Tim Hofman is in the right place with the way singer Maan is put down the stone shop in the media. He particularly gives Johan Derksen a tap on the fingers. “It’s sexist.”
Maan De Steenwinkel has been anything but loved in the media for some time. She is pretty taunting because, according to critics, she exhibits rather pretentious behavior. Johan Derksen finds her artistic turning, for example, laughable. “She can’t sing! She has nothing! She sings like every neighbor!”, Says the VI-snor.
Tim in the breach
Very unkind, Tim Hofman thinks so. “It is not the only time that we spoke about this singer last year. We have noticed something lately, namely a negative trend around Moon. Did she do something very seriously? No, the singer changed from career race last year,” he says in his podcast ANGRY.
He continues: “Moon is happy and satisfied with her choice to switch music genre, but the sentiment about her in the media is very often very negative and sometimes even hateful. Perhaps actually extreme.”
‘Rot to hear’
To begin with: Tim is here in the breach for a girlfriend? “I met her two or three times. It is not someone I go on vacation or sit on the birthday.”
Then he shows a number of fragments in which moon is bashed. “It is actually bad to hear, but it illustrates how this woman is treated. I don’t know if Moon belongs. It actually seems pretty good to hear. We are starting with Johan Derksen.”
‘Quite intense’
Johan goes too far with teasing moon, says Tim. “He has spoken more often about Moon and he does that in a fairly intense way. The message is actually: he thinks she can’t sing.”
“It is striking, because there is also – and I taste that – a form of sexism. The older man who says something about the ability and the actions of a younger woman, of a mature woman, who seems to be worth a kind of less for him and that makes him really furious. That is how he really sounds.”
Slutshamed
Tim is also angry about a joke from Albert Verlinde. About the rumor that Maan would have done it with Freek Rikkerink, the show connoisseur shouted: “We first thought we had found the only male artist who had never had moon, so that’s good!”
Not fun either, Tim thinks. “She is being slutshamed. It is something bad. That’s how it is said and there is a laughter. And what you can ask yourself about this is: why is this relevant? Why is it relevant to speak in this way, speak for a million crowd about a woman who leads her life and makes music?”
Goor and Tina
In addition, Gordon, John van den Heuvel and Tina Nijkamp get another tap on the fingers. According to Tim, Gordon has expressed himself negatively about Moon’s Genreswitch, John has joked about her alleged coke use and Tina has suggested that Moon is negatively influenced by her boyfriend, one of the boys from Goldband.
About Gordon: “If you see that in the context what is said about Moon, it is simply a radar or a gear in the radar that turns the ugly side in the narrative about her.”
Down the Drain
John also just goes too far, says Tim. “Suppose someone has a problem with cocaine use, is this the way you say that?”
And Tina? According to him, he is sexist, just like Johan. “If we all add it all, then it has become the drug -addicted paranoid slut who is completely due to her boyfriend’s hands Down the Drain gone. “
He concludes: “If you openly do this to talk show tables and in newspaper articles, this also strengthens the image that it is possible, that it is normal for you to talk about musicians, talk about women, talk about people.”
