Eline de Ruig, one of the experts from Shownieuws, thinks that Jutta Leerdam is acting like a terrible pissant. “Appearing in front of the camera is just part of her job,” she says.
Top skater Jutta Leerdam is causing annoyance with her attitude at the Olympic Games. The opinions about her refusal to talk to the press cause misunderstanding. “At first there was a lot of criticism about the fact that she flew to Milan on a private jet to the Olympic Games,” says celebrity expert Bart Ettekoven in Show news.
About the piss
The comments under her Instagram posts don’t lie, says Bart. “Everyone thinks something about it, because: where is your sense of team spirit, because you are going there with the whole team? That had calmed down a bit, but then it became known that she no longer wanted to talk to the press before her match. Well, the entire press was on its hind legs.”
“Then she eventually gave one interview to the NOS and it was about her ankle injury. It was clear in the interview that she did not want to talk about that, so she asked afterwards if they could take it out, but the NOS did not do that and they just broadcast it in its entirety, so she was also upset about that.”
“I got it!”
Celebrity photographer William Rutten understands Jutta. “Everything she says is put under a magnifying glass, so it comes back to you and then you start to worry about it again. Whether you are saying the wrong things. If you say the wrong thing, you get nagging about it again.”
Show expert Eline de Ruig does not agree with this. “I think she brought that on herself completely. You want to become an influencer, she puts herself on the map all the time, Jake Paul comes over with flowers and they film it all. Then you know that people really want you in front of the camera.”
‘It’s part of it!’
Bart also stands up for Jutta. “Just before the match, I think William is right, because she is in her focus.”
Eline: “It’s just part of it. When you do this kind of thing, you just have to appear in front of the camera, even if it’s for one or two minutes.”
Bart: “Of course you don’t have to do anything, because it is your competition and you have trained for it for four years.”
William: “There is also a good chance that if you say something and it doesn’t work, those images will be constantly repeated, like: ‘Yes, but you said this.’ I understand.”
Hate comments
Eline doesn’t understand anything about her colleagues. “You’re representing a country and we all want to enjoy it. I understand that you’re not going to do everything, but you can still speak to NOS, right?”
“She really chooses it herself. I don’t condone the hate reactions, I think that goes way too far, because she should know what she is doing, but if you are also posting videos of yourself all the time and you really enjoy showing that you are different from the rest, then yes, you can also expect criticism.”
