Theo Maassen, who has still not denied the accusations of domestic violence, is back on stage. He stuns with very intense jokes about his wife. “Do not resuscitate her!”
If you, as a celebrity, are accused of extremely serious facts that are patently incorrect, there is only one thing you can do: take legal action. Yet Theo Maassen has not even had a barking letter sent to De Privé, which has evidence of his alleged domestic violence. In fact, the comedian does not even deny the allegations against him. Significant.
Theo is back
Theo now returns to the spotlight. “Yes, he will respond tonight. Not on television or in the newspaper, but on the place where he feels most at home, namely the stage. The Toomler stage,” says Bart Ettekoven in the Show news from last night. “A comedy café where he stood tonight, to my knowledge the first time since the riot.”
The show expert continues: “We received audio recordings from the editors this evening in which he does respond to some things. Maybe it would be nice to listen to what he says.”
Do not resuscitate
First of all, it seems that Theo recognizes the damage to his image. “I’ve had a few strange weeks and I now know that the expression ‘there is no such thing as bad publicity‘… That’s not right!’, the clap comedian jokes in the show, according to Shownieuws.
He continues with an intense joke about his wife. “People have read that I have been accused of everything in the Private about domestic violence, but I would like to say that things are going very well between my wife and me. I got a present from her this week. A necklace with a pendant on it that says: ‘Do not resuscitate please’”
Marc Dutroux
De Privé is unreliable, Theo continues. “It said in the Private that I solve everything with hitting and sex. That’s just not the case. I recently solved a crossword puzzle.” And: “If it says in Privé that you are not okay, it feels a bit like Marc Dutroux telling you that you are not raising your children well.”
Theo also sometimes hits his wife in the behind, he finally jokes. “There has been a misunderstanding. A while ago my wife was really excited about something and I said yes. It turned out to be about intermittent fasting, I thought intermittent fisting.”
An evening with Theo is more confusing than ever: should you laugh, cry or just call the police?
Sound recordings
Shownieuws has the audio recordings in its hands, but does not make them available. “When you walk into a theater there are always signs: ‘Do not make video or sound recordings.’ So you are not allowed to broadcast that either. That’s why we had it recorded in our voice-over,” Bart explains.
The show expert continues: “Theo also concluded with a poem later in the show. This is how he joked: ‘She had a preference for the rude, so I gave her a few punches. Then I beat her continuously for seven days until she was carried away in the ambulance.’”
Tasteless
Expert Anouk Smulders cannot laugh at the jokes. “I don’t like this at all. At first I’m just not a fan of it, that’s one thing, that’s taste, but I do find it difficult about domestic violence, yes.”
Bart: “If it is true, then it is very painful. Then it is tasteless.”
