‘Normally I wouldn’t want to talk about family matters in public because these topics have no business being talked about online,’ the statement, released in a now deleted Instagram story, began.

‘Unfortunately my mother seems to be looking at this differently. It is now time to put an end to it: I just want to live my life in peace, [and] reach my goals without being asked about all the things my mother accuses me and my dad of.’

David went on to claim that his mum had suffered from ‘mental problems’ for ‘as long as I can remember’, telling a a worrying story from his childhood in the process.

The German also revealed: ‘When my parents divorced in 2015, my mother threatened me that if I didn’t live with her, she would destroy my life’s dream, meaning my dream of being a racing driver would be destroyed because, due to the custody of both parents, she would no longer sign the necessary documents.

‘Since she was not in the right mental state to care for me and I didn’t want to grow up in an environment where the only thing that mattered all day was what a bad person my father was, I simply didn’t want to be around her anymore. 

‘There was an incident where she wanted to take me away from my own father against my will and it got so out of control that we had to call the police as she was beating my father non-stop.’

‘The constant accusations against my father that he planted everything in my head and only speaks badly about her are not even remotely true,’

‘My father always did everything he could to ensure that I had a good relationship with my mother. For years, Dad repeatedly persuaded me to give her another chance. I always blocked it because I have no desire and no nerves to go through the same thing again – to awaken old memories and have the same experiences.

‘And the way she is behaving at the moment is an absolute disgrace: my parents have been divorced for 9 years now! Please leave us alone and let us live our lives – we’ll leave you alone too!’
