Now, some German media are casting doubt on whether the singer's story checks out. The employee has a different account of the incident. The public prosecutor's office also received a complaint against the hotel employee from a third party who was not involved, for incitement of hatred. The hotel has apologized to Ofarim, but the employee involved has filed a defamation lawsuit against him. The alleged incident sparked outrage across Germany and among Jewish groups. The video has since been viewed millions of times and has reignited the debate about hostility toward Jews in Germany. In a video published on Instagram, Ofarim described the incident. In it, he is clearly wearing a Star of David necklace. His chain bore a pendant in the shape of the Star of David - a widely recognized symbol of Judaism. He said a hotel staff member and a guest had demanded that he remove his necklace if he wanted to stay at the hotel. Known among other things for participating in the popular talent show The Voice of Germany, Ofarim recently revealed how he was harassed at a hotel in the eastern German city of Leipzig in early October. In recent weeks, the issue of antisemitism in Germany has been hotly debated following an incident involving German musician Gil Ofarim.
