Declaration Humberto Tan against Albert Verlinde for defamation | Stars

entertainment">“The statements are defamatory and yes, reported,” Tan told the ANP when asked.

entertainment">Verlinde accused Tan in Shownieuws of sending cross-border messages to his female guests. According to Verlinde, Tan “tended to contact women who were nice after the broadcast.” Tan responded directly to this via Twitter on Monday. “What a cold! Pure libel. After the broadcast, I thanked all guests via app: men and women. Nothing else to do with The Voice.”

entertainment">Saturday it became clear that The Voice of Holland will not be broadcast for the time being due to reports about possible sexually transgressive behavior and abuse of power. RTL and producer ITV have launched an independent investigation into the allegations. Band leader Jeroen Rietbergen subsequently admitted that he had had relationships of a “sexual nature” with women involved in the program. The Voice coach Ali B has been reported to, allegedly by a former candidate of the program. His colleague coach Anouk announced on Instagram on Sunday that he would leave the program.

entertainment">Tan received a lot of acclaim on social media. “Humberto Tan always sent a text. Making that suspicious indicates that you do not know the difference between transgressive behavior and care for your guests,” writes Susan Smit on Twitter. Claudia de Breij writes that Tan’s apps are “always courteous and fun”. “Maybe we should rely a little more on what women say who are victims of the behavior of certain people in showbiz and less on what colleagues think they should insinuate.”

entertainment">Former chairman of the KNVB and Ajax Michael van Praag writes on Twitter that it was “neat and friendly thank you apps”. „I would report that Verlinde, Humberto Tan. That man has fallen from lack of weight. And then the shit hits you in the head.”

entertainment">Reporter Jordi Versteegden spoke with the RTL presenter.
