Christian Ulmen accused of decade-long digital abuse against ex-wife Collien Fernandes

Actor Christian Ulmen faces serious allegations of digital abuse against his ex-wife, Collien Fernandes. The claims involve the creation of pornographic deepfakes and impersonation over more than a decade. Fernandes has since filed a criminal complaint in Spain, where both reside.

Fernandes initially believed unknown individuals were targeting her. But in 2024, Ulmen reportedly admitted to the acts. According to Der Spiegel, evidence includes an email where Ulmen confessed to making fake profiles and engaging in sexting with men while posing as Fernandes.

The allegations extend to AI-generated voice cloning, used in sexually explicit conversations under her name. Ulmen is also accused of sending pornographic content while impersonating her. Spanish authorities are now examining the case, though no other parties have come forward with statements or evidence. Digital sexual violence covers unwanted acts that violate sexual self-determination online. This includes revenge porn, deepfake pornography, cyberstalking, and unsolicited sexual messages. Fernandes' case highlights how such abuse can persist long after a relationship ends.

Ulmen remains presumed innocent until legal proceedings conclude. The investigation continues under Spanish jurisdiction. If proven, the case could set a precedent for how digital abuse is handled in future legal battles.
