Anniko van Santen hasn’t thrown her ‘wrong’ guy Remco van Leen in the trash after all. In fact, she speaks extremely fondly of him. “I love that man very much.”
It was quite a shock at the beginning of this year: Remco van Leen, the husband of the presenter of Opsporing Verzocht, was suspended as TV boss of the NPO due to alleged misconduct. “Dozens of women have indicated that they have been groped, assaulted and sexually intimidated by Remco,” Yvonne Coldeweijer said.
Away from NPO
Remco quietly resigned from the NPO last month. The report into his alleged misconduct has been completed, but the general public will not see it. “The facts of the investigation do not prevent a return to the NPO. Yet he chooses to leave the NPO,” a spokesperson for the public broadcaster claimed.
Apparently there is something in that report, because NPO boss Frederieke Leeflang said: “I appreciate that he has made this decision and wish him all the best for the future.”
Why would you appreciate it when there is no jerk going on?
Parting
For a moment it seemed that Opsporing Verzocht presenter Anniko van Santen had thrown her ‘wrong’ guy in the garbage, because Story reported in the summer that she had thrown him out of their house. “I’m not going to tell you what’s going on between us,” she told the magazine. “I saw Remco this morning and wished him a happy birthday.”
Story also discovered that they were no longer registered at the same residential address: “While Remco’s postal address is in a building in the center of Amsterdam, Anniko is still registered at the address of their family home purchased in 2020. In the past, the two were registered at the same address.”
‘I love him!’
Perhaps they have chosen a different form together, because now Anniko denies again that she threw her wedding ring in the ditch. “She previously did not wish to respond to questions about what the accusations about Remco’s inappropriate behavior meant for their marriage,” can be read in the latest Story.
Now she does. Anniko: “I am still married to Remco, he is my husband. I love that man very much.”
