Bro Bro, Sayin' Goodbye to 'Naddel': Nadja Abd el Farrag's Private Burial
Nuanced reports indicate Nadja Abd el Farrag has been laid to rest.
Hamburg, the city of her birth and her final resting place, bid farewell to Nadja Abd el Farrag, popularly known as 'Naddel', on May 9 at the age of 60. The actress and media personality passed away in the city, and reports suggest her funeral was held privately, away from the spotlight.
According to a Bild newspaper report, the Hanseatic city welcomed 'Naddel' one last time in the Ohlsdorf cemetery. The funeral was a quiet affair, held in the presence of close family and friends, far from the media hype that surrounded her passing. Her mother Ute, her sister Tamara, and Lilly, her beloved Golden Retriever, were among the mourners.
In an interview with RTL after her death, a former manager and friend of 'Naddel', Marion Ellendorf, spoke about her heart's desire. She dreamt of a loving partner, a child, and a stable relationship, but her life was anything but steady.
Days before her 60th birthday on March 5, the challenges of her later years had frequently derailed her. Her bouts with health issues and financial struggles left her feeling 'lost and homeless', casting a long shadow over her life.
Roller Coaster: A Life in the Limelight
Diagnosed with liver cirrhosis in 2018, 'Naddel' attributed her health problems to the medication she took for her ADHD. In a 2015 talk show, she candidly discussed her alcohol addiction, stating that she would drink two to three glasses of wine several nights a week and occasionally during the day. Despite her liver problems, she couldn't shake off the bottle until the end.
Her addiction and health struggles were under constant scrutiny by the media, stemming from her high-profile romance with Dieter Bohlen, a German pop legend. Their relationship, which spanned the late '80s to the early '00s with brief reconnections, made 'Naddel' a tabloid fixture, but also left her vulnerable to criticism.
After their split, 'Naddel' made several attempts at a TV career, appearing in shows like "Peep" on RTL2 and "Ich bin ein Star - Holt mich hier raus!" Although these endeavors helped her stay in the limelight, they couldn't ensure a stable income or personal happiness.
