Jeroen Rietbergen was spotted again at the airport after a month and a half of rehab. He seems to be returning to the Netherlands, but not to Linda de Mol’s castle. “She feels a lot of shame.”
It has only been two months since Jeroen Rietbergen, then still the lover of Linda de Mol, was unmasked as one of the perverts at The Voice of Holland. Even before the infamous broadcast of BOOS, Linda kicked him out of their castle in Crailo. Not long after, juice channels revealed that he flew to Tennessee to kick the habit.
Back to the Netherlands
Jeroen was spotted again yesterday at the airport, but then at the Newark International Airport of New Jersey. The images are currently available on the juice channel by Farja ‘FawryNotSawry’ Farvardin. It seems that the former band leader of The Voice is returning home, but it is unclear where he will stay.
Showbizhyena Yvonne Coldeweijer previously cynically stated that Jeroen would be allowed to return to Linda’s arms after his therapies in America. “It also sounds like Gooische logic that he can come back to Lin and the family after this ‘intensive process’, because ‘then ‘he has worked on himself again’.”
‘Linda is ashamed’
For the time being, that does not seem to be happening: according to nephew Johnny de Mol, Linda is still ashamed to death. He says today in the podcast 30 Minutes Raw: “Yes, if you consider what Jeroen has done… Jeroen Rietbergen, Linda’s friend. If you figure it all out like this, Linda feels a lot of shame. I feel that pain.”
“The greatest sadness I feel is with Linda. But if you put it all together, you think: Jesus man, you f*cked up, big time and you really put a bomb under the whole thing. That may be more the business side, but there are also a lot of people who are really bothered by this.”
nice people
How is it possible that Jeroen has misbehaved so raunchy for years? Johnny doesn’t know. “I also spoke to Jeroen’s parents and his brother. Just very nice people. They really didn’t raise him like: “Send dirty pictures of you-know-what-what.” New. You know.”
Is it a mental illness? “Of course it’s not really healthy. You just have to really seek help for that, no matter what happens now. He obviously destroyed a lot.”
Will Linda stop?
The big question is: when will Linda return to television? Or will she stop? “I can imagine that Linda is now toying with that thought. You know, like: do I still feel like walking down the stairs with a golden suitcase? But Linda is strong. She really comes back strong, but she is also just a victim.”
“Something happened in her life. She has lost her husband, she has half the Netherlands on her roof, was mistrusted, she suddenly had to answer for something. But hey, she’s very strong, so she’ll get there. She is going to consider what she is going to do and luckily she has the opportunity to choose that.”
