Public accusations concerning sexuality, sexism and sect-like structures
ZEGG faced strong public criticism over its sexual orientation, its relationship to ideas associated with Dieter Duhm, and allegations that the community was authoritarian, sexist or cult-like. Jutta Ditfurth was among the sharpest critics and connected the controversy to claims concerning the handling of sexual violence and child abuse. The allegations were contested by ZEGG.
