André Hazes Jr., a prominent figure in Dutch entertainment, is facing sharp criticism from television personality Tina Nijkamp.Nijkamp, a former channel executive, has voiced strong opinions about Hazes’ behavior and artistic merit, sparking a debate about his public image and personal conduct.

Nijkamp’s Critique: More Than Just a Cow’s Rear

Nijkamp’s disapproval extends beyond a controversial episode of Hazes’ TV show,where he was filmed with his arm in a cow’s rear. It’s just a very narcissistic artist, she stated, suggesting deeper concerns about his character and self-awareness.

TV Show and Personal Life Under Scrutiny

Nijkamp finds the TV show Hazes is currently making with Mart Hoogkamer for SBS 6 “unprecedentedly bad.” The incident involving the cow particularly irked her, but her criticism goes further. she expressed dismay over Hazes’ repeated infidelity, referencing his relationship with Monique Westenberg. I am so sorry that he has now cheated that Monique with that Noa again. I can’t stand it anymore, she said on the podcast The Media Week.

Narcissism and Lack of Self-Reflection

Nijkamp believes hazes lacks self-reflection and is troubled by the platform he receives. I think it’s so terrible that the man grabs and gets so much stage. I think it’s really a very narcissistic artist. How can you cheat your wife again? What do you think of it? she questioned.

Artistic Merit Questioned

Mark Koster, co-host of the podcast, echoed Nijkamp’s sentiments, questioning Hazes’ artistic achievements. Yes, but I also look at what he has performed as an artist. Bar and angry … so little. One number: Live. You can’t live on that, dude? You can’t do it on one such a hit and then with your tattooed body of: I am the son of, Koster said, suggesting Hazes relies too heavily on his family name and image.

Koster further added, And this boy indeed lives what you say on the entertainment pages, which he should actually live on.Sometimes I think: he has not cheated on that whole Monique, he pretends. Well,it will,but it doesn’t matter too him. There is no reflection of what it is, where he comes from where he wants to go.

the Trauma Excuse

Nijkamp addressed the common narrative of Hazes’ troubled youth, suggesting it can’t excuse his behavior indefinitely. Yes, I think it’s very much like that youth of his. But yes … I once heard a saying of a friend of mine, who said, ‘At a certain point it is what it is.’ We all have our traumas, she stated.

She elaborated, you have traumas, I have traumas. We have all experienced terrible things. And at some point you also have to go through and you can’t keep cheating your wife, because you have had a very annoying childhood. So it’s not possible.

Mart Hoogkamer’s Role

When asked about mart Hoogkamer, Hazes’ co-star, Nijkamp was dismissive. That has very little text too. He really only says: ‘Huh.’ She added, What does that man say? what comes out of? Nothing at all. He can only say: ‘beautiful man’, or ‘Nice.’
