7 x delicious quotes from Sylvie Meis

Sylvie Meis is regularly in the news again because she said some things that didn't go down well. Where Linda de Mol and Chantal Janzen the likability is hanging by the proverbial butt, it's the opposite for Sylvie. Sylvie just has to open her mouth and she’s already circulating in a thousand group chats, and not in a positive way.

I interviewed Sylvie a few times when I still worked for Beau Monde. Even then she sometimes said something that didn't quite fit with the Dutch down-to-earthness and our just-do-it mantra. Her manager always wanted to eagerly erase some statements when reviewing the article, because he found some remarks not always very wise, but Sylvie always stood her ground. “I said that, and I stand by it.” I was very happy about that, because Sylvie scores. Again now. That's why I’m listing her most delightful quotes from the past years.

1. “Sometimes I really eat an ice cream. And then I also eat the cone.”
2. “I don't judge people if they don't like luxury, do I?”
3. “If I've been doing what I do at this level for twenty years, I'm not going to sit here with false modesty.”
4. “I am special. You can quote me on that.”
5. “I am clearly ambitious, but I am also clearly very feminine, I am very clearly glamorous and I am very clearly proud of myself and I am very clearly sexy and I combine all that, and I am also very intelligent. I think that is very difficult for the older man on television.”
6. To the question of whether she earned more or less than 100,000 euros. “More! Oh! Well, I would be shocked if it wasn't! Hahahahaha!”
7. “As a child, I already knew that something special was in store for me. When I was five or six years old, I once said out of the blue to my mother: ‘Mom, later everyone will know who I am.’”

Can I understand that people have opinions about Sylvie? Absolutely. But does she harm anyone? Are we bothered by it? Come on: isn't it wonderful that there are people like Sylvie who add a bit of color to life? I find it very entertaining (ljust read my Sylvie plea here) and she keeps her own (XXS) pants up.
