Pietro Lombardi has left DSDS, as conveyed to Dieter Bohlen.
Pietro Lombardi, the winner of the eighth season of Deutschland sucht den Superstar (DSDS) in 2011, has decided not to return as a juror for the upcoming season, following a series of events that led to a broader reshuffling of the DSDS jury.
The departure of Lombardi, along with fellow jurors Beatrice Egli and Loredana, was primarily due to the impact of domestic violence allegations against Lombardi and the strategic restructuring of the DSDS jury[1][3]. Although these allegations were later clarified, Lombardi chose to stay away from the show.
As for his future plans, specific details about Lombardi's next steps after leaving DSDS have not been publicly disclosed[1]. However, given Beatrice Egli's expressed enthusiasm for new challenges after her exit, it is possible that Lombardi may also pursue new opportunities in music or other areas, though this is not explicitly documented.
Lombardi has been open about his DSDS departure, expressing his feelings on Instagram. He stated that every chapter has to end sometime, implying a sense of closure[1]. In a recent Instagram story, he also wished the new DSDS jury, consisting of Dieter Bohlen, gangster rapper Bushido, and Schlager singer Isi Glück, good luck.
Interestingly, Lombardi won DSDS under the guidance of Dieter Bohlen, who will be returning as a juror for the new season. Lombardi expressed his expectation that Bohlen would think about him during the new season[1].
Despite his departure from DSDS, Lombardi remains grateful for his journey on the show. He has also made headlines with a touching love declaration and participated in an Instagram Q&A, answering a spicy question about cheating and bondage.
In the past, Lombardi turned down many offers out of loyalty, but it seems he is now open to new opportunities[1]. A previous Instagram story about his DSDS exit has since been deleted, suggesting a desire to move forward.
Throughout his career, Lombardi has maintained a clear stance on alcohol, claiming he has never drunk any. This commitment to a healthy lifestyle may indicate a focus on new endeavours that align with his personal values.
As Lombardi embarks on this new chapter, fans eagerly await news of his future projects and continued success.
Pietro Lombardi might venture into new opportunities in music or other aspects of pop-culture, similar to Beatrice Egli, given his expressed interest in new challenges and the absence of further details about his future plans. Lombardi's departure from entertainment-centric shows like DSDS may pave the way for him to focus more on his personal values, which include a commitment to a healthy lifestyle.
