A Fresh Face on "Hartz and Heartfelt": 35-year-old Taddel
Hailing from Mannheim-Waldhof, Taddel is here to captivate viewers, having already played a role in introducing her half-sister Natascha "Nana" to their neighbor Mel, a union that's lasted for two years.
Family Ties and Shared LivingTaddel, a dark-haired woman with a 15-year-old son from her previous relationship, has lived in the same yellow block in Mannheim-Waldhof since her marriage to the boy's father ended. Tragically, the family patriarch passed away in 2020, leaving Taddel without a home. She recalls, "And as macabre as it sounds, he made room for me." Now, she claims to feel a strong bond with the deceased, remarking, "He's twice as close to me. I think he's haunting this place with me."
Taddel Aims High: Becoming a Successful Rapper
As the series progresses, viewers will see Taddel's struggles and aspirations. Disheartened by feeling unattractive to men due to her weight, Taddel entered into a same-sex marriage after she felt she had no other options. Following her separation and her father's passing, she lost nearly 50 kilograms and underwent aesthetic surgeries to remove excess skin. Today, she feels confident in her new body.
Currently relying on government assistance, Taddel dreams of making it big as a rapper, going by the moniker "TripSechsAcht" (the first two digits of Mannheim's postal code). She's publishing clips online, eager to make her mark. "I'm not there yet, but I'm running straight towards it. If I keep at it, it's going to be something really good," Taddel said with conviction.
Join Taddel on her journey, as "Hartz and Heartfelt" airs new episodes Monday-Friday, beginning at 6:05 PM on RTLZWEI, and on demand on RTL.
