It will haunt Katja Schuurman for a long time if she never gives an interview about it: the case against her ex-lover and father of her daughter Thijs Römer. “Tense atmosphere.”
Thijs Römer has been convicted of sexual offenses against underage girls and his ex-lovers Katja Schuurman and Igone de Jongh are also very much affected by this. It is a natural reflex that many people want to know what they think about it. A reporter from RTL Boulevard tried again yesterday.
cheers
Katja spoke to the show section on the set of her new film. Voice-over Jeroen Kijk in de Vegte: “That acting allows Katja to change her mind a bit after the intense time surrounding her ex Thijs Römer. A tough time for Katja, which she now seems to be putting behind her.”
When asked about it, the actress says: “I have just had a wonderful holiday with my daughter and things are going really well. Cheers.”
Press team
Katja had a huge press team around her, says Luuk Ikink at the desk. “Yes, she didn’t want to say anything about that for a moment and then she turns away. Of course she does that very smartly. She probably asked in advance like: ‘Hey, no personal questions.’”
He continues: “She passed that on to that press team, we dean, because that press team was gigantic. There were just a dozen people circling our reporters, constantly saying every few minutes that they really weren’t allowed to ask personal questions.”
Tense atmosphere
The press team for Katja’s new film, The Men’s Maker, was very keen to make her feel as comfortable as possible during the press tour. And that’s why they watched over her and there was a ban on sensitive questions.
Luuk: “They were a bit nervous about that, but in the end it wasn’t Katja’s fault, of course, but it was a bit of a tense atmosphere.”
