Story boss Guido den Aantrekker, the unofficial spokesperson for Rachel Hazes, cannot imagine that Roxeanne Hazes was really abandoned by her mother for nine months.
Roxeanne Hazes made a number of bizarre revelations in the television hit Beste Zangers last night about the way she was raised by her mother Rachel Hazes. For example, she constantly parked Roxeanne with all kinds of strange host families when she was busy with the concerts of the late André Hazes. In one, Rox even had to walk around naked.
Guido downplays
The final blow came for Roxeanne when, after André’s death, she was parked again with these kinds of families, but for much longer. The reason? “My mother decided to write a book. I haven’t had my mother with me for nine months. Just when you really need her to mourn.”
Guido, a close friend of Rachel’s, downplays Roxeanne’s story of being placed with all kinds of host families, including a nudist family. The editor-in-chief of Story talks in Shownieuws about ‘staying with friends of the Hazes family’. “She has found that quite difficult, precisely because she is also so sensitive (…).”
“Quite intimidating!”
Colleague René Mioch is shocked by the revelations of Roxeanne. He says: “When you see these revelations, you really think, well, I hope very famous Holland is watching and everyone who has kids, because she tells quite a few things about what happened to her.”
He continues: “She says that her father had to do concerts and she was kept with families and a different family each time. In one case she mentions very specifically that she was with naked runners. So she sat all night as an 11-year-old girl next to an old, naked man. She found that quite intimidating. I understand that.”
‘Can not imagine’
Guido seems to seriously doubt Roxeanne’s statements. “I’ve known Roxeanne for a while. I know the whole Hazes family quite well. Look, Rachel’s been gone for nine months, I just can’t imagine it. I went through that period. She was 11 and little André 10.”
Presenter Dyantha Brooks: “But you say: ‘I experienced that period’, from how close?”
Guido: “Well, up close. I just know the family well and I know Rachel just put a lot of effort into doing everything right, didn’t I? It was really quite terrible to live with André at times and of course those children experienced that too.”
“I’m not saying that!”
René: “But you’re saying that what she’s saying isn’t true?”
Guido: “No, you won’t hear me say that at all. (…) This is her perception. This is how she experienced it and that is sad enough of course. She is a very sensitive girl.”
Dyantha: “But you still question whether it happened that way?”
Guido: “No, I don’t doubt anything. You don’t hear me say that at all. I’m just saying: that’s her perception. I say: I can’t imagine Rachel, whom I know very well… And it’s…”
Dyantha: “Then you doubt it, don’t you?”
Guido: “No, no, no. I just can’t imagine Rachel being gone for nine months. I think she may have experienced it that way, but with all due respect: an 11-year-old girl sees it differently than when an adult woman experiences it.”
Annoying enough
Dyantha: “Maybe it doesn’t matter, does it, if it was nine months or even nine days.”
Guido: “It’s her experience and that’s annoying enough.”
Dyantha: “It is indeed about how she experienced that as a little girl and apparently she needed her mother more than she was there at the time.”
Guido: “That is absolutely clear and it will still be. I am really convinced that one day it will just be okay.”
Rachel and Roxeanne have been wrangling for quite some time.
