André Hazes Jr. does not want to say anything in front of the Shownieuws camera about the melancholic Christmas prank that his mother Rachel Hazes played on him. “Perhaps at the behest of his lawyers.”
Things never seemed to improve with André Hazes Jr.’s image, but he and the masses now have a common enemy: his mother Rachel Hazes. And that creates a bond. Many people sympathized with him when she decided to have a summons delivered to him on Christmas Eve: really terribly cold.
In front of the camera
Last night André stood in front of a camera for the first time again, namely that of Shownieuws. He spoke to them to promote their new program together with Mart Hoogkamer. “Bart, now that we had André in front of the camera, there are of course some things we want to know about him,” said presenter Dyantha Brooks.
Show expert Bart Ettekoven then: “Yes, but it was said in advance: ‘We are not going to talk about all the situations surrounding his mother.’ The summons was of course received on December 24 and everyone naturally wants to know how he received it.”
Completely crazy
Celebrity photographer William Rutten understands that André does not want to say anything about that. “We understand that, right? It would drive me crazy if everyone started talking about my mother every time.”
Bart: “I also think perhaps that it is at the behest of his lawyers and that they may advise him not to say too much about it yet. Before you know it, you’re saying things that can be used against you later.”
Emphatic
Dyantha finds it striking, because André shared the news about the summons himself. “He himself has been open about it. He did let us know on Christmas Eve how that happened to him.”
Bart: “Yes, he brought it out into the world himself, but he didn’t want to talk about that and that was also stated emphatically during the interview, before we interviewed him.”
