Linda de Mol walks all day long with her fingers crossed over her estate in the hope that the Voice riot will finally end, but nothing could be further from the truth. “There must be an interview”, says Luuk Ikink.
The benefits, but not the burdens: Linda de Mol has collected millions of euros for years thanks to the favor of the public, but now that the same public has questions about her role in the Voice abuse scandal, she does not give up. She refuses to be interviewed in an independent medium about exactly what she knew.
distrust
There are still an incredible number of question marks. Her (ex) sweetheart Jeroen Rietbergen, for example, states that he confessed to Linda at least one misconduct at The Voice years ago. She only denied that last month, eight (!) months after his letter of apology. That sudden turn has created a lot of mistrust.
At the same time, Linda had also known for some time about the alleged rapes by Ali B. She did not do anything about it within Talpa, ostensibly at the request of the alleged victims in question. An easy excuse, because Linda could also have discreetly advised her brother John de Mol to distance herself from Ali.
Slip of the tongue
The question marks about Linda and her role are piling up. The last question that arose comes from Sébas Diekstra, who represents several Voice victims as a lawyer. He has read Linda’s comeback column again and found out that the fallen TV queen is quite slipping in it.
And what does Linda do? Haughty silence. He no longer trusts the media. She only occasionally wants to throw up some celebrities in her magazine. A huge weakness of course.
Luke wants an explanation
Linda apparently thinks that this will all pass, says media expert Victor Vlam in his podcast De Communicado’s. “They had hoped that this whole story around The Voice would fade a bit, but it really hasn’t. A lot of showbiz riots have been completely forgotten after a month, but not this one at all.”
However, RTL Boulevard star Luuk Ikink fears for Linda that she will no longer get the genie in the bottle. “You still expect the interview with Linda. That has to come at some point, of course. Everyone wants to hear that and that should probably be on a talk show,” he says in the newspaper BLVD podcast.
Application
Luuk thinks that Linda should eventually take a seat in a talk show. “We are also allowed to come and have a good time, but they are now all in that magazine again, all those talk show people (LINDA. has a theme number about talk shows, ed.). That’s kind of weird cross-about.”
Colleague Rob Goossens: “Yes, but now that you put it that way… Perhaps this is a kind of cautious application, that she scanned this. That she thinks: I think that Khalid Kasem is a decent guy, I’m going to sit there.”
