Both Obute and Lotz won a go-see that episode. The conversation was fully taped and aired during the show. She was confronted by host Lena Gercke with the video material in front of the other two girls. Gercke then told her that she was expelled from the show given the competition has no room for racist ideas and thoughts. Puls 4 was later on accused of using the controversy for promotional purpose as Berghahns comments were already shown in the preview for the episode and not censored during the air. Berghahn was not invited to the final runway show of the cast on the cycles final and later stated that the scandal ruined her life.
