Leyla Heiter hits back after Kim Virginia takedown: 'Was done to us too'

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Leyla Heiter hits back after Kim Virginia takedown: 'Was done to us too'.

Reality-TV storm in a teacup: Leyla Heiter has hit back after her sharp takedown of Kim Virginia and her husband Nikola Grey – and pushed back against criticism from the community. In an Instagram Story, she made clear that such things had "also been done to us" before. The message behind it: She won't be silenced from speaking her honest opinion in the future either.

Kim Virginia (31) herself has every reason to look forward: The self-proclaimed reality queen will move into the Promi Big Brother container in 2026 together with her husband Nikola Grey (30). It's her first TV appearance in around two years – and simultaneously a return to a format that delivers maximum attention in the German reality-TV world.

What Leyla Heiter says exactly

After her sharp comments about the couple's move-in, Leyla Heiter apparently faced pushback. As OK! Magazin reports, she subsequently took a stance in her Instagram Story. Her key sentence: "Was done to us too." What exactly she had criticized about Kim Virginia and Nikola Grey, and what accusations were leveled against her in detail, is not revealed in the report. What's clear is this: Heiter apparently sees herself caught in a double-standards trap – just as it was done to her before, so now apparently to others.

Kim Virginia: Back in the spotlight

Who is the woman the beef is about? Kim Virginia Grey is 31 years old, now lives in Dubai, and makes her money as a content creator and entrepreneur. According to Promiflash, her last TV format was Promis unter Palmen – after which came a roughly two-year break. That's also where she met her now-husband Nikola Grey (30): a flirt turned into a committed relationship, and the two are now married. With their joint Promi Big Brother move-in in 2026, she's reportedly embarking on the "next big adventure in front of the camera."

What remains open – and what you can take away

What exactly triggered the spat between the reality personalities, and which specific statements from Leyla Heiter caused the pushback, both available sources are keeping under wraps for now. A statement from Kim Virginia or Nikola Grey on Heiter's Instagram Story is also nowhere to be found in the reports. But one thing already seems certain: The Promi Big Brother container is getting drama programming before the cameras are even really rolling – and Leyla Heiter is clearly ready to pile on in the coming weeks.
