Georgina Verbaan receives support from frequent flyer Patty Brard after the criticism of her flight to Spain† The TV diva thinks it’s ridiculous that the actress is under fire. “She’s just right!”
Dutch celebrities who lecture people about their CO2 emissions cause annoyance to many people, because hypocrisy is often involved. Linda de Mol wants to get rid of cheap city trips while she herself continuously flies to Portugal with her private jet, Ellie Lust wants a ban on ‘drinking coffee in Barcelona’ while she is drinking wine in the South of France and so on.
“Georgina is a hypocrite!”
This time Georgina Verbaan is accused of hypocrisy. She belongs to the circle of celebrities who like to point fingers, but those stars also want to get away from time to time. She posted a photo yesterday in which she is standing in the queue with her bosom friend Patrick Martens at Schiphol, which is against the sore leg of both critics and climate fighters.
One Daniëlle tweeted: “Hypocritical Georgina Verbaan ?. Tap everyone on the fingers or make them feel guilty if they emit CO2. That is why Mrs. does not eat meat, buys vintage, lives as minimalist as possible, runs the climate march and is a WWF ranger. But she also loves to fly. The height of hypocrisy .”
‘I do not lie!’
Georgina reacts irritated. “Sgat, I’m going to my brother’s wedding. Leave me alone.”
When someone points out that her brother would have been married two years ago, she says, “I’m not lying doll.”
According to Georgina, it is also not true that she is crazy about flying. “I hate flying.”
Show news expert Bart Ettekoven understands where the criticism comes from, even if she only goes to her brother’s birthday. “There is a lot of criticism, because she is a champion of a better climate and healthy living.”
Patty in the breach
Patty Brard, who is on the plane to Ibiza more often than the average student on the train, stands up for Georgina. “But then you would never be allowed to fly again, come on!”
Bart: “Everyone was immediately in the pen again, like: ‘You are such a hypocrite!’”
Patty: “She’s right.”
Bart: “She is also absolutely right.”
in the mess
Patty will return to Ibiza later this week, but not from Schiphol. “In fact, I couldn’t even get to Ibiza from Schiphol. That had to be done via Rotterdam.”
Very annoying, says Patty. “It’s a luxury problem, but I have to take the car to Rotterdam at four in the morning with those dogs and then from there…”
