De Privé continues: for the second week in a row, Theo Maassen is on the cover. This time the weekly magazine comes with private emails from the humor hulk and a mistress who is angry with Johan Derksen.
Theo Maassen has completely fallen prey to the Privé of editor-in-chief Evert Santegoeds, and it seems rightly so. According to his wife Joyce, he broke her nose and an ex-girlfriend claims that he gave her a head wound. A former mistress of Theo, Mrs. Angela, has provided many pieces of evidence in private.
Emails from Theo
This Angela no longer wants to be seen as some kind of anonymous source and chooses to show her face in the latest Privé – which is available in stores from today: there is a large photo of her with the latest article about Theo. The headline? ‘This is how Theo Maassen fights against HIMSELF. Problems with women, fears and demons.’
It is difficult for Angela to see that Joyce does not report the crime and that Theo seems to get away with his alleged domestic violence. Well, seemed to come, because this second publication removes even more doubts: Angela shares private emails in which Theo admits, among other things, his dark side.
Malignant and sick
Joyce has had text contact with Theo’s mistress Angela for years (the 125,000-word chat that started the Private revelations), and when he discovered this, he wrote Angela a ferocious email. “Stop torturing Joyce with information, details and who knows what. It bothers her.”
Theo admits his dark side: “It is now clear what an evil and sick person I am. There is a reservoir of hatred that she can live with for the rest of her life.”
Apology email
In another email, Theo offers his ‘sincere apologies’. “I think I’ve been a bad person since I was a child. All the (justified) allegations from you (and Joyce) confirm something I have been fighting against all my life.”
All in all, it seems that Angela wants to take action against Johan Derksen by revealing this correspondence. He has stood up for Theo, whom he sees as the victim of ‘creep of a woman’ Sunny Bergman. She was asked by Angela to report Theo’s behavior to the VPRO. That also happened, but the broadcaster did nothing about it.
Angry at Johan
Angela is quite angry with Johan. “Mr. Derksen ignores far too easily the terrible hardships that Joyce and Theo’s ex-girlfriend Karin had to endure and the years of deception that many other women had to deal with. He can really get it the way he wants it. I won’t hide anymore.”
And Johan? That happened again last night Today Inside that he considers domestic violence to be a private matter: “I find it unpalatable when guys beat up women, but the problem is that his wife has not reported it, because it is shame, the children, the marriage perhaps, but I don’t think that we have to get involved.”
OM, not Private
Table guest Albert Verlinde does not think it is a private matter; According to him, someone like Theo cannot credibly interview someone about domestic violence in Zomergasten, as he did with Khadija Arib. “As a VPRO you can at least say: ‘Theo, let’s have a chat.’ It is very easy to say: ‘It is private.’”
Wilfred Genee agrees: “There are also all kinds of apps, of course, and they contain quite a few things.”
Albert: “Someone can also say: how can someone get away with it for years and no one says anything?”
Johan concludes: “I have no respect for guys with loose hands, but that is punishable, so you should go to the Public Prosecution Service and not to the Private.”
