Marc-Marie Huijbregts finds it really incomprehensible what Rachel Hazes does with her son André Hazes Jr. “I can’t get into her head. I just can’t understand her.”
It is a huge mystery to almost everyone in the country how Rachel Hazes deals with her children. How can someone sink so low? Her son André Hazes Jr. has given an interview to Shownieuws in which he indicates that he actually no longer wants to earn money for her, but will not cancel his performance at Holland Zingt Hazes.
Self-protection
Tina Nijkamp finds it very strange that Rachel demands her son to stop calling himself André Hazes. “It is of course terrible that as a mother you demand this from your son, who you yourself named André. I understand that he says he feels like an orphan,” she says in the talk show Beau on Sunday.
“I think it is self-protection, because he is so affected by it, in so much pain. He thinks: as self-protection I now have to build a wall around me against her and that is why I call her Rachel and no longer ‘my mother’.”
‘Incomprehensible’
Marc-Marie Huijbregts feels bad for André. “Yes, but the funny thing is of course: by saying that, you show that it still means a lot to you. Because otherwise you wouldn’t care what you call your mother. But because it still affects him so much, he can’t say mother.”
Tina: “No, he’s just completely devastated. That’s actually what he says, and I understand that.”
Marc-Marie: “I understand that, yes. I can’t get into her head. I just can’t understand her.”
‘Met her’
Host Beau van Erven Dorens also has no understanding for Rachel. “But who advises her?”
Tina: “Yes, I don’t know. I met her by chance when André and Roxeanne were still very small. Then they participated in Star Dancing on the Ice, Children Dancing on the Ice, So You Wannabe A Popstar and similar programs at SBS 6. She immediately put her children in the spotlight.”
“Then she came across as a firm mother who had also raised her children very well and had a great relationship, but that’s completely… I think she’s completely… Yeah, I don’t know either, but apparently she’s lost her way, because otherwise I don’t think you would do this.”
Stain on name
Rachel ensures that the Hazes name has become contaminated, according to Tina. “It is just a very tragic family story and also very unfortunate for the name Hazes. There is now a whole taint around it of a family quarrel and family fuss.”
Beau: “How tragic, and it shouldn’t have to be. You could also say: we need a mediator.”
John van den Heuvel: “Yes, I know her. I met her a few times, but that was before all this happened. Something happened that completely escalated it.”
Best friend
Marc-Marie points out that Rachel is escalating everything. “On several fronts, right? She also has a best friend who helped her a lot and took her to court. There is one court working on her full-time.”
John: “I spoke to her during that period, but I also think that she surrounded herself too much with advisors. So do legal advisors, who may not always have given the right vibe. It has now become a deeply tragic family drama.”
Super nice
In any case, it is nice that André and his sister Roxeanne have found each other again, Marc-Marie concludes. “I think it’s great that they have each other, and also that half-sister. It is very nice that you have such support for your sister.”
“Roxeanne was the band of the month at DWDD for a year and I know few people who are as nice, as polite and as sweet as she is.”
