Evert Sanwaarden has mixed feelings about Rachel Hazes talking so extensively about her suicide attempt in the Nieuwe Revu. “When we wrote it at the time, she started summary proceedings.”
Rachel Hazes is wearing New Revue gave a big interview about her suicide attempt years ago. She tells about it in detail. “I have it all planned. Wrote a suicide note. I bought a knife weeks in advance,” she explains, for example. “The bucket was full.”
Evert critical
Private boss Evert Sankrediets finds it striking that Rachel is now so candid. “Now it is, because when we wrote it at the time, she denied it and she even started summary proceedings and we had to rectify it, because I didn’t want to say who I got it from. She now thinks differently and is candid about it,” he says Show news†
Albert Verlinde, who has a good relationship with Rachel, responds: “Yes, but I find it understandable, because it is a kind of story that you basically want to tell yourself, especially if she says she has kept it hidden and also later told her children. Then you have your own pattern that makes you think: I don’t want to tell you until I’m ready.”
Lawsuit
Evert: “But denying it and starting a lawsuit is something else.”
Albert: “I really thought about it, because you just said it. So you don’t want to tell it and if you don’t file a lawsuit, you have to talk about it while you are not ready yet. The only response of ‘I don’t want to talk about it’ is this.”
Tooske Ragas: “But why now and why with this Andries?”
Evert cynically: “Because the book is coming.”
Albert: “No, that book will take a while.”
