Yesim Candan is completely upset about Marcel van Roosmalen’s column. The one-day Democrat finds the columnist ‘misogynistic’. “I’m a single mother!”
48-year-old Yesim Candan is known for her candle performance in Today Inside, her close friendship with Ferry Doedens and her columns at RTL Nieuws. It was therefore very surprising to many people when she suddenly turned out to be on the D66 candidate list last week, and quite high too. Her political adventure did not last long.
Glutton Candan
Yesim withdrew no time back after her statements about Sigrid Kaag were stirred up and NRC reported that she also had discussions with Forum for Democracy. According to Marcel van Roosmalen, she is simply a glutton with an insatiable hunger for attention: “She likes everything. No bite is too big, no, the spoon is too small.”
Marcel has also met that woman and in the few minutes they spoke she also asked him for all kinds of favors. “She also wants a role in GTST, her own talk show, at the desk at Boulevard, is also a writer, can sing and feels passed over that she has never been in a suit on The Masked Singer.”
‘Unfriendly to women!’
Yesim is now completely upset about those statements. She also states that she did not ask him for the telephone number of the editor-in-chief of NRC at all. “Marcel, you have to write truths in your column. It was about Busymakers and not about NRC.”
She continues X: And from ‘section to section’: I’m a single mother who doesn’t hold her hand on anyone. This is called entrepreneurship. Kudos to your misogynistic column 👏🏻.”
Sexism card
In other words: in the absence of counterarguments, Yesim is very quick to pull the sexism card. By the way, she was in one this morning column on the RTL News site responded to the fuss about her short political adventure. In this she emphatically chooses the victim role. “The smear that came over me within 24 hours was unprecedented.”
“On reflection, I should have mentioned during the admissions interviews that I had sometimes been critical of Sigrid Kaag in my columns. And I should have reported who I spoke to and why. I didn’t think this through and that’s entirely my own fault. But it was a mistake without bad intentions.”
