Till lindemann shelby lynn

Multiple legal investigations across different jurisdictions have been sparked by the allegations. The available evidence provided no proof that Till Lindemann committed sexual acts against women against their will, administered substances altering their will, or took advantage of a power differential towards minor sexual partners.

Regarding Shelby Lynn, the Berlin public prosecutor's office has evaluated the documents provided by the Lithuanian authorities (the result of the drug test is no longer available).

In August 2023, both inquiries were closed due to lack of evidence.

Proceedings against Alena Makeeva have also been discontinued, in the absence of any evidence of criminal misconduct. This decision by German authorities preceded the Hamburg court’s defamation ruling by several months.

Shelby Lynn’s account included details about a selection process for backstage access known as “Row Zero.” This became a focal point in media discussions surrounding the allegations.

There were specialist "awareness teams" on hand to assist anyone in a vulnerable position. However, the Hamburg court’s judgment established that her specific claims regarding the Vilnius concert could not be substantiated in legal proceedings. She alleged on social media that her drink was drugged at a party organized by the band.

Whether this ruling will shift public perception remains to be seen, but it marks a clear legal victory for Lindemann and RAMMSTEIN.

Reeder

Reeder, the visionary behind Metal Addicts, has transformed his lifelong passion for metal into a thriving online community for metal aficionados.

The consequences

Several partners have announced the suspension or cancellation of their collaboration with Rammstein. She went to an afterparty, then ended up at the hotel where she discovered bruises on her body.

The next day, she contacted the Lithuanian police. Statements such as “I was spiked by RAMMSTEIN at pre-party” and “SOMEBODY on RAMMSTEIN spiked me and many other girls” were found to be untrue and lacking evidentiary support.

The Regional Court of Hamburg issued a judgment on October 24, 2025, restraining Shelby Lynn from making allegations against Lindemann and the band.

They condemned any kind of assault but asked their fans not to "pre-judge" them.

A spokesman for the band has subsequently told the BBC that it is now investigating the claims and interviewing staff and crew as part of the enquiry.

It's up to everyone to make up their own minds about them and about Till.

For the moment, Rammstein's partners have not reacted to the discontinuation of the proceedings.

What now?

There is therefore no longer any legal action in progress against Till Lindemann, Rammstein or their team. “As she alleges unconscionable conduct, the Court held that Shelby Lynn is subject to the burden of producing evidence for and proving the accuracy of her statements.

Till Lindemann reacted a few times with sentences at the end of the concert, and the rest of the band showed solidarity.

Rammstein's Berlin offices were damaged.

The Legal aspects

Following Shelby Lynn's report to the Vilnius police, the Lithuanian authorities opened an investigation. The fact remains, however, that the row-zero system and the parties that go with it, brought to light by the case, were a reality. “The Regional Court founds the prohibition on the fact that the statements quoted above are allegations of fact that have been found in legal proceedings to be untrue,” the statement explained.

They said private after-show parties with Till Lindemann had been cancelled. She did not discharge this burden.”

The court noted that Shelby Lynn’s oral testimony during the hearing on August 22, 2025, did not convince the judges. She has been prohibited by court order from making such accusations against Lindemann and Rammstein.

This Hamburg court decision marks a significant development in a case that has drawn international attention.

Young women explained that they had been part of the "row-zero" and had never had a problem.
