Abandonment Horror: Mega-Influencer Admits to Dumping Rabbits in the Wild
The pristine, picture-perfect world of German family influencer Alicia Vosgrau has officially collapsed into chaos and scandal. The star, who built a massive following of over two million across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube with her “aliciasmumlife” brand, is now facing a furious public backlash after allegedly abandoning four domesticated pet rabbits in a deep forest.
In a bombshell statement released on Instagram, Vosgrau finally addressed the horrifying claims that began circulating after a local animal shelter found and rescued three of the dumped animals in the Rantzau Forest back in August. Her confession, translated for a global audience, was an attempt at damage control—but it’s only fueled the fire.
“This has been weighing on my conscience for a while now, but I haven’t dared to address it myself until now because I feel incredibly guilty and ashamed,” Vosgrau wrote. The guilt-ridden post then confirmed the unbelievable story: “We had the incredibly stupid idea of releasing the remaining four rabbits into a wooded area, believing at the time that they would be fine there afterward.”
Crisis Spin: “Overwhelmed” Is No Excuse for Animal Cruelty
Vosgrau and her husband, Jan Vosgrau, welcomed their third child in June, a blessed event they heavily documented for their millions of adoring fans, proclaiming their family was “so full of love.” But behind the beaming smiles and perfect Instagram filters, the influencer claims a secret, dark “crisis” was unfolding that led to the shocking act of abandonment.
In a post that was quickly deleted—a classic PR move—Vosgrau attempted to frame the abandonment as a reaction to a personal breaking point. “It was an extremely exceptional situation and probably the most difficult time in our lives,” she reportedly wrote. “Unfortunately, we can’t undo it, no matter how much we wish we could.”
But the public isn’t buying the “overwhelmed new mom” spin. She even admitted the excuse was weak, stating, “I am aware that there is no excuse for the situation and that being overwhelmed is not a justification.” Fans and animal lovers alike are calling out the hypocrisy of projecting a “perfect life” while allegedly treating live animals as disposable props during a momentary personal downturn.
Animal Welfare Experts Issue Vicious Takedown of Her “Belief”
The German animal shelter that heroically saved the rabbits was quick to slam Vosgrau’s “belief” that the domesticated animals would be “fine” in the wild, stating the facts in a powerful social media post that went viral.
“For the record: Domesticated rabbits cannot survive alone in the wild,” the shelter stated bluntly. “They lack instincts and physical conditions that we humans have selectively ‘bred’ from you over centuries. So allegedly releasing animals is never a solution.”
This is not just a cute story about rabbits. This is a severe failure of responsibility by someone who earns millions selling the image of a perfect, ethical family life. Abandoning pets is a death sentence, and Vosgrau’s admission has exposed a dark underbelly to her curated brand.
“This is disgusting. You don’t just dump living, breathing pets because you’re stressed. Influencers who treat animals like props should be canceled forever. Shame on her and her husband.” – @PetLoverJodie
Legal Heat: Prosecutors Launch Full-Scale Animal Welfare Investigation
The scandal is officially migrating from social media comment sections to the prosecutor’s office. While Vosgrau has not been formally charged, the public pressure and the clear admission of dumping animals have caught the attention of law enforcement.
Henning Hadeler, the public prosecutor’s office spokesman, confirmed that the case is now active. He told the German newspaper Bild that the matter is “currently with the relevant police department for the necessary investigations regarding possible violations of the Animal Welfare Act.”
An investigation under the Animal Welfare Act is no joke. If found guilty, this could lead to heavy fines, potential jail time, and the complete destruction of her multi-million dollar brand empire. Legal experts are weighing in, suggesting that Vosgrau’s own deleted confession could be the biggest piece of evidence against her.
Brand Deals VANISH: Sponsors Flee the Scandal
The consequences for Vosgrau’s career are already catastrophic. The core of an influencer’s income is built on trust and sponsorships, and brands simply cannot afford to be associated with an alleged animal abuser. Multiple sources are reporting that several major collaborators—including couples and companies—have already pulled the plug on their partnerships with Vosgrau.
This massive, public backpedaling by sponsors is the clearest signal yet that her brand, built on “MOM FAMILY LOVE UNIVERSE,” is toxic. Fans are digging up her recent, flowery posts—like the one from December where she talked about her pregnancy waking her up and helping her “really find me now—my soul”—and contrasting it with the reality of the abandoned animals. The hypocrisy is staggering.
The influencer’s perfect family facade has crumbled. Two of the four rabbits have been rehomed, but the fate of the remaining one is still unclear. As prosecutors continue their deep dive into the alleged Animal Welfare Act violations, the question remains: Will Alicia Vosgrau’s digital empire survive this horrific scandal, or is her career officially dead in the water?
