Patty Brard appeared on television last night in a black bathing suit to protest against the statements of Jeroen Snel, the royalty connoisseur of RTL Boulevard. “Is this allowed?”
Countess Eloise appeared on television this week in a bathing suit, namely in the program Het Perfecte Plaatje. It is something new that the king’s family participates in TV entertainment and in that context Jeroen Snel, as a royalty connoisseur, spoke of a ‘borderline case’. He thinks the monarchy could become untenable if royals become too ordinary.
Original Patty
Jeroen’s statements are certainly unfortunate in this day and age. Celebrities seize the opportunity to put him on the scaffold, because it is such a shame that he says this about a 20-year-old girl. Or do they just find it very nice that they can take a look themselves in the context of the hashtag #magditwelvanjeroensnel? shine can grab with a bathing suit moment?
Of all those celebrities who make a good, strong statement about a non-subject with their bathing suit photo – to show how strongly they stand for the cause – Patty Brard excels in originality. She announced the broadcast of Shownieuws yesterday in a black swimming outfit.
Spontaneous joke
Why did Patty do this? “I thought: all well and good that social media event and everyone who had called a nice hashtag #magditwelvanjeroensnel into the world, but I thought: why not just enjoy tonight on television in your bathing suit?”, she says in the broadcast of Show news.
Colleague Bart Ettekoven: “It was a kind of spontaneous joke in the meeting this afternoon. I thought, she’s never going to do that. And you said, ‘Why not?!’”
Do what you want
Patty thinks it’s important. “Yes, because I just want to make the statement that if you just feel like doing this, you can do this. Whether Eloise is of royal descent or not… I am not, we all know that, but I thought this was such an exaggerated reaction.”
She continues: “What really bothers me – we’ll get to that in a minute – that Jeroen Snel doesn’t take responsibility for what he said. In any case, it has led to many reactions from celebrities.”
The royalty connoisseur has actually appeared in front of every camera crew that wanted to speak to him, including that of Shownieuws, and was in the studio of RTL Boulevard yesterday: how much accountability do you want?
Dyantha doesn’t dare
Patty’s colleague Dyantha Brooks did not dare to appear in a bathing suit. “This all started this morning in the Shownieuws app and then I thought: we’re just going to do this and then more and more bears came on the road that I thought: yes… Well, on TV in a bikini, in a bathing suit… I thought: no , I’m really not that tough.”
The Perfect Picture jury member William Rutten: “Isn’t it great, isn’t it, how she did that?”
Bart: “So this shows how brave it actually is for her as a royal to say: I’m just doing this.”
Very ordinary
It is now clear that everyone agrees that Countess Eloise can appear on television in a bathing suit. After all, many people also seem to agree that she is not that different from other girls at all.
And that, according to Bridget Maasland, raises another question. She says in RTL Boulevard: “I think they have to move with the times – anyway – and maybe, I find it painful to say, it’s time there was no monarchy anymore.”
Jeroen: “Yes, it is a system that is difficult to maintain and the question then is: does it help to participate in these types of programs or not?”
What a participation in Het Perfecte Plaatje cannot lead to…
