Nicol Kremers has made not one, but TEN reports of abuse by Peter Gillis. And now even Shownieuws is starting to lose heart: “He must fear for his freedom.”
Now that Nicol Kremers is no longer financially dependent on Peter Gillis, she has decided not to let him get away with his misbehavior after all. Last year, the police witnessed the aftermath of an alleged assault, which is why the OM decided to prosecute Peter, despite not wanting to press charges herself.
Ten declarations
That case against Peter is due in August, but now Nicol still wants to talk, triggered by the ugly things that have passed about her on television. She has hired the well-known lawyer Sébas Diekstra and it now appears that there is much more going on than just that incident.
Patty Brard, confidant of Nicol, tells in the Show news from yesterday evening: “They have decided to file ten reports of assault and a number of other reports – and I am not talking about two – of threats. And all that in the four or four and a half years that they have had a relationship with each other.”
Add declarations
The declarations against Peter were made last Thursday. “They don’t know if they are going to add all the reports together, because on August 29, Peter has to appear for that one assault. If all this is added, Bram…”
Colleague Bram Moszkowicz, who previously stood in the breach for Peter, then: “Then we won’t make it to August. The officer decides whether to add cases. And why wouldn’t he?”
Patty: “If it’s all about the same thing…”
Bram: “That’s all the more reason to add things and then you won’t make it to August.”
Bake for months
It is commendable that Patty is so committed to the victim in this case: Nicol. Her colleagues from Shownieuws, especially Airen Mylene, Bram Moszkowicz and Evert Santegoeds, previously showed their ugliest side by fanatically joining Peter’s PR fanfare, but thanks to Patty that attitude now seems to be changing.
Even Bram suddenly barks along with Patty. She: “And what kind of punishment would hang over his head, if…”
Bram: “Look, if ten assaults were proven and look: one assault is not the same, sounds crazy… But if quite a few knocks have been handed out, yes, then you are talking about imprisonment of at least months.”
Two faces
Bart Ettekoven seems to be preparing for Peter’s demise. “Of course he can very well have two faces. We also had him here in the studio once. Then he comes across as nice, but you also don’t know what someone is doing at home. So it may be that he now shows that different face to his new girlfriend.”
Bram adds: “Let’s say here at the table: he has not yet been convicted in that case. Let the judge decide on that.”
But what is the central conclusion? Presenter Manuel Venderbos: “Peter Gillis must fear for his freedom.”
