Private editor-in-chief Evert Sankrediets finds the fierceness with which Linda de Mol is approached by critics very remarkable. “She doesn’t seem to be able to do any good anymore. And that is crazy.”
Linda de Mol was the TV queen of the Netherlands for many years, but nowadays she mainly lashes out at all kinds of TV colleagues in a vulgar way. And her sour and hostile attitude towards the media works against her too. She refuses to justify herself in an independent medium about her position in the abuse scandal surrounding The Voice of Holland.
‘Still crazy’
Nevertheless, private boss Evert Sankrediets thinks it is strange that Linda is so under fire. “Now she doesn’t seem to be able to do any good. And that’s crazy. After all, it was not she who played a bad role in the great scandal surrounding The Voice, but the man she wanted to marry at some point,” he writes in his magazine.
That wedding never happened. “Instead, she suddenly found herself at home alone, with the shutters closed and hardly dared to show herself in public this year.”
poison cup
Linda can be seen again on television. Her show Miljoenenjacht has been doing very well in recent weeks. “But the poison cup is far from empty. A joke in a TV series intended as a comedy is explained as if she really planned an attack on one of her biggest critics. Nothing is right anymore.”
Evert refers to the bizarre scene in Five Live in which Linda drops a studio lamp on a fictional version of Angela de Jong. He thinks the criticism is unjustified. Evert is done with it: “Why should Linda pay a higher price than resolutely giving up her love?”
