Paul de Leeuw has been portrayed by Erben Wennemars as someone who does indeed shout loudly in the workplace, but who is the real perpetrator here? “Erben himself!”
The news that Paul de Leeuw shouted terribly at a female director during recordings in a children’s hospital does not surprise Erben Wennemars. He also claimed on Friday evening in the talk show Humberto that he was also a victim of transgressive shouting behavior by the presenter. “It was very intense.”
Erben the perpetrator?
Rob Goossens thinks this is very wrong of Erben, he says at the desk RTL Boulevard. “This is a very good example of why it is sometimes a good idea to first talk to the person if you have experienced something before you go outside with it.”
Moreover, Erben himself seems to be the bogeyman, the TV expert continues. “From behind the scenes I understood that Erben Wennemars was the one who was a bit difficult for the people involved in the production to work with and that Paul de Leeuw was the one who actually put on the brakes for the staff.”
ADHDer does a trick
Did the former skater really make it so bad? Did he surpass Paul’s decibel record? “Erben Wennemars is also such a big name that there are people around who think: give my share to Fikkie. (…) It’s an ADHD person who does his trick in such a studio program full of craziness, you can imagine that, right?”
Should Erben respond to these accusations? “Seems useful to me. I certainly don’t want to accuse anyone else here, just yes… If you don’t go to someone and you think: hey, we’ve been through something before, then wild stories can suddenly start circulating.”
“Hey, listen up.”
It is strange that Erben would rant like that in a talk show. “I think Erben really thinks that it happened the way he told it, but if he were to say to Paul de Leeuw: ‘Hey, listen to it, I didn’t like that very much’, then Paul would have Leo can tell what the background is.”
Rob says he has several sources, Paul’s manager does not want to respond.
