What a megadomper for RTL 4: Ali B’s appeal is resumed in the exact same period in which the great return of The Voice of Holland takes place. “Four dates have been reserved.”
Peter van der Vorst, the television boss of RTL, probably thrown his bowl of chips against the television last night when he was watching the new late talk show of NPO 1. Lawyer Sébas Diekstra unveiled in Good evening Netherlands When the appeal against former the Voice of Holland coach Ali B is resumed.
Nightmare
Peter’s biggest nightmare becomes truth: the media circus around Ali B starts in Exáct the same month as in which RTL has planned the big comeback of The Voice of Holland, namely January 2026. What a timing.
Sébas assists one of the victims of Ali B, namely Jill Helena, and was asked to keep a number of dates free in his agenda. “If all goes well, the case will continue next year: 22, 26, 27 and 29 January. Those data are just as globally reserved.”
“Finally ready!”
It is hoping for Jill that Ali will then irrevocably go up. “Well, you had my client in the studio a while ago at Goedemorgen Nederland and he wants that case to be ready once, so the hope is that then that case will finally be completed once and that it will not be a dragging …”
Another guest breaks in and asks if the process will really take four days. Sébas says: “Four dates were reserved. Of course it took a very long time last time before the substantive treatment was ready.”
Appeal
Ali has been sentenced to two years in prison and that could be more on appeal. “The Public Prosecution Service also appealed in her case, because he was acquitted for that. The court said in short:” We find your story reliable, but we don’t have enough support to come to a conviction. “
“And the OM says:” We already thought so, and we will continue to appeal. ” So her case is included in the appeal and she may speak during the session if she wants, but that is her role.
Great drama
TV authority Tina Nijkamp said earlier that it would be a great publicity drama for RTL 4 if the Voice-Comeback and the Ali B process were to coincide. “Of course, RTL 4 will never and never start at the same time when that lawsuit runs. They really don’t do that.”
RTL 4 will probably broadcast something else in January and February on Friday evening, she then predicted. “For example, such Only Joling could be very good for that. That is easy to use and you don’t have to make twelve episodes of it immediately.”
