“You can already see that Ali B, who has two complaints against, comes with an expensive lawyer,” says Dekker. “These girls can’t afford that. Something has to be done so that these ladies are also well represented and well helped.” RTL should not play a role in choosing the lawyer, says Dekker. “Set up an independent fund so that the ladies can choose for themselves. And also be able to receive good advice and support about what is the right path to embark on. And help to process the traumatic experience.”

Mores seriously doubts whether candidates from The Voice knew that there would be a confidential counselor they could turn to with complaints. “I don’t believe that was guaranteed,” said Dekker. She emphasizes that it is not the women’s fault, as John de Mol claimed in the Boos broadcast. “They come there full of expectation to participate and do not even dare to complain if the heating is too high. You shouldn’t blame those women, you should protect them.”

The hotline was established after the affair surrounding the misconduct of casting director Job Gosschalk to safely report abuses in the cultural and creative sector. Mores advises the complainants on how to deal with their grievance and what their options are.
