Because of her apparent love reunion with Jeroen Rietbergen, Linda de Mol is severely beaten down by RTL Boulevard, the country’s most viewed show section. “She must be honest!”
RTL Boulevard face Rob Goossens notices that many people find it difficult that Linda de Mol is just having a nice holiday with Jeroen Rietbergen again. For a long time, the TV queen pretended that her relationship with the former bandleader of The Voice was over, but it turns out that they have been secretly traveling the world for months.
‘Be honest!’
The fact that Linda has now been caught in Paris does not work in her favor, according to Rob. He says in last night’s RTL Boulevard opener: “As Linda de Mol, you have to be honest, because if you look at how she has communicated since the BOOS broadcast, her story has always been wobbly.”
He continues in the show section: “In the beginning she said that she knew about Jeroen, he confessed and he was in therapy for it, later it turned out that it was more convenient for the De Mol family to say that they knew nothing at all and now she says suddenly nothing at all about the fact that she confessed that then.”
Dirty Ali
Rob also delicately reminds the viewers of Boulevard that Linda has always remained vague about her prior knowledge in the Ali B file. “People had already come to Linda about Ali B. Later she said: ‘Yes, I knew then of Ali B that he was a pervert’, but that had nothing to do with The Voice.”
And now Linda is lying and twisting again about her relationship with Jeroen, according to Rob. “So now we see how long that car has been parked in front of her door, that you think: this is a very strange place to walk your non-existent dog, but then she herself says: ‘No, we see each other occasionally in therapy and are now in Paris was sorting it out.’”
Crazy story
It doesn’t make Linda any more popular, says Rob. “It’s just a crazy story all in all and that’s fine, it just doesn’t make her very credible and that credibility is very important if you want to be liked.”
Rob also fears that Jeroen will not be prosecuted; prosecution is always difficult in such cases. “There is just a good chance that he will not be prosecuted, then he will actually have his whole old life back and the victims are still on the blisters. What is the price that Jeroen pays for his reprehensible behavior?”
Bank balance
It is of course true that Jeroen has seen his career fail. “Yes, but he is with a woman with a bank balance of 25 million at home.”
