You need it from your colleagues: Martien Meiland did not even send a text to Wendy van Dijk after the terrible news about her 13-year-old daughter. “That doesn’t suit me.”
Wendy van Dijk immediately stopped all her television work, because her daughter appears to have a rare blood disease and it is better if her entire family goes into isolation as much as possible. As a result, the recordings of Wie van de Drie, in which she collaborates with, among others, SBS 6 colleague Martien Meiland, on hold put.
‘It’s terrible’
What does Martien think about that? “Well, of course I was very shocked by that. Not just me, but all of us, because it is of course terrible what happened to Erland and Wendy’s daughter,” he responds in Show news.
His life partner Erica Meiland said: “It is a very difficult time. It’s also her birthday today, Wendy.”
The Shownieuws reporter wonders what Martien texted Wendy. “Do you text her a lot or call her?”
No app
Then it turns out that Martien didn’t even send a text message. “No, because I know from experience that if you are in such a difficult situation and you keep being confronted by texts or phone calls, you know… No, that, no, that doesn’t suit me, no.”
Erica: “No, but we do think about them.”
Martien: “Yes, certainly.”
Well, that helps Wendy – the silent supporter Martien. Nice collegial…
