Rob Kemps can kick himself if things end up with his new lover: then everything would have been for nothing. How does he view his collapsed popularity?
What is the most valuable asset of every celebrity? His or her image. With a good image and a high favorability factor you can simply generate much more money than if people are less charmed by you. If you make a mess in your private life, Mien from Assen will soon like you less and stop zapping you. It’s that simple.
Rob makes it great
Rob Kemps is very colorful in that respect. Not only has he left his family with young children to run off with his backup dancer, but he also rubs this very much under the nose of his ex-lover. While she now takes care of almost all of the upbringing, Rob goes on a nice trip with his new sweetheart.
You may wonder how wise it is to go on holiday often and for long periods of time with your new girlfriend, while there are children walking around in the nest you left behind who need their father. But you may wonder how much choice it is to showcase all those trips extensively on social media.
Evert is critical
Don’t choose, says Evert Santegoeds. “Yes, he does have a problem and that has to do with his private life, among other things. You often see that people’s private lives influence their performance on TV. We had Humberto Tan with his image problem when he had an extramarital affair,” he says Show news.
This is now also the case with Rob Kemps, Evert continues. “Now he is in a relationship with Stephanie Klaver, with whom he is so deeply in love that he keeps posting pictures about how much fun they are having in Paris and wherever they are. We can all enjoy it. The public has some reservations about that.”
Not sympathetic
Rob’s behavior just doesn’t come across as sympathetic and even a bit rude and disrespectful to the audience. “They think: yes, but you left your wife and child behind for this new happiness,” says Evert.
Sandra Schuurhof: “Do you think that’s it?”
Evert: “Yes, that certainly plays a role. Tina Nijkamp, the feared television professor, has serious doubts about whether management should intervene: ‘Hey Rob, wait a while with this, because your programs are suffering.’ After the great success, he now really has an image problem, which seems to have been caused by this.”
‘I think that’s a shame’
What does Rob actually think of it? Is this all worth it to him? “I think that’s a shame. It all seems to be part of it. I think it’s been about nineteen months now and yes, look, I’ve learned that whatever you say is never right, so all I can say now is that I’m fine with what everyone thinks or says. ”
Rob speaks to Shownieuws at some concert by the Elvis impersonator Bouke, with whom he has made a travel program. He concludes: “For the rest, I just hope that we at least have a nice evening. In any case, we have created a nice program. I would say: come back once you have seen the program.”
Emotional person
Then it turns out that Bouke also wants to say something: “I would like to point out that Rob is really an emotional person and Rob is a man who enjoys his children and who is always there for his children.”
Emotional person? Well, Rob’s ex-lover spontaneously chokes on her coffee. It is also possible…
