DWDD make-up artist Jelleke van Rijstaart is the former DWDD employee who has so far come forward most in the row about the misconduct of Matthijs van Nieuwkerk. After interviews at de Volkskrant and RTL Boulevard, she was seen the day before yesterday with an exclusive one-on-one interview at Beau van Erven Dorens. It elicited mixed reactions from viewers.

backstabber

Harry Vermeegen, the former presenter who now has an opinion channel, is one of the critics. “Jinek is good at nauseating television, but now there is one who thought to himself: but I can beat her! And there he is: Beau! What a dual personality he has.”

Beau is a real one backstabber, says Harry. “We are so kind and so empathetic and we have such an understanding of everything and meanwhile we are as annoying and mean as tomorrow all day. That’s Beau dear friends.”

Heels

It’s disgusting how Beau is chopping at Matthijs, Harry thinks. “Beau goes back to chopping it up for a while and there were all those good people again. There was again a whole table with deugies who think it’s all so terrible about the Matthijs. Only that Edwin Evers acted a bit normal.”

He continues: “Beau thought: you know, I’m also going to mess around in that case and serve Matthijs a little further and kick the ground, I’m going to make a nice interview with the make-up artist.”

Zum vomit

Beau can go on like this for a while, says Harry. “Why not the lady who also brought him the coffee or made him a sandwich? There are still hundreds of thousands of people who have something to say about Matthijs. No, we do the makeup artist! (…) It really wasn’t puking.”

“So that’s sickening TV, friends. That you are going to interview the make-up artist to make Matthijs even blacker than he already is. It just drives me crazy.”

What does Angela think?

Angela de Jong, the most important TV critic in the Netherlands, is a lot milder. She speaks of a traditional tipping point in riots like this. “At first, the majority of the public deeply sympathizes with the victims, but ‘they’ should not be in the media too much, because then ‘we’ will get tired of their story,” she writes in the AD.

Angela also thought the same for a moment when she saw the DWDD make-up artist, she confesses. “It was because of who she was and how she sat there. Just a normal hardworking mom who really isn’t looking for fame and hassle. (…) That look from Jelleke, everyone who supposedly gets tired of all the victim stories should see it.”
