It will be inevitable sooner or later: a major TV interview with Linda de Mol. About the Voice scandal, about himself, about that aggrieved behavior. “Will that be with or without Jeroen?’
It remains difficult for Linda de Mol to find the right attitude in the media. The presenter quickly returned to the arms of Jeroen Rietbergen, despite his frequent misconduct. And although they have been back together for a long time, she only officially confirmed it this week. Is that official confirmation the prelude to more?
Dropping stitches
Linda has still not given an interview about her knowledge of the Voice scandal and someone like Catherine Keyl finds that very strange, especially because the fallen TV queen has made quite a few mistakes.
For example, according to her sweetheart Jeroen, Linda was aware of his misconduct at The Voice of Holland and she herself admitted that she had known about Ali B’s perversions for quite some time. In both cases, Linda did not intervene adequately and his victims will certainly blame her for that.
‘That has been resolved’
However, private boss Evert Santegoeds is happy that Linda and Jeroen are a couple again, without any explanation. “That has been resolved. They are just together and celebrate Christmas together and also enter the new year together. Well, that’s nice,” said the Privé editor-in-chief, known as Linda-lackey, in the podcast Strictly Private.
“Everyone can have an opinion about that, but Linda is like: that’s my business and I don’t have to answer to anyone, but maybe she will do that one day.”
Together or alone?
Jordi Versteegden, show reporter for De Telegraaf, wonders what that will look like. “And do you think it is wise to do that together with Jeroen or would she do it alone?”
Evert is clear about this: “No, I think she should do that alone. Jeroen has to fend for himself. Moreover, he still has an Article 12 procedure hanging on his back. The Public Prosecution Service must decide again whether to prosecute him or not; the victim wants that.”
Wipe clean
Linda can now start talking, Evert thinks. “Then Linda could at least sweep the streets clean and say: ‘Well, I chose this and these are my considerations.’”
Jordi: “I’m curious what Jeroen is doing at the moment. Does he still make music?”
Evert: “I think he made music with Gooische Vrouwen and is just working. He was also acquitted. At least, that case was dismissed, so nothing stood in the way of that again.”
