His TV career is quiet, his car has crashed on the roadside and his credibility is now dangling: Rick Brandsteder seems to be gambling over his alcohol consumption. “Annoying bastard!”
Rick Brandsteder was arrested by the police at the beginning of March after he with his car on the roadside. His alcohol promillage turned out to be 1.83, comparable to fourteen glass beer. According to Rick, he had only drunk two beers before driving, and only then drank further while he was waiting for help in the roadside.
Tie
Traces of drugs were also found; According to Rick it was about soft drugs. The death of his father Ron Brandsteder, a month earlier, would have made him emotional. How do we all know this? Because the former presenter had to answer in court yesterday.
Show expert Bart Ettekoven does not believe that Rick only started drinking after the accident like a silly. “It is of course a chat story. You can neat that on your fingers,” he says to the desk of Shownieuws.
Same
Private boss Evert Santegoeds denounces Rick. “When I heard it, I thought: Oh, he’s going to get the death of his father. That is of course also very bad, that was a month earlier and of course that grief is not yet processed, that was a horrible death, but that is not a reason to almost kill someone else’s father.”
Then he turns to colleague Bram Moszkowicz: “You have also defended the old Brandsteder in the same thing, Ron, and he also had a hand to drive his car in the lake and then sit at home.”
Copy
Rick is copying that now, thinks Evert. “I believe that this lawyer looked at it very carefully when the next generation worked in the nests and said:” That story that your father told then … He got away very well with that, will we get that from the stable again? ” I think that is going on now. “
Bram’s smile then says enough. Bart: “For the sake of clarity, for the people who missed that: Ron then swam from the Vecht, to the side and he went home and thought: tomorrow that alcohol promillage will of course have dropped nicely.”
Bucket bag
Bram explains it. “He was actually arrested at home at the time and then they measured an alcohol promillage and then he said,” I was so shocked that I was driving in the Vecht that I drank two cognacs. ” I also brought that into that. “
Then Evert shouts about Rick: “But he has just always been an annoying bastard, Excusez le Motbut there is always something with Rick Brandsteder. “
Battle
Bram does recognize himself in that. “I involved the figures here: in 2007 in a fight, in 2008 at an afterparty of the Toppers, an argument, in 2011 an assault, in 2016 a mistreatment at a disco, but that is independent of this case.”
Evert: “I would mind if he got away with it.”
Bart: “I think he should just let himself be helped with that addiction again. I also heard that he was signaled in Amsterdam again and not on a spot red or on a chamomile sheet, so in that regard … I don’t know about it, but I think: if you have been in a withdrawal clinic, you should never drink anything again, I think.”
