A striking development: just now that Albert Verlinde is making a talk show transfer from SBS 6 to RTL 4, his former Show News colleagues suddenly start to get rid of cats. “It was outrageous.”
Albert Verlinde made Humberto Tan knowingly black three years ago at the desk of Shownieuws. During an item about the abuse scandal around The Voice of Holland, he launched a fairly filthy gossip about the talk show host. “I know what I am saying and that’s why I say,” I know I’m dropping a bomb. “
Filthy working atmosphere
According to Albert, after the broadcasts of RTL Late Night, Humberto always contacted female table guests that he liked. He suggested that there was a filthy working atmosphere: “I know that people have left the program who said:” It seems like I’m more of a dating show here than a talk show. “
The so -called misconduct from Humberto were thrown in one heap by Albert with the abuse at The Voice by predators such as Jeroen Rietbergen. He called on RTL to attract research into The Voice, namely to all behaviors at RTL in the 2015/2016 period, so also that of Humberto.
Outright bullshit
Humberto found the claims and suggestions of Albert so bad that he reported. There was really no one who supported Alberts claims; Luuk Iink even called it outright bullshit. In the end, Albert was convicted of defamation and he had to pay a fine.
Now, all those years later, Albert is a regular guest in RTL Tonight, of which Humberto is one of the three presenters. Will that lead to unrest? Critics are already sorting for it.
“What do you do?!”
It is striking that Albert is suddenly wasted retroactively by his former colleagues at Shownieuws, where he made all those disputed statements about Humberto. “It was outrageous that what he did here,” Bart Ettekoven of the week already shouted in the show. And Guido den Attrekker: “Yes, and that was really very short after the Voice box opened.”
Private boss Evert Santegoeds is now also critical of Albert. He says in his podcast Strictly private: “That was the bomb that he dropped at Shownieuws then. I was opposite then and I thought: what the hell are you doing?”
Telephone number
Albert went way too far, says Evert. “He just said in the time that the entire voice riot was, that Humberto also had a hand to have bothered him for bothering him by app and intimate apps and so on. Well, Humberto responded from that:” I always sent all guests a thank you there. “
He continues: “That was a trick that he had previously copied from Barend & Van Dorp. They always asked for your telephone number because they wanted to call the next day. That way they always had the most current phone numbers for when they needed you again. Well, so Humberto did that too.”
Booklet
Albert’s interpretation went beyond all the limits, says Evert. “Albert has suggested that Humberto would also go on that hope of RTL stars who sometimes went beyond their book. Humberto was rightly very angry about that. It really came to a conviction. Albert also paid that fine.”
“It has never been known how high it is, but I remember that Albert then added:” I pay it, but I don’t agree. ” Yes, that does not give you a lot of regret of your statements and that it has penetrated how bad it was for Humberto.
