Samantha Steenwijk has shot herself in the fingers with the hysterical way in which she responded to Yvonne Coldeweijer’s juice, according to media expert Victor Vlam. “War!”
She will probably forever be known as the celebrity woman with one of the longest toes in showbiz: Samantha Steenwijk. The reason? She reacted really hysterically to juice from Yvonne Coldeweijer that she was on diet pills. Entire lawsuit, all the trimmings. She claims to have lost weight while riding.
‘Relax a little!’
A ‘slightly more relaxed attitude’ is much more beneficial for celebrities, says TV expert Victor Vlam in his podcast The Communicados. “I think it really worked against Samantha Steenwijk that she started waging a kind of war against those juice channels. It has always been the case that there has been that kind of, yes, call it gossip about the stars.”
That is not something recent and not something that Yvonne Coldeweijer invented, he emphasizes. “That’s always been the case. Accept that it is part of it. See it as one of the disadvantages of being a celebrity. And if you look at it that way, deal with it as relaxed as possible.”
‘Nielson is an example’
Samantha can take an example from Nielson, according to Victor. “One example: Nielson who simply called his cheating on Beau a stupid mistake. To be honest, I thought that was quite nice refreshing. He also received some compliments for that afterwards. It wasn’t very nice to his wife, so you better admit it.”
He continues: “It’s just part of being a celebrity. I know it’s annoying, because you prefer to keep it private, but many celebrities appear in the media with their families if that suits them. So you can’t just show off to your wife when things are going well. The moment you cheat, it will also be negatively reported in the media.”
To remain silent or not?
What should you actually do if Yvonne makes a serious accusation? “I would say: if it is about something very serious, it is better not to remain silent,” said co-host Lars Duursma. “I think this also plays a role in the fact that I think juice used to have a smaller platform.”
Yvonne has become a serious source of news because of her reliable juice. “Nowadays, if Yvonne Coldeweijer says something, yes, you just know: it will be widely accepted. I think that makes it increasingly difficult to ignore completely, to argue: yes, oh, it’s one Insta account, let it go.”
‘Often correct’
Victor agrees. According to him, most of Yvonne’s statements are correct. “Very often, Yvonne Coldeweijer’s things are simply correct. I mean, she’s been wrong sometimes, but I think she’s almost always right.”
Phew, must that Samantha have taken a snack from the medicine cabinet after all?
