Jan Dijkgraaf, the pronounced biographer of the Meilandjes, has a strong suspicion that Tim den Besten has invented his cancer diagnosis for PR considerations. “I can’t believe it.”
It really turned out to be a very strange figure: Tim den Besten. We used to see him bouncing over the screen day and night, but nowadays it is quiet around him. Very quiet. Fifteen months ago it came out that he was a gravel terrorist and he tried to hide it by quickly announcing that cancer had been found with him.
‘Really very wrong’
Tim hoped that announcing that diagnosis – it would be a rare form of cancer – would silence all criticism of his misconduct, but that did not work. The former VPRO presenter brought out a press release last weekend in which he re-links his gravel-blank behavior and his health.
What was in that press release? That Tim will not be prosecuted after successful mediation interviews for the identity fraud he has been committed and that he has been declared cancer -free. That health update naturally distracts enormously from his confession in the fraud case and to use your cancer for something like that, according to medianer Lars Duursma, is very wrong.
Doubts about Tim
There are also people who openly doubt Tim’s cancer diagnosis. Johan Derksen said on national television that he hopes that Tim has not made up that cancer and now also shows Meilandjes biographer Jan Dijkgraaf.
Jan thinks it’s all suspicious. He read that press release with TIMS confession. “And oh yes, from the mysterious form of cancer that forced him to leave the publicity shortly after that affair came out, I would also like to believe that that disease was not made up. But wanting is not always: can ”, he writes.
Singh Varma
Tim is on the response platform Nujij Also linked to Tara Singh Varma, who left politics with the announcement that she was incurably ill, which later turned out to be a lie. “A special man with a high Tara Singh Varma content,” says one Madieke.
In the press release, Tim thanks the doctors of the Erasmus MC and the Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Hospital. The chance that he lies over his cancer is therefore quite small; By mentioning your treatment center so specific, a lie could come out much faster.
