Patty Brard states that inviting Glennis Grace to her birthday party in the Ziggo Dome has serious consequences. “That caused me so much shit,” she says honestly.
Glennis Grace’s popularity has taken a serious hit due to the crime she committed in her local Jumbo branch. Every time the singer appears somewhere, a lot of criticism erupts. Patty Brard also received a lot of criticism for inviting the singer to her birthday party in the Ziggo Dome.
A lot of shit
From whom Patty has received so much criticism? Her own fans. They really left massive negative comments on her Instagrammail. Some even indicate that they offer twelve tickets for sale.
Patty in Show news: “Guys, she has already apologized to those people… I’m also in favor of Glennis, because three years later, she has calmed down a lot. I invited her to my birthday party for a reason. That has caused me so much shit, but I just think: try to forgive everyone.”
Open mind
It also bothers Patty that Glennis was questioned so critically by Wilfred Genee on Friday in Today Inside. It irritated the presenter that the singer did not want to talk more about the incident. “But if you don’t agree on anything and you sit there and you want to interrogate me, then I don’t have to say anything if I don’t feel like it.”
“Nothing has been agreed. I happen to know that. One hundred percent, nothing has been agreed. Open mind. I shared a dressing room with Glennis last week, so I am one hundred percent sure that nothing has been agreed. If he wants to hear something that she no longer wants to say, it may be because she feels terrible for those victims.”
Canceled
Why did Glennis join VI in the first place? “To say that she is very happy that she is invited by Johan, that she can perform in the country again and that people like me are slowly but surely inviting her again. They believe that the cancellation should end at some point.”
Colleague Bart Ettekoven: “It is funny to see that I think many colleagues have forgiven her, but that public opinion is still against her. You can also see that the moment you invite her. When it was announced this week that she would come on Friday, you also saw all kinds of reactions from people such as: ‘Then I won’t look!’”
‘Then don’t look!’
What message does Patty have for those people? “Then you shouldn’t look! In her case, I also thought it was very strong that she started singing with VI and that is what it is about, that the girl has to earn and wants to earn her living and that it is her passion,” she says.
“If Wilfred did not understand that, then he should take a closer look at why that girl was there, namely to promote herself and say that she is sorry and to say that she wants and is allowed to go back to work .”
Unclear
All in all, Glennis has a loyal ally in Patty. But what all those celebrity friends of Glennis are so concerned about is completely unclear: no one is canceling Glennis, but there must be an audience waiting for her.
Of course, Glennis’ celebrity friends do not determine whether the public likes her again or not. The audience decides that entirely. And that determines whether or not she is invited or can give performances…
