most people probably only know Olivia – she is considered Germany’s No. 1 drag queen and also inspires in TV formats such as “Schlag den Star”.
In May 2021, she revealed to BUNTE in an interview how her father almost destroyed her family because he fled to Brazil after a bank robbery. She also addressed the long difficult relationship with her mother at the time.
In July 2020, the 52-year-old gave another insight into her private life and in particular her love for the Hamburg district of St. Pauli – in 2008 she realized her dream of having her own bar there. On the occasion of Pride Month, she now spoke to “gala.de” about her Book “Unvarnished – my shrill double life” and her plans for the next few years.
Olivia Jones revealed in an interview that she was “the shrill chicken on duty” at school. Make-up and bright fingernails were part of her daily routine, which was not well received by everyone: “In addition to the teachers, there were also some students who rejected it and who therefore despised, hostile and excluded me,” says the 52-year-old. But others celebrated her for her looks.
One would like to assume that her move to Hamburg was absolute fulfillment for her. But even in the travesty scene, she initially experienced rejection: “Of course, none of the old hands waited for me and almost everyone fiercely defended their small territory,” she reports. Hostilities were always part of it, from an early age. Now, with her self-chosen Oliver Jones family, she wants to do better.
After the legal mud fight between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, the guardian process between Britney Spears and her father Jamie Spears is causing a media sensation. The singer raises serious allegations against her father. The 69-year-old wants to defend himself against the allegations.
German tennis star Boris Becker has been in prison for exactly 50 days. Friends, family and fans feared that the time behind Swedish curtains would not be a walk in the park. According to rumours, the sports legend has already been moved to a “feel good cell”. The reason? The cell size.
Klausjürgen Wussow died 15 years ago and with him an acting era in the ZDF series “Die Schwarzwaldklinik” came to an end. His last wife organized a pompous funeral in his honor in the Berlin Memorial Church and many colleagues and friends were invited. However, the acting legend had another wish.
