Leontine Ruiters erupted in tears during TV recordings when Monique Westenberg stuck her a spring in the ass. One compliment and hops: Waterlanders. “I am also surprised how strong I am.”
It is pretty uncomfortable television: the new BN’er therapy show of SBS 6 in which always three other star psychologist play with each other. After we saw Wesley Sneijder putting all his deepest feelings on the table last week, the turn of the überemotional Ladies Leontine Ruiters and Monique Westenberg will be the turn of the coming weekend.
‘I was kápot’
Monique tells in a taste, which was shown last night at Shownieuwsabout her grandmother. She died exactly in the same period that André Hazes Jr. abandoned her. “When she died, my private life was completely in ruins. At the same time. That saved two days. I became on all sides … there were cameras in front of my door.”
She continued in the 2 fantastic days: “I was followed, everywhere I was confronted with it, but my grandmother was dead. Yes, that was above all. I was kápot, she was my life.”
Falseiness
How does Monique deal with that? “Where I then got the power from getting through it and keeping my mouth shut on all the falsities that were there and to get rid of it … I think I had two examples, so I dealt with it that way, and that was you and that was Yolanthe.”
While Leontine bursts immediately in tears, Mo continues: “And both of you just unconsciously gave me an example of how to deal with the situation. I really got strength out of that, because I thought: if you can do this, then I can. Why does it move you?”
Young Young
Frank Masmeijer, who is the third Dutch person in that house, is one of the hearing. He mumbles from the side: “Well, you have also had something over you, I don’t believe? Young young young. Happy how you are strong women.”
Then Leontine says about the compliment: “I also receive it, although I always find that a bit difficult, but I think it’s very sweet what you say.”
‘I am so strong’
Then we see how Leontine also gives itself a compliment. “I sometimes amazed how strong I actually am and I have been in a survival for a long time and just not feeling and continuing, you know.”
She concludes: “That is something I have consciously chosen for, that I no longer want that. I no longer want to be in a survival position.”
