John van den Heuvel is by far Marco Borsato’s biggest critic. The singer denies that he committed fornication with an underage girl, but John does not believe that. “Liar!”
The ties between John van den Heuvel and the camp that is litigating against Marco Borsato are strong. Very big. He even explained to his complainant A. how she can best report the singer. For years, the crime journalist has been saying in the media that a conviction is imminent, but now that Marco has given his rebuttal after years, John is very pissed off.
Zero self-reflection
John is completely annoyed by Marco. “Does Borsato really think that a woman who served as a kind of PA for him for years and apparently had far too free sexual morals, is responsible for his behavior towards her daughter?” he exclaims in annoyance in the latest Weekend.
He continues: “I find it transgressive what Borsato’s defense was based on victim blaming of unprecedented scale. There was zero self-reflection in his answers.”
White swan
The picture Marco paints is very damaging, John believes. “In fact, it means that he spent years in a house full of Sodom and Gomorrah, but after all those years he sees himself as a white swan who at most caressed and caressed. After this display, no victim will dare to report abuse.”
He continues: “Many people have a blind adoration for Borsato, who in my opinion is allowed to lie without hindrance. After all, as a suspect you do not have to cooperate in a conviction.”
Little lie
The complainant must tell the truth, according to John. “A lie can even be punishable. Fortunately, it is not Borsato’s entourage or his fans who decide on guilt or innocence. Those are the judges, and they are not to be envied here.”
He concludes: “However, I have every confidence that justice will be served.”
