It does not seem to bother Youp van ‘t Hek that Tim den Besten is currently sick in bed, because he writes a scathing column in NRC about the discredited VPRO star. “Woke psychosis!”
Shortly after his alleged misconduct on Grindr came to light, Tim den Besten announced that he is suffering from a rare form of cancer. Critics are therefore divided to what extent you should report on the three charges that have been filed against him. Johan Derksen doubts whether that illness is real, Iris van Lunenburg thinks it goes too far.
Mean column
In any case, it will not stop Youp van ‘t Hek from writing a scathing column about the discredited VPRO star, because he will start this weekend NRC pretty loose on Tim.
Youp reminds his readers how much Tim once cried on national radio, because he was resented for singing a traditional Sinterklaas song on television. He was crying like an ‘idiot’, according to the comedian. “Tim’s prolonged crying reaction was so strange to my old eyes that I thought: God child, are you sleeping enough?”
Woke psychosis
There are worse things in the world, Youp thinks. Then, according to him, ‘you won’t be whining about the word ‘servant’ that accidentally flew out of your overly enthusiastic mouth.’ “Isn’t there something completely different going on? This was a kind of woke psychosis. You can also be too good in these wonderful times.”
Apparently things weren’t going well for Tim at the time either, according to Youp. “He indeed did not sleep enough because he spent nights exchanging dirty talk with other horny men on a gay dating site.”
‘Was ready’
Does Youp sympathize with Tim? Anything but. “I was actually ready for a sexually explicit celebrity scandal. The suffering of a lonely soul that undoubtedly results in a pleasant cancellation of the loser in question.”
He concludes: “Boulevard, Shownieuws and all kinds of excited juice bitches like Jan Roos will have their hands full with this in the coming weeks. Conclusion? As a celebrity you have to pay more attention to your dick.”
