“You’re Too Close to Rachel”

Guido den Aantrekker gets a big slap on the wrist because of his close relationship with Rachel Hazes. “At Shownieuws they can better portray that he is her spokesperson!”

The way in which Guido den Aantrekker reports on the vicissitudes in the Hazes family in his Story magazine and at the Shownieuws desk is leading to more and more resistance. He has a very close relationship with Rachel Hazes, but that is not always mentioned. Clumsy, think the men of the podcast Nasty Boys.

Criticism of Guido

Journalist Bas Paternotte thinks that Guido reports far too biasedly on the current inheritance issue, he says in the podcast. “What strikes me about Guido is that he… I find it unpleasant. It must also be unpleasant for him. (…) I’m a bit like: aren’t you too close to it? Aren’t you too involved with this woman?”

His co-host Jan Dijkgraaf, columnist and biographer of the Meilandjes, points out that Guido complains about the fact that competitor Privé has published ‘snippets’ of André Hazes’ will. “But if such a controversial will of another star (…) were on his desk, he wouldn’t know how big to put it in his magazine.”

Spirit of will

Even in the inheritance issue, Guido stands firm behind Rachel. Dubious, says Jan. “Then Guido comes up with the most ridiculous justification for her possible alleged behavior that there is and that is: ‘Yes, you have the letter of the law, you also have the spirit of the law.’”

He continues: “He is actually saying: that clause was indeed there and divorce proceedings were underway, but they were still together, because they quarreled so often and then she was gone for a while, but they were very happy in the last year and they has meant a lot to him in the last year. Yes f * ck it, there was a real divorce procedure!”

Ridiculous

Jan doesn’t trust Rachel at all. “Of course it’s ridiculous to say the moment someone is dead – and that’s why I don’t trust Rachel Hazes an inch -: ‘Oh, dear people, I’m going to withdraw the divorce proceedings from a dead person.’ Yes, what the f*ck. That only means one thing.”

He continues: “That means that you know the consequences of the divorce proceedings, namely that the honey pot will pass you by. And that honey pot isn’t going to the state or anything. No, it goes to your own children’s blood. So every euro she took from the estate of André Hazes, she actually stole from her children.”

Keep distance

It is striking that Guido defends this, says Jan. “You are very low if you are going to steal from your children.”

Bas: “I would keep a little more distance if I were Guido.”

Jan: “Yes, that didn’t work out.”

Bas: “Or he should just say: ‘When it comes to this subject at SBS 6, put under my name: the spokesperson for Rachel Hazes.’ Then I’m fine with it. Then go all out and say: ‘In this case I am spokesperson for Rachel Hazes.’ Then I understand better. Then I don’t have an unpleasant feeling about it.”

Jan: “Then you don’t have to pretend you’re a journalist and that you’re objective.”

Unbelievable

Now Guido is unbelievable, the gentlemen think. Bas: “He can still do his journalistic work, but then it is just completely clear that when it comes to Rachel Hazes… He is not going to write about that. He does not interfere with that. Other than his role as spokesman. That’s how I would do it.”

Jan: “It’s a mother who steals from the children and then a journalist, even a gossip magazine, Story, comes and says: ‘Well, we don’t have the proof yet, folks. They’re just parts of a will.” Yes, just those parts that say that woman was no longer an heir.”

This afternoon is the verdict in the controversial summary proceedings about the legacy of André Hazes.
