The days of numerous performances in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Mallorca are over. The former “Jungle Queen” is now financially supported by her new partner and parents. “It’s not great at 37,” she told the court.

The court steadfast that Müller displayed the Hitler salute and provoked “Heil” chants from the audience. A search of her apartment in August 2023 also uncovered 0.69 grams of a cocaine mixture and an ecstasy tablet.
