Frans Duijts must immediately stop his incessant boasting, because it could just cost him his musical career, says Private boss Evert Santegoeds. “This is not done.”
It is of course already vulgar in itself that Frans Duijts buys a very expensive Ferrari while we are heading towards one million people in poverty in the Netherlands alone, but that he also feels the narcissistic urge to call Shownieuws to get on that new showpiece together. to go and get it, of course, beats everything. A ‘coquettish brat’, VI thinks of him.
‘could cost his head’
Jordi Versteegden, reporter for De Telegraaf, thinks that as a star you might be able to do this in America, but certainly not in the Netherlands. “It’s not always smart to flaunt your money. That can also cost you the head among your fans,” he says in the podcast Strictly Private.
Evert Santegoeds, editor-in-chief of Privé, agrees. “Well, it could cost you your career. Just ask Frans Duijts. He has boasted with two beautiful expensive cars that he bought, but it is the Netherlands, French! That is almost impossible here, even if you work hard for it (…) and your father passed away and you have received an inheritance.”
‘It’s not done’
It doesn’t matter how Frans got his money, says Evert. “It’s just in the Netherlands not done to show off everything you have.”
Fortunately, that is not done: modesty adorns man. “Then the men from VI also go over it, of which we all know that they can all afford such a car,” says Evert.
Indeed, so much for the argument that people who criticize Frans’ expensive car must be ‘jealous’. No, it’s the disgusting narcissism that people hate.
Star behavior
Stars should not behave like stars in our country, Evert emphasises. “That was also the case with Mart Hoogkamer recently. But if you do 400 performances a year, then you really have money to buy a nice BMW. And what’s more, you just have to be on the road day and night and drive safely. But it is better not to show it.”
Telegraaf presenter Pim Sedee also notices that Frans’ behavior arouses a lot of annoyance, he says in a video on the newspaper site. “Many of his followers can’t exactly appreciate flaunting this wealth. This is how one follower reacts: ‘Very showy, maybe a free concert for your fans who live in poverty.’”
‘Not intended’
According to Frans, his boasting is ‘not intended that way’. “If anyone has their feet on the ground, it’s me! But if it affects you like that, I’m very sorry! It is not my intention, “he says to someone on his Insta.
And that free concert? That will be difficult with the ’23 people’ he has to pay, according to Frans. Pim: “We don’t know who those 23 people are, but at least he has enough money to drive himself to those performances in a big car.”
