The investor Judith Williams takes a break from the start-up show “The Lion’s Den”. The 51-year-old wants to spend more time with her mother, who has cancer. There is no “better reason” to pause, writes Williams on Instagram.
Judith Williams will pause as an investor in the VOX founder show “Die Höhle der Löwen”. The entrepreneur announced this in a lengthy Instagram post, in which she also revealed the family reason: “Is there a better reason to take a break from ‘DHDL’ than to be there for your mother side by side? From mine not sight.”
The 51-year-old, who had to mourn her father’s Alzheimer’s disease last January, continues: “We all fought so hard for mom and had to say goodbye to dad at the same time. And then you make peace and know it was his time. Moms It’s not time yet. (…) We’re going down a path that many have to go, the fight with cancer. We look into each other’s eyes without words, we’re a team.” Addressing her mother, she writes: “My sisters and I, we are there for you with the greatest love, mom, now and always. It looks good and we enjoy every hour that we hear your wise and loving voice.”
VOX has already confirmed Williams’ break due to her mother’s cancer. According to vox.de, the TV lioness is not in the current shooting for seasons 14 and 15 (broadcast in autumn 2023/spring 2024). In the spring of 2023, the 13th season of “The Lion’s Den”, in which Williams is still involved, is scheduled to start.
A week ago, former racing driver Nico Rosberg announced a break in “The Lion’s Den”. The ex-Formula 1 star also explained the reason on Instagram: “I really want to concentrate fully on the many national and international start-ups in which we are already invested.”
A VOX spokeswoman said: “We thank Nico Rosberg for five great seasons of ‘Die Höhle der Löwen’ and wish him every success in his upcoming projects.” She leaves a return open. “And who knows: once a lion, always a lion – maybe he’ll join the lion pack again in one of the following seasons.”
