Self-proclaimed “toy for adults”: Salomé Balthus is currently in Switzerland.

The annual meeting of the rich and powerful, the World Economic Forum (WEF), is currently in full swing in Davos GR. Lectures are given, discussions are held – and expensive bed sheets are rumpled with noble prostitutes until late at night. At least that’s what Salomé Balthus (39), a “toy for adults” and sex worker from Berlin, says.

But not everything is peace, joy, pancakes: “A date in Switzerland during the WEF means looking at the gun muzzles of security guards in the hotel corridor at two o’clock in the morning…” tweeted Balthus. I beg your pardon? She explains to Blick: “I wanted to go to my own hotel room when a security officer came up to me in the hallway with a gun at the ready.” However, the situation was quickly defused, according to the escort lady. “He noticed relatively quickly that no gun would fit under my negligee,” she joked just a few hours after the incident.
“… and then share the giveaway chocolates from the restaurant with them and gossip about the rich,” ends the tweet. “We had a great time,” Balthus said to Blick. “I also think that the security staff is bored at night.” In addition, it is the job of these men to protect the important international delegations staying in the same hotel – just as it is their job to entertain these same men at night.
She does not want to reveal who she met in the hotel restaurant for the date. «Discretion is part of my job. It would be like a priest breaking the seal of confession.” She is currently only in Davos for work, she explains. “I only catch a glimpse of all the hustle and bustle surrounding the WEF,” she says. “I even came by train to admire Switzerland’s beautiful model railway landscape.” She will stay in Switzerland until the end of the week – then she will be drawn back home.
Schawinski scandal and Weltwoche lawsuit
The prostitute from the German state capital gained notoriety in Switzerland through her notorious appearance on Roger Schawinski’s (77) SRF talk show. In April 2019 she was his guest. At the time, the conversation caused a stir. Shortly before the broadcast, Balthus wrote in her “Welt” column that he had asked her if her father had abused her as a child. What Schawinski complained to the “Welt” editors because he had not asked this question at all.
On the other hand, she is also known for her lawsuit against the “Weltwoche”. The newspaper is said to have published an article about her without her consent. She had “no interest” in an interview with the “Weltwoche”. Journalist Roman Zeller met the Berliner anyway. Private. He paid for the meeting – and wrote about it afterwards. Which, according to Balthus, was not agreed. The whole thing ended before the justice of the peace in Zurich.
