Hanna Lakomy

Klara Johanna "Hanna" Lakomy (born 28 February 1984, East Berlin),[1] also known as Salomé Balthus is a German prostitute, entrepreneur, columnist and writer.

During her studies she published texts under Klara Lakomy in the magazines Edit [de][5] and Utopie kreativ,[6] worked as a nude model[7] and from 2010 as a prostitute under the pseudonym Salomé Balthus.

[9] From August 2018 to April 2019, she wrote the online column Das Kanarienvögelchen for Die Welt, also under her pseudonym Salomé Balthus, about sociopolitical issues from the perspective of a prostitute.

[19] Welt editor-in-chief Ulf Poschardt then ended Lakomy's column and apologized to Schawinski, which led to a public controversy in German and Swiss media, also in the context of the #MeToo movement.

[20][21] According to Lakomy, Don Alphonso announced that she would continue her work for the Welt as co-author of his blog column Stützen der Gesellschaft (Supporting Society).
