Linda de Mol is receiving quite a slap from GeenStijl now that she is officially back in bed with Jeroen Rietbergen. ‘Linda de Mol and Roofdier Rietbergen together again’, is their headline.
We have known it for years, but now Linda de Mol has also made it official: she is in a relationship with Jeroen Rietbergen again. During the Voice scandal he was exposed as ‘Dirty Jeroentje’ and Linda broke up and square public her relationship with the musician, but it soon seemed that that was mainly for the stage. Part of a PR tactic.
Conscious strategy
Jeroen has been in therapy, probably at Linda’s expense, and the initial intention would have been for those sessions to become the public excuse for their love reunion. However, they were caught sooner than intended and that caused indignant reactions, after which Linda only retreated even more into her shell.
Why is Linda announcing the news about her love reunion now? Also PR, says image expert Zabeth van Veen. “Because Miljoenenjacht and Gooische Vrouwen are a hit, Linda is back in the saddle with the public,” she says in The Telegraph. “That’s why she could now more easily confirm her relationship with Jeroen.”
Slip-wearers
Linda’s love reunion with someone who may still be prosecuted for rape – an Article 12 procedure is still underway – is commented on in a remarkably mild manner in the show media. Luuk Ikink mentioned this procedure yesterday with the greatest possible reluctance in RTL Boulevard, where criticism of Linda is in principle no longer allowed.
Gossip talk presenter Jan Roos X: “Linda de Mol has been with ‘dirty Jeroentje’ again for at least a year. And now that Linda has decided that it is news, it is suddenly also news for the mainstream media. They are simply nothing more than panhandlers.”
Wedding
Of course Jan has a point there. Evert Santegoeds is especially bad — he is able to tour Crailo with a brass band. In fact, they are looking forward to it page Private already talking about a possible wedding. “Will the reconciliation now even be followed by a marriage?”
Who doesn’t participate in the Linda fanfare? The ever critical opinion site NoStyle. ‘Linda de Mol and Roofdier Rietbergen together again’, is their headline. “Private is private and all that, but with such big pants on, and if your guy is such a little bastard, then you can go around.”
Predator
Linda had an impeccable image for years, but is now continuously confronted with her guy’s dirty behavior, as is now the case on GeenStijl. “Predator Rietbergen is the man against whom NINETEEN WOMEN reported inappropriate behavior,” the blog repeats once again.
“The man who (…) sent a photo of his cock to candidates, told candidates not to dress so ‘hot’ this time because otherwise he would ‘jump’ them, asked if he could ‘feel ‘, asked how they had shaved ‘down there’ and said to a seventeen-year-old girl, after telling her age: ‘Oh, you don’t feel anything.’”
Jerk-off bear
GeenStijl thinks it’s bizarre that Linda wants to be associated with that. “Linda de Mol must know for herself that she likes to sit on the lap of an over-excited, over-sexed jerk-off who exploited his position of power at a talent show by abusing young candidates.”
“But this is a signal, after all those statements, reports, studies and that cool bullshit from the capo di tutti capi about ‘hitting someone in the mouth’. When the tip of Linda de Mol’s tongue reaches Jeroen Rietbergen’s post, all is forgiven and forgotten. Everyone deserves a twentieth chance!”
