Dirk Zeelenberg denies that he sexually assaulted a woman in the backseat of his car. This Jet van der G. says he has filed a report, while he also went to the police.
An incredible PR disaster for Dirk Zeelenberg, known to the general public from the former Linda de Mol series Divorce and currently active as the most successful wedding registrar in our country. A certain Jet van der G. accuses him in the program GossipTalkwhere she is called Rajeswari, of sexual abuse in the backseat of his car.
To Dirk’s car
Jet, who has now taken her Instagram offline, invited Dirk as a speaker during her parents’ wedding party last Sunday. He also completed that job, but something went wrong during the preparation. “We had text message contact for a while and then he wanted to meet up to talk about the assignment,” she explains.
The atmosphere quickly changed, this Jet believes. “At one point in the conversation he turned around and started asking all kinds of sexual questions, asking if I wanted to go to the toilet with him and do things there. He asked: ‘Aren’t you gay?’ I said, ‘No, I’m not.’ Then he said, “Well, that’s where my car is.” Yes, fine.”
‘We drove away’
Jet decided to join us. “Then he had to go to the toilet first and then I had to wait again. Well, fine. And then we actually drove away. Then he suddenly stopped somewhere along the road and then he started talking about cuddling. I thought: what do you mean? I don’t feel like it anyway. I said: ‘Yes, maybe, just not with you.'”
“Then he said, ‘We’re going to take a back seat.’ I said, ‘Why do I have to sit in the backseat?’ At one point he said quite dominantly, a bit forcefully: ‘Now you are going to sit in the backseat.’ “What if I don’t do it?” I said then. “Yes, then I’ll give you back the assignment.” I thought: shit, I’d like to give that to my parents.”
Under duress
Ultimately, Jet sat in the backseat, she says. “Yes, a bit under duress, and then I had to do all kinds of things. ‘Kiss me first,’ he said. Then I thought: yes, okay, why do I have to do all that? Then he kissed me because I refused. Then he said all kinds of things like: ‘You’re giving me a piece of my mind.’”
She continues: “Then he took my hand and he brought it to his crotch and then I had to do all kinds of things. I had to grab him there. He said: ‘Grab my p*k.’ Then I thought: well, does it have to be this way? (…) Yes, I grabbed that one. (…) Yes, and then it came. Then he said, ‘What have I done?’ Then I thought: yes, your fault.”
Imprisonment
Jet says he moved Dirk’s member ‘up and down’. She has now reported this. “Yes, that’s right. Yes, of sexual assault. I don’t sleep well and I keep seeing those images of what happened. Every Range Rover I see passing by…”
Does she want a prison sentence for the actor? “Yes, I would appreciate that.”
Jet shares all kinds of details, for example in which hand she held Dirk’s member (“in both, because at one point my right hand got tired”) and whether he is well-endowed. “No, he is small.”
Dirk responds
Dirk himself responds by telephone in RoddelPraat. “Look, the situation is: I did a speaking job there last Sunday. Then something about sexual assault seems a bit strange to me. You can figure that out yourself, I think,” he says.
Presenter Dennis Schouten: “No, that was before. She just explained the whole story. In the backseat of a car. She sent all kinds of things, we have been in contact with her for some time.”
Dirk: “Okay, well, that’s fine, right? I’ll just give you the number of my lawyer and he will contact you, yes?”
Apps
Dennis shows little interest. “We are not going to do anything with that, because we are speaking to her and you. Such a lawyer can send an email, but that is not of much use to us personally.”
Dirk: “I think you are interested in the apps that I can show you and that is done through my lawyer. The police have also been reported, because there is no truth in this story.”
Dennis: “But you do understand that if you have a lawyer, it will look very suspicious if you have done nothing wrong?”
Counselor
Dirk denies that. “Well, it’s more of a kind of counselor who can discuss things with you. Plus: I have some apps that can also go to you, but I just outsourced that because I don’t have time for that. There’s no question of that at all. The whole story makes no sense, but you won’t be surprised that I think so.”
The lawyer later shows RoddelPraat the following app from Jet: “Hi Dirk, I am secretly proud that I kissed you. I used to idolize you during Divorce. I thought you were so handsome at the time (still do) but I could only dream of this at the time. And who can say that she is in the same list as Linda de Mol. 😉”
Finally: “I’ll see you on December 14. ❤️”
And possibly Dirk was no longer interested on that day, last Sunday… Revenge?
