It shouldn’t get any crazier: Nicol Kremers breaks the silence and suddenly agrees that something has happened between her and her beloved Peter Gillis. “Where there’s smoke, there is fire.”

It must have gone completely wrong on May 29 between Peter Gillis and his girlfriend Nicol Kremers. According to the Public Prosecution Service, he was well off track on that spring day. He would have bitten her in the nose and in her back. There seems to be a 112 tape with a panicked Nicol, but in the end she decided not to file a report.

Nothing wrong?

Report or not: the Public Prosecution Service considers the case so serious that it will prosecute. But how is it possible that Nicol suddenly acts as if nothing is wrong? She is now making herself heard for the first time in a very extensive video interview with journalist Andries Jelle de Jong.

Nicol explains: “The first reaction when you receive a phone call from Shownieuws is: ‘We don’t know anything about anything.’ I don’t want to say anything more about that. We’re working on that with the lawyer and that’s basically it. We’re still working on it and I’m definitely not going to harm that process by saying anything about it. I can’t say anything yet and I won’t.”

‘Where there’s smoke, there is fire’

Her interviewer Andries said: “Well, something must have happened, because it is often ‘where there is smoke, there is fire’… There is always something going on…”

Curiously, Nicol agrees without batting an eyelid: “Yes.”

Andries: “Of course people would like to know what exactly. Are you ever going to say anything about that?”

Nicol: “Someday we will come out with a story about that. We’ll do that one more time. When the story is complete, we will make another statement about it.”

Negative things

According to Nicol, it’s all negativity. “We’ve had so many negative things… I just don’t read it. I don’t read it, I don’t look at it and just put it down next to me. Then I think: it will be fine, I will just continue with my life and what the rest of it thinks and does and writes, they should all know for themselves.”

“As long as it hasn’t come out of my or Peter’s mouth, then it’s all fine what they write.”
