Despite his acquittal, Wilfred Genee continues to have doubts about Marco Borsato. He believes that the folk singer has sent seriously inappropriate messages. “You wouldn’t say that to a 14-year-old girl, would you?”
There are people who believe that Marco Borsato can simply make his musical comeback now that he has been acquitted in the abuse case against him, but there are also critics who are definitely turned off by him. Acquittal or not: things came out during the trial that people like Angela de Jong still blame him for.
Weird apps
Wilfred Genee, who has a lot of influence on public opinion with his program Today Inside, is in the same camp as Angela. “Of course it remains strange,” he says at the table the talk show on SBS 6.
“He has been acquitted, but those texts are still there. That you tell a 14-year-old girl to go and pleasure herself, that you walk upstairs to a room. That’s not normal, is it?”
Not proud of it
Johan Derksen thinks that those apps also go far. “No, those are things you are not proud of.”
Table guest Albert Verlinde: “No, but I think that if someone has been acquitted…”
René van der Gijp also knows that Marco has been acquitted: “But that is separate from what he says, I think.”
Wilfred: “You don’t do that, do you? That’s not okay, is it?”
“He liked it!”
René believes that Marco should have taken responsibility. “Johan, everyone shouts about Marco Borsato: ‘Why didn’t he leave that family straight away?’ Because he liked it! And exciting. And different.”
Johan concludes jokingly: “If you have an acquaintance who is touching her bare ass, then you would go there for coffee, wouldn’t you?!”
