Linda de Mol is publicly reprimanded for the first time by an SBS 6 colleague for her love reunion with Jeroen Rietbergen. “Shouldn’t you be scratching the back of your head?”
She could have saved her own career and image by definitively distancing herself from Jeroen Rietbergen, but nothing could be further from the truth: Linda de Mol lives again with the man who is being prosecuted for rape. She still has a lot of fans, but there are also a lot of people who feel at least some discomfort about this.
Erica doesn’t understand Linda
The SBS 6 stars are silent as the grave, except for Erica Meiland. She doesn’t think it’s really appropriate that Linda is already in bed with Jeroen. “Were they spotted in Paris. I do not understand that. If the Public Prosecution Service also thinks they have a case, shouldn’t you scratch the back of your head and wait and see? Party.
She continues: “They have been together for fifteen years, he must have done good things too, but with me my image of such a person would change and then the love would disappear. I would look at it very differently. Then it’s just over. You can’t fall for it, can you, for a man who acts like that? Isn’t that attractive?”
Naughty Jeroen
There are more celebrities women who really take everything from their guy, think of Bibi Breijman and Monique Westenberg. Is Linda perhaps one of those types? “Yes, then they may have other motives. If they think: then he won’t bother me and I will have that and that,” says Erica.
Still, Linda doesn’t seem to need to make any concessions at all. “I don’t know either, she has a nice house, enough money, a magazine, then you’re not waiting for naughty Jeroen, are you? That daughter of hers (Noa Vahle, ed.) was also pleased with him, he must have been a very nice bonus father. That’s why it’s difficult.”
Black and white
It is never black and white, Erica also realizes. “It will be quite difficult. Being alone may be less fun, but then you’re done with it. I wouldn’t want to lie in bed with it or sit at the table with it. What happened would always be in the back of my mind.”
It is quite spicy that Linda is criticized for the first time from within her own camp. It is inevitable that behind the scenes there has been plenty of gossip about this love reunion, but everyone at SBS 6 realizes all too well that Linda’s brother is in charge there. And unwelcome opinions are not welcome.
Rotating Evert
The only other SBS 6 star who was critical of a love reunion between Linda and Jeroen was Shownieuws face Evert Santegoeds, but that was before their reunion.
Evert called out in December that he is cannot imagine that Linda would ever forgive Jeroen: “No, I don’t think so. That would be very bad for her image. (…) I can’t imagine Linda saying: ‘I’ll give up everything and I’ll continue with Jeroen.’ (…) No, it’s just over.”
Once that love reunion was a fact, we never heard from Evert again… Crazy!
