While Bas Smit, according to critics, cannot deal with criticism, his wife Nicolette van Dam is a lot better at it. She says she has no problem with that at all. “That’s part of it!”
According to Private star journalist Jan Uriot, it is evident that Bas Smit’s resilience is not very great. Just before the turn of the year, he became quite irritated in front of De Telegraaf’s camera and, according to Yvonne Coldeweijer, became ‘hot, really f * cking angry’ after a tease from media journalist Mark Koster.
‘That’s part of it’
Fortunately, his wife Nicolette van Dam’s resilience is in order. She is asked about it in the Weekend. “Bas and you are now under a huge magnifying glass. How do you deal with the criticism you receive?
Nicolette responds very sportingly to that. “That’s part of it. You know: if you do something and you become known, then you are under a magnifying glass. I was eighteen when I first stood here in Pathé Tuschinski, which is now 20 years ago. So at a certain point you know: that is part of it.”
‘Everything continues’
Looks like Nicolette is very down to earth about it. She seems to realize that tall trees catch a lot of wind. She prefers to concentrate on the things that are fun. So it’s the weekend again tonight, but: ′′ Actually, everything with us always continues in terms of work. In any case, on Friday evenings and at the weekend in the brasserie.”
When Bas and Nicolette have some time for themselves on Saturday, they go ‘shopping for groceries in the morning and get tasty things for the weekend’. “If Bas and I don’t have to work on Saturday evening, we always have a toast evening with a nice glass of wine. Then we sit on the floor, around the small table.”
