Voice candidate Nienke Wijnhoven reports sexual assault against Jeroen Rietbergen | Inland

On Wednesday it became clear that there are now two reports against Ali B for sexual offences. The rapper and coach of the TV program “completely disputes that he committed any criminal offense,” said his lawyer.

“The client has long hesitated about filing a report. Mainly because she put the blame on herself. Due to all the developments, she now sees it differently and finally dares to take this step,” says Diekstra. “Although the client still feels obliged to explain exactly what would have happened and why she went along with it for so long, she has decided not to run the risk of damaging a criminal investigation. Partly for this reason, she will not go into the substance of the matter for the time being.”

Lawyer Peter Plasman, who acts as spokesperson for Rietbergen, says that the musician strongly denies the assault.

‘See above a studio’

At Beau, Nienke Wijnhoven told Monday evening that Jeroen Rietbergen had touched her. She said that at one point after a show, he invited her to “see above a studio.” When the candidate walked upstairs, it turned out that there was no studio. “At that moment he touches you and you think: did I unconsciously send a signal after all? Wait, miscommunication. At that moment you first look to yourself.”

At that moment, “he started to feel a bit,” said Wijnhoven. She added that she finds it difficult to share her story because she signed a contract that described all kinds of conditions that she does not remember exactly. “And I felt guilty because you’re in a relationship and you’re like, ‘Did I cheat on you? Even though we haven’t had sex.”

On Saturday it became clear that the program The Voice of Holland has been temporarily discontinued due to sexually transgressive behavior. Band leader Jeroen Rietbergen then acknowledged that allegations against him are correct and he resigned. He had had relationships of a “sexual nature” with women involved in The Voice of Holland, he reported. On Monday, Linda de Mol announced that she has broken off her relationship with Rietbergen and that she is suspending her work for the time being.
