Jeroen van der Boom and Patty Brard are seen as A-stars, but at the end of last year they lost their exclusive contract with SBS 6. “Whether we still on speaking terms are?”
51-year-old Jeroen van der Boom always pretends to be a big deal with John de Mol (68). According to the singer, they even played together. But isn’t it a bit strange that he, like Patty Brard, lost his exclusive, lucrative contract with Talpa last year? The reason being that he felt like he was in some sort of straitjacket?
On speaking terms?
Jeroen is now shouting everywhere in the media that he was barely given breathing space by Talpa (read: John de Mol). According to him, he even had to ask permission if he wanted to visit Eva Jinek. If you are such good friends with the boss, then you can make some agreements about that, right?
So there seems to be more going on. Did he close the gates on John and his team? “We are still on speaking terms,” he claims Weekend. “My exclusivity at SBS is gone because I couldn’t do things like The Masked Singer for RTL, and exclusivity is no longer a thing now.”
Piano show
One thing makes a difference: now that Jeroen has left SBS 6, we no longer have to watch those uncomfortable fragments in which he climaxes a celebrity into heaven from his piano stool. Oh, wait a minute. “I am working on a new program around the piano. Hopefully that will be broadcast in October.”
Purely because he likes it; Jeroen no longer has to do it for the money. What does he do with all those millions? “I invest and I really hope that the young generation realizes that there is much more than what it is now. And that it is not always about money, but rather about hard work. I’ve always done that. And I will continue to communicate openly with everyone.”
