Doutzen Kroes has been under fire in the talk show of Eva Jinek. The model finds it a shame that conspiracy theorist David Icke has been banned from the Netherlands. “How far is she gone?!”
It is no longer a secret that Doutzen Kroes has slipped quite a bit after her successful career as a top model. The wife of DJ Sunnery James is nowadays mainly active as a conspiracy influencer. In that capacity, she recently spoke of shame that British conspiracy theorist David Icke is not welcome in the Netherlands.
Elite Reptiles
David believes the world is run by an elite of reptiles who want to subjugate humanity. It would be, for example, Frank Sinatra, the British royal family and our princess Beatrix. “The moon is [volgens hem] a command center for aliens, including reptiles,” explains sidekick Roelof Hemmen in Jinek.
It all goes pretty far. “He thinks those creatures orchestrated, for example, the corona lockdowns, the war in Ukraine and high energy prices to make people independent and scared. The Holocaust is also such a conspiracy, he says,” says Roelof. And that is why David is also seen as an anti-Semite.
‘Doutzen, how far are you?’
Dinner guest Özcan Akyol: “Pretty sick, huh?”
Hostess Eva Jinek: “Decent. Properly, yes.”
Özcan: “That’s why I also think that such a type as Doutzen Kroes, eh, who passed by very often in the corona time… Two weeks ago on Instagram she really had a post like: ‘This man must be able to speak!’ Then I also think: how far are you now, Doutzen Kroes, that you do that?”
Eight million followers
Eva points to Doutzen’s influence. “She has eight million followers on Instagram and she wrote: ‘Since when do we refuse people in the Netherlands if they don’t participate in the generally accepted political narrative? We don’t all have to agree, but we do have to respect freedom of expression.’”
Özcan: “You know that if that man comes, there will be riots. That has also been announced. Several groups also wanted to do counter-demonstrations. Why would you facilitate that as the Netherlands if you know it in advance?”
“Just a question!”
Eva wonders what to do with types like Doutzen. “People like Doutzen Kroes… He writes: ‘I’m just asking a question.’ From: why are we going to refuse someone, people are allowed to have a different opinion? How do you address that without people feeling like she is being silenced?”
Claire Martens, party leader of the VVD in Amsterdam: “The big problem is: this group also has the feeling that they are being silenced. Let’s clear up the misunderstanding: this Mr Icke will not be silenced. He has many internet options to launch his theories into society.”
Worrying
Claire: “In the case of Doutzen Kroes: I find that very worrying, because what you see happening – especially among mothers, eh, Mother Heart – is that question marks are placed behind everything and then it is allowed, because it is a question. So the question mark is now used to make anti-Semitic statements salonfähig. Yes, of course we all have to fight that.”
Özcan: “She can frame as if that man… Freedom of speech and I don’t know what, but it is just anti-Semitism and in the Netherlands we have said that it is punishable. So what she says isn’t right.”
