It is really so painful for Linda de Mol: for years she was supposedly the TV queen of our country and not a lackey at the Media Park who says that your guy is cheating. And everyone knew it!
Jeroen Rietbergen, the former bandleader of The Voice of Holland who is being prosecuted for rape but is now back in bed with Linda de Mol, has had the reputation of being a bad guy for some time. It is not without reason that, according to the men of Today Inside, he has been called ‘Dirty Jeroentje’ for years.
Cheater
The big question is: did Linda know that she was being so deceived by her guy? Or was everyone saying that behind her back and it was never even said to her face? Then she was apparently laughed at very loudly by all her colleagues at the Media Park. Anouk now also admits that she had known about the rumors about Jeroen for a long time.
Anouk tells in the magazine &C: “The only thing I had heard – years ago, when I didn’t know Jeroen at all – was that he was a flirt and always cheated. But I hear so many things. People also hear things about me that aren’t true at all, so I don’t blindly accept everything I hear through the grapevine.”
Called Ali
After the Voice scandal emerged, Anouk immediately called what many consider to be the biggest pervert: Ali B. “Yes, he said it was with mutual consent. I wasn’t there, so I really don’t know what happened. But look, it would never occur to me to visit a candidate at night or invite him to the studio.”
Did she ever speak to Ali again? “Sometimes I still get a text. I just react calmly to that, because I simply don’t know what happened. It is not that I doubt the other person, but I also do not want to draw conclusions prematurely.”
Much milder
Hey, Anouk suddenly seems a lot more mellow than she was back then. “I especially hope that this case makes some progress. For both parties, because it is taking a very long time now. And I must honestly say: I am very curious.”
Does she miss The Voice? “Yes, quite a bit. I laughed a lot there. Even though people think I never laugh – because it is often cut out – I had a lot of fun there, with Kees (de Koning, ed.) and also with Ali.”
Looking forward to Glennis
Anouk was already ready to take a seat in those rotating chairs again. “I was really looking forward to that last season, Glennis did well, I had nice people in my team. And then it all changed.”
She concludes: “I didn’t expect to miss it so much.”
