Jim Bakkum thinks it is going too far for Glennis Grace to experience a whole summer without performances. The singer, who has recorded a duet with her, is surprised. “Nothing has been proven.”
Glennis Grace is persona non grata since her misbehavior in a Jumbo supermarket. She has to come to court in October and then it will become clear how badly the singer has misbehaved. Since she herself is silent as the grave, organizers are waiting for the hearing date before booking the Whitney Houston impersonator again.
“Nothing has been proven!”
That goes a long way, thinks colleague Jim Bakkum, who once song recorded with Glennis. “It is very difficult with all the stories that are doing the rounds, but I think: if nothing has been proven, I don’t draw any conclusions. These days, some people are completely taken down before anything is proven,” he says in the Weekend.
Didn’t Glennis say anything to Jim either? “No, but I don’t officially know what happened there either. Glennis indicates that she cannot say anything about it in connection with the police investigation.”
‘Very intense’
Glennis is also the reason the Ladies of Soul concerts have been cancelled. “I don’t know anything about it, so I can’t say anything about that, but this situation is very severe. That such a whole crew and production is just done with you.”
He thinks it’s really sad for her. “I know it means a lot to her. A few weeks ago I was at her concert in the Melkweg and saw that Glennis became emotional because there were people who still came to see her.”
Juice channels
Glennis’ misconduct was first reported in February by Yvonne Coldeweijer. What does Jim think of juice channels like Yvonne’s? “Well, what can you say about that. I’d rather see it not all there. I find it very intense and intense.”
“Some things just don’t concern people at all, they’re very private. I don’t really understand why that is then reported on online channels,” he says. “Situations are also magnified and sometimes that is really not necessary. In some situations you think: of course, something has happened, but you really don’t have to report that to everyone now.”
