Inappropiate ads
I won't click on the ads so I don't have any more information for King to report.
And there is no in-game option to report a specific ad.
But wow!
I'm an adult and find those ads extremely inappropriate.
I wouldn't want any children to see them.
What is wrong with you, King?
Candy Crush Friends btw. which makes it much more likely for children to be exposed to those ads.
The pictures are clearly fake and I don't know what the ads are for.
Content warning!

Hi and Welcome to the King Community
Sorry to hear about this experience from an ad in our game.
All ads are provided by a third party company that that adjusts the ads to your web history and algorithms. The same way as you get personalized ads on some search engine sites and social media platforms.
We do filter all ads though so no inappropriate or fraudulent content will show in the game.
Therefore we would appreciate if you could report this to our Player Support HERE so they can make sure the ads from the company in question will get blocked in the game.

I have no more information about these ads than what you see on the uploaded screenshots.
I have no URL, name of the ad provider or anything else for King to investigate.
Unless there's an in-game option to report, I have nothing tangible to report and the report form won't even allow me to upload any screenshots.
It's the first time these ads were shown to me anywhere and while I appreciate they're only 5 seconds, they cannot be allowed to be shown to anyone.
I know you have no way to really help me, but is there any way you could make King aware to implement an in-game report and block option for ads?1 -
I am curious as to what these ads are for to be honest. I know some of these celebrities and the images are so obviously nonsense and fake that it could be meant as a form of satire. I just wonder. Have you ever followed the link?

Never followed the link. I don't want to reward the ad provider and I don't want to suggest my interest in more ads like these.
Other than Günther Jauch (the famous host of the german version of who wants to be a millionaire) the persons shown are Annalena Baerbock (our minister of foreign affairs) and Sahra Wagenknecht (politician).
I've tried to find out more without following the link but I couldn't find anything.1 -
Yes, I recognised Jauch and Baerbock. I agree they are unpleasant images and I would be hesitant to follow those links myself. I wouldn't want to suggest you do. I guess there is not much you can do in that case, I hope they won't come back.
