Minouche van der Gijp, the wife of René van der Gijp, thinks it is very unfair that Angela de Jong has written such a critical column about the begging actor Marcel Musters. “Not shameless.”
Marcel Musters (66), known for hit series such as Penoza and Gooische Vrouwen, has not been able to work in recent years due to physical and mental problems and has therefore built up debts. On Tuesday he made a spontaneous appeal on Instagram to his 14,000 followers to all give 1 euro and within a day he will be debt-free.
Shameless
Angela de Jong thinks it is remarkable. “It’s only one euro. Anyone can miss it. So why not? Yes, good question. Maybe because it’s all too vague for me. Too easy too,” she writes in the A.D.
“Too bold and shameless to do this for yourself. He can do this with his more or less well-known face, an anonymous mother from the benefits scandal cannot, while she may need it three times more.”
New trend
Angela fears that we will see this more often now. “I hope it is not the start of a new trend among celebrities. Because what is next? Ali B who is going to ask us to help his family, who cannot do anything about the fact that he has to go to prison? After all, it is only one euro. Please say.”
René van der Gijp’s wife, Minouche, finds this all very hard. “I always enjoy reading Angela’s columns, but I don’t agree with this one,” she writes on Instagram.
Buttocks exposed
Minouche supports Marcel. “How nice can it be that you can help someone? With a euro. For those who can spare it, of course! I don’t know this man, not even well as an actor, but I think it’s cool that he exposes his buttocks. Don’t forget that being in debt is often accompanied by a lot of shame…”
She continues: “And especially when you put your head on TV. So no, it is not shameless. And not brutal either. It is a cry for help because you can no longer find a solution yourself.”
