Linda de Mol seems to have to believe it sooner or later: an independent interview in which she is critically called to account about the Voice scandal. Who’s going to question her?
She thinks she can pick up her TV career again without justifying herself to an independent medium about her role in the abuse scandal surrounding The Voice of Holland: Linda de Mol. For example, there are still questions about how much exactly she knew about the misconduct of Jeroen Rietbergen.
Still an interview?
The biggest question, however, is still why Linda did not do anything within Talpa with her inside information about the alleged serious misconduct of Ali B. She herself claims that she did so at the request of his alleged victims, while she easily had her brother John de Mol. can warn without violating their trust.
Linda refuses to be accounted for by an independent party for her role in the Voice scandal, but that situation does not seem tenable. According to media expert Victor Vlam, it is inevitable that an interview must still take place.
“Sven or Eve!”
Who does Victor think is right for this big Linda interview? “She just has to expose her buttocks. She just needs to give an interview where she just lets herself be interviewed by someone with a journalistic background who will ask any question that person wants to ask. For example at a talk show,” he says in the podcast The Communicados.
He continues: “You can join Eva Jinek. He also interviewed Nick & Simon. That’s a perfect person for that. Op1 is also possible. Sven Kockelmann wants to profile himself as the best interviewer in the Netherlands. He mainly does politicians, but maybe he also wants to take a trip to Linda de Mol.”
unsympathetic
Sven is perhaps the best choice, continues Victor. “That wouldn’t even be a very bad idea. I think you should pick someone who really has a journalistic background. Sven Kockelmann is just an unsympathetic interviewer and that’s just a big advantage in a way.”
He continues: “People always think you want a sympathetic interviewer. No, you just want to have a l*l as an interviewer because then you seem a much more reasonable person in comparison.”
Co-host Lars Duursma: “So the bigger the l*l is, the better?”
Victor: “Yes, let Sven Kockelmann ask the questions indeed and then you sit there with a big friendly smile and then you patiently answer.”
Golden tip
What would Victor really advise against the fallen TV queen? “It should not be someone from the Talpa ranks. That is really very important, so you want to join RTL 4 or the NPO, and preferably just someone with a very strong journalistic base. That is really very important.”
Does he have any golden tips for Linda? “That self-pity just shouldn’t be visible in an interview.”
