Victor Vlam finds it wrong that Albert Verlinde has called that he has a ‘stupid bastard’ because of his comments about Martijn Krabbé. “It’s a memory of never smoking.”
It has caused an incredible anger attack from Albert Verlinde: the comments that Victor Vlam made about the lung cancer of the incurably ill Martijn Krabbé. The MediaCiticus has made the link with the smoke history of the RTL 4 star and according to Albert he has a ‘stupid bastard’ for that reason. All very intense.
Respectful
What does Victor think of that? “I saw a lot of reactions from viewers and surprisingly many people think that Albert’s criticism is complete and totally unjustified. Yes, of course I agree. I have the idea that we spoke very respectfully about Martijn Krabbé and also dealt with the smoking history that he has. ”
His co-host Lars Duursma in the podcast The Communicado’s: “Yes, because you mentioned that this is a question that many people will have and that this is a question that Antoynette Scheulderman also asked him very explicitly in the article, because she knew that many people have that question.”
Legitimate discussion
Logical too, says Victor. “Yes, exactly. I really find it at all no wrong question to ask, because it is scientifically the case that 80 to 90 percent of lung cancer cases are caused by smoking. ”
According to him, you should be able to talk about that. “There is really an extremely strong link between smoking and lung cancer. I find it very annoying for someone that he is confronted with that, of course Martijn Krabbé in this case, but on the other hand: it is really a justified discussion. ”
Memory
Martijn’s lung cancer proves again that we really should never smoke again, says Victor. “It is really an extra reminder to not start it if you don’t smoke and if you smoke to stop.”
“In that respect, I think it is also good that things like this are being brought up. You should also be able to ask your things like that. “
