Brusselmans Sparks Outrage with Scathing K3 Critique: “torturing Old Boxes”
Flemish author Herman Brusselmans, known for his provocative and unfiltered commentary, has ignited controversy with a recent column targeting the reunited K3, the popular Belgian girl group. The writer’s remarks, published in There, have drawn criticism for their blunt and dismissive tone.
Brusselmans, a literary figure celebrated and condemned in equal measure for his refusal to adhere to social norms, has spent four decades challenging conventions through his writing and columns. His latest outburst occurred after encountering traffic congestion caused by a K3 performance at the Sportpaleis in Antwerp, an event he described following a drive to Turnhout after revisiting the work of Walter Van den Broeck.
The author didn’t hold back, stating, “The original K3 girls, who are oldies nowadays, but still look good, and as in the past, are able to wiggle their tits while tormenting Grandmas at the top and dancing the accompanying steps.” He clarified the statement was delivered with sarcasm.
Brusselmans’ work, including titles like Heden ik ben sober and ex, Drank, Embarrassing Old Age, consistently demonstrates a willingness to confront sensitive subjects and offer uncompromising opinions on Flemish showbiz, politics, and societal trends. His columns are characterized by a blend of banality, swagger, and sharp observation, delivered in a uniquely recognizable style.
