Anouk shouts from the rooftops in the Flemish press that she thinks her former Voice colleague Marco Borsato is a bad pervert, but is that bash really that decent? “She didn’t even attend the hearing.”
The way in which Anouk expresses herself in the Flemish press about Marco Borsato is very outspoken. It seems that the singer hopes that her former Voice colleague will actually be convicted, but the way she tackles him goes very far, according to show experts such as Evert Santegoeds and Guido den Aantrekker.
Not in court
Telegraaf reporter Jordi Versteegden brings it up in the podcast Strictly Private. “I read through the rules that according to Anouk he is simply guilty. Judge Anouk. According to her, he should never have come close to such a girl as a 50-year-old man.”
Colleague Evert Santegoeds said: “Yes, if you look at it that way, she has a point. If you have been in court for two days and hear how it came to be this way, how the situation arose and went from bad to worse, then you have a little more understanding.”
Relieving
Evert looks at it differently. “On the day he went to that bedroom and saw that girl lying there naked, he should have turned around, but the first person who would say that with today’s knowledge is Marco Borsato himself. You can also think: according to the girl, nothing happened that day, so it is more exculpatory than incriminating.”
He continues: “I understand what Anouk says, but when you visit a family for so long, the boundaries sometimes become blurred. That is not right, but I actually understand how that happened.”
Unqualified
Story boss Guido den Aantrekker thinks that Anouk is very tough towards Marco. He thinks that the singer is mainly shouting on stage.
Finally, he says, at the desk Show news: “That is a perception and if you have not fully delved into the matter, I think it is a bit unqualified.”
