“Lousy little guy”: Harald Schmidt’s verdict on Oliver Pocher in 2008 was devastating and his words about the comedian still resonate years later. Pocher is currently in the headlines again. His marriage to the make-up artist Amira Pocher failed. The couple themselves had this in their couples podcast “Die Pochers!” announced. An interesting communication strategy to continue to appear as a team. The podcast was also supposed to continue until the comedian himself announced on Instagram that he no longer wanted to work with Amira due to a “loss of trust”.
Although hurt feelings can definitely be read in Pocher’s post, the comedian is keeping a low profile about his circumstances. “The only thing that matters right now…” he posted hours later and filmed himself reading a book to his children that evening. A look at Pocher’s past shows that his separations were rarely harmonious. The 45-year-old never resisted swipes at his ex-partners.
At the beginning of the 2000s, actress Jessica Schwarz gave up Pocher. This caused him to launch a nasty attack of blasphemy. “Without wanting to offend her: Jessica Schwarz has never had a really big role with which she would have taken off. If it weren’t for Dominik Graf, who staged her more or less well with a shaky camera, 80 percent of her roles would be lost Films away,” he blasphemed in an interview with the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” in 2010.
From 2005 to 2009 he was in a relationship with model Monica Meier-Ivancan. The former bachelorette and the joker separated because of different life plans. Meier-Ivancan told In magazine that she had wanted the separation. “It’s clear that I want a lot of children, and that’s why I have to start soon. Unfortunately, this topic has been ignored,” she said. Was that why Pocher’s feelings were so hurt that he didn’t leave Ivancan in good stead even years after the love affair ended? Only he can answer that himself. He last gossiped about his ex-partner in 2022, more than ten years after they broke up. She didn’t greet him at the Oktoberfest, he said in the podcast with Amira. “Maybe she was so botoxed that her lips no longer move. Or maybe she had a stroke or can’t speak properly,” he teased well below the belt.
In 2010, Pocher married Boris Becker’s ex-girlfriend Alessandra Meyer-Wölden. The divorce followed in 2013. Despite having children together, the comedian wasn’t above cracking a joke at Meyer-Wölden’s expense. “The saying applies to Sandy: too young to die, too old for Lothar Matthäus,” he said. Today the two maintain a friendly relationship.
His ex-wife was followed by tennis player Sabine Lisicki. He didn’t care about her either. On the RTL show “Global Gladiators” he made fun of the athlete. “I’ve never been with a female athlete. I don’t know what it’s like to be with a top athlete.” When actor Raúl Richter, also a candidate on the show, asked why Lisicki has the nickname “Bum-Bum-Bine”, Pocher replied with the sex reference “Not because of that” in order to get a laugh from his fellow players.
In a now-deleted tweet, he also reacted to Lisicki’s announcement that she was parting ways with her coach. The tennis player had her original tweet with the hashtags “
Pocher would probably sell his own grandmother for a joke. Will he handle Amira the same way? The previous communication between the two and the promise to pull together for their children speaks against this. However, Pocher’s most recent posting speaks for this. If his feelings are actually hurt – as in the case of Ivancan and Schwarz – there is little that should dissuade him from lashing out against his estranged wife. And apparently having children together doesn’t stop him from hitting below the belt. Amira should have been warned.
