With his comments in Shownieuws, Albert Verlinde did not want to ‘bundle’ Humberto Tan with the cross-border behavior at The Voice. The showbiz expert stated this in the program tonight, after Tan had filed a complaint against Verlinde for defamation or slander.
Verlinde had mentioned Tan as ‘an example of the corporate culture that prevailed at RTL at the time’. He said he had ‘not realized that people would lump this together during the weekend of those heavy suspicions’. He attributes this to ‘the dynamics of the past few days’.
The showbiz expert emphasizes that Tan is not to blame for undesirable behaviour. Verlinde is also waiting to see whether Tan will proceed with the report.
