Jack van Gelder will never watch Beau van Erven Dorens’ programs anymore, because he is completely done with the RTL 4-star. “He once gave a platform to someone.”
Two years ago, Aïcha Marghadi attracted a lot of attention from the media with her story about Jack van Gelder. The presenter is said to have behaved inappropriately during their time at NOS Sport, namely by asking her to take a bath. A joke, he says. Cross-border, she says. At one point Aïcha told her story at the table with Beau van Erven Dorens.
Surrogate mother
Precisely that interview, in which Aïcha was given space to hint at more dirt about Jack, made him decide never to look at Beau again. And yet he wanted to go in last night The Orange Winter discuss an excerpt from Beau’s program, in which Rob Jetten says that he is looking for a surrogate mother.
Hélène Hendriks puts it to Jack: “You were a bit surprised by Rob Jetten’s statements. You looked at Casa di Beau.”
‘I’m not looking’
Jack then makes it very clear that he did not look himself. “No, I don’t… No, I don’t look at Beau anymore, but…”
Hélène: “Why not?”
Jack: “Oh, that’s not why.”
Hélène: “No, you have to explain that.”
Jack: “Well, she once gave a platform to a lady who thought she should destroy me and in the end it turned out that none of that was true, and she was only allowed to sit at the table with a tissue. Beau talked her way all the way.”
‘Not allowed’
Hélène then makes it clear to the viewers who this is about. “Aïcha you mean.”
Jack: “Yes, so I don’t watch that anymore, although I think it’s a good program maker, that’s not the point. But I read that Rob Jetten was one of his guests and that he had said that he and his friend would like to have a surrogate mother, but that it is not legally allowed if you announce it in such a way through the media.”
Khalid & Sophie
Back to Aïcha Marghadi: she consciously chose Beau at the time, even though she had already been invited by Khalid & Sophie. “And who was at the table two days later? Tom Egbers. He was given every opportunity to call me and other women liars. A little later, Jack van Gelder was also complaining to HLF8 about how hard it was for him.”
That was the final straw for her, she said earlier. “I called RTL Laat, with whom I had good contact before, and said: ‘Just tell me where and when, I will come.’ I was so fed up with the victim role that these types of men adopt.”
