Katja Schuurmann also became a victim of misconduct: ‘I could have made 180 statements’ | showbiz

Schurmann invites women who have gone through something similar to make themselves heard. “Girls and women who have been through things with men they didn’t feel comfortable with: Get up! Let’s know! Let them know what happened isn’t normal. Don’t blame yourself.”

The Dutch presenter stresses that it is never the victim’s fault. “Why I went, wherever I went, how it could have happened: All this is part of a narrative that seems to still be widely accepted. Acceptable and almost self-evident behaviour.”

Schurmann wrote that most men “are not,” but they have a message for the gentlemen who have crossed the frontier. A bunch of goofs, arrogant, narcissistic, insensitive, simplistic, self-centered, goofs. Take a look in the mirror. No, really look. what do you see? Who do you see? Let in your head what you said, sent, did. how do you feel? Do you feel something? Don’t you feel anything? Try to be there for a moment. with yourself. With what is true. Because unless you are very narcissistic, you know exactly what is innocent and what is not in the dark. Then think about how you want to move forward.”
