Nielson is praised for his honest response to the fact that he cheated hard. “I think it’s also the only way to deal with it like this,” says Boulevard reporter Aran Bade.
Like many other celebrities, Nielson also has experience cheating his partner. He had a fan of the teenage girl come to his hotel room at night and it turned out that he had never heard of the word ‘discreet’. She decided to film the singer when he slept and throw it on the socials. And Yvonne Coldeweijer is never far away.
Nelson doesn’t bash
Final score: Nielson has had a bitter Christmas and is now fighting for his marriage. Yesterday he spoke extensively about this for the first time because of the release of his new single. He spoke to both Radio 538 and RTL Boulevard. “My life has been complicated for the past month, for sure,” the singer said in the show section from RTL 4.
Reporter Aran Bade: “How did you react when you saw those photos or those messages about it?”
Surprisingly, Nielson doesn’t mention Yvonne or juice channels: “Of course I just screwed up at home. And I’m in the situation right now where I’m trying to take responsibility for that. And I’m lucky to have a woman who knows me very well. And which also gives me the opportunity to take that responsibility.”
Fucked up
Nielson is grateful to his wife. “Because she’s doing really great. And yes, we are looking for a way out of this, together.”
Aran: “I think it’s very nice to hear that she is at least still with you.”
Nielson: “Yes, it is right now.”
Aran: “It’s hard to say, you screwed up, but does it feel that way to you? That you thought, yes, what have I done?”
Nielson: “Yes, I hurt someone I love very much. That is of course not my intention. At least, that’s not how I went out that day. And now I’m trying… I’m not running away from it. It has happened. I’m going too own. I’m not going to wrap all cloths around it either. This is what it is. My focus is very logically on my wife now.”
Shock
Was it a shock for Nielson to find out that his one-night stand has been taking pictures and videos? “It was a bigger shock to my wife than to me, of course. Yeah, what I’m saying, it just sucks. And in the end I am just a human being who made a huge mistake.”
Is he sorry? “Yes, if you don’t regret this, if you see the effect of this and you don’t regret it, you would be inhuman again. So yes, of course.”
Very honest
A celebrity who doesn’t talk about demons, sadness holes or an intimacy vacuum: sometimes refreshing. Aran: “It’s the most honest reaction I’ve heard in ages from a celebrity who has cheated. There were no pre-restrictions. He said ‘just ask what you want to ask’. I think it is also the only way to deal with it like this.”
Shownieuws star Tooske Ragas: “There are those who have reacted differently.”
Colleague Bart Ettekoven: “Those who don’t care anymore, who throw the demons into battle again.”
Tooske: “Or blame someone else.”
Bart: “He owns it, so that is absolutely a fact. Compliments for that. He is also vulnerable.”
