entertainment">Once back at the ‘old nest’, Patty (66) was furious that John de Mol had included in her contract that Talpa could fire the diva if she did not maintain her weight. In her biography, which the presenter released in honor of her 65th birthday, she said, among other things, that Talpa would give her ‘two months to get back to her old weight’. Otherwise the contract will be terminated. (…) „I think it is insane. Scandalous. But he’s really unlucky, because of course I’m not signing this. What is he thinking? (…) He just looks at it, I didn’t even continue reading.”
entertainment">In the new PodBast Patty takes presenter Bastiaan Meijer back to the moment when she was first confronted with her extra kilos by someone behind the scenes. “I have experienced that you are suddenly ‘too fat’ and not fresh and fruity enough for television. On the other hand, I also experienced that as a lesson. Actually, I went to look at myself and I thought: yes, maybe I should do something about myself. So, whoever once corrected me: I hereby thank them.”
“Maybe so”
entertainment">It took the former singer of Luv’ some time to process the ‘reflection’. “If something isn’t nice to hear, you don’t really want to hear it. But if something is true, then you should deal with it. And you only know that by taking a moment and getting through your anger. Then you think: hmm, wait a minute, maybe I should work on this after all.”
entertainment">Finally, the paragraph was amended and La Brard signed the four-year contract with Talpa. “We have made it ‘appearance’. So that I have to keep the same appearance for the duration of the contract.” A year later, Patty told Radio Veronica to understand the action of De Mol. “Yes, on the other hand, I can well imagine that if someone enters into a contract with you for a number of years, you must continue to comply with why he enters into that contract with you. We used to have contracts that even stated that you were not allowed to change your hairstyle.”
