ALS JE MET YOLANTHE SPELT
Houses in Istanbul, Ibiza and the always exciting Vleuten. A own TV series, a own jewelry line and roles in Hollywood films. It’s all in a day’s work to Yolanthe Sneijder-Cabau. Her life may seem enviable in many ways, but the footballer's wife experiences the downside of fame and success like no other. The Netherlands has barely finished discussing her makeup fail or a new anti-Yo scandal arises. Apparently, she is still a bit of a the girl you love to hate.
This certainly applies to Tim den Besten. A little presenter from the VPRO who has been so wonderfully annoyed by the existence of Mrs. Cabau for eight years that he dedicated a documentary to it. Although ‘documentary’, we find that term a bit too much honor for this 14-minute video in which he lists point by point why he finds Yolanthe ‘so stupid’. Nevertheless, it still brings him a stream of media attention that many PR agencies would kill for. All the newspapers write about it, items are dedicated to it at . Here he called his brother Bram's reaction truly narcissistic: "It's a kind of wounded narcissism. Bram is someone who is extremely narcissistic and completely self-centered. If Yehudi has an uncle who is frustrated that he can no longer do that himself, but has to blame himself for it, then it's very sad to see him try to drag his nephew down. Just say good job, nephew, nice that you're doing that. I'm proud of you. Not all that. Burn that thing down. And that has to do with that narcissism." Aside from his family's accusations, Bram is a narcissist in everything he does: He broke lawyer rules to come out better, only wore fancy suits, and did everything to become a prominent public figure. and he was even delighted to be invited to De Wereld Draait Door. And all this because of HIS problem with Yo.
He has to think suspiciously long about the question ‘who are you without Yolanthe?’
Besides explaining how fake Yolanthe is according to him - she retouches her own photos and would only make the samples of her jewelry line herself - Tim also talks to a psychologist about his obsession. He has to think suspiciously long about the question ‘who are you without Yolanthe?’ and perhaps we come directly to the heart of the matter. Because without Yolanthe, Tim den Besten is, (yes we still hear you thinking: who the fuck is…) absolutely nobody. Okay, nobody is a big word, but in any case not someone who is invited to DWDD, not someone who makes the headlines as ‘documentary maker’ and not someone who is written about at Amayzine. It is therefore at least ironic to say that Tim achieves his media success at the expense of his greatest nightmare.
Meanwhile, we know that Yolanthe struggles with responding to negativity surrounding her person. Again, she avoids a direct confrontation, but did respond in the form of an Instagram post among her infamous retouched snapshots: ‘You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.’ The VPRO, which makes the video available on their site, would have received a letter from Yolanthe's lawyer requesting the video to be removed. If the rumors about Wesley Sneijder's fiery character are true, we would also advise Tim to avoid the dark alleys in and around Vleuten for the time being.
