It is a plague for Roxeanne Hazes, even though she chooses to continue using her surname: she is confronted with her questionable mother Rachel in every interview. “No sense!”
Roxeanne Hazes consciously chooses to continue using her surname, but the logical consequence is of course that people associate her even more emphatically with all the family vicissitudes. She has been agreeing with the media for a number of months that she does not want to be asked questions about her mother and that works well.
Unsafe feeling
Rachel’s name is nevertheless mentioned in every interview, because a show medium naturally wants to make it clear that it is not their choice not to talk about it. It causes a short-lived awkward moment everywhere, as recently with Khalid & Sophie, and now also in the Flemish magazine Humo.
Roxeanne herself talks extensively about her terrible childhood in the interview. “When you become a mother, you automatically think about your own childhood: what did I inherit from the past? When did I feel unsafe, unloved or unwanted? That raised a lot. I often felt unsafe as a child.”
Roxeanne falls silent
Because of that whole thing interview with Humo to read it, you really need to reserve an hour. Roxeanne sits incredibly on her talking chair. She sat with the journalist on duty for an hour and a half. Only when the interviewer starts talking about Rachel does the conversation come to a standstill: “You would rather not talk about your mother, you indicated in advance.”
Roxeanne is then very short and measured: “No.”
‘Do not feel like’
De Humo makes another attempt: “There is a lawsuit against her, so you are not allowed to say anything about that?”
Roxeanne: “No, and I don’t feel like doing that either.”
Humo also mentions her ego-tripping brother André Jr. “’André Hazes: Crossroads’ was recently broadcast in Belgium, a five-part documentary series in which he followed his withdrawal from alcohol and drugs. Your mother also regularly appears in the gossip press. You seem to be the only one in the family who knows how to stay out of the books.”
About Dreetje
What does Rox have to say about that? “I consciously choose that. I am an open person by nature, but I prefer to talk about things that will also benefit someone else.”
She concludes: “What I absolutely don’t like is mud-slinging or stirring up family troubles. I don’t think that’s chic, that’s not in me.”
