LINDA. editor-in-chief Karin Swerink and Managing Director Louise van Nispen talk about Linda’s return to the magazine in conversation with Adformatie. According to Karin, they had been thinking about covers without Linda for a while at the magazine. “We did that once with Michelle Obama and with the bikini number. So we were already working on that, but the events have accelerated this process.”
It is not yet known what the theme of LINDA.219 will be. And that will remain the case for the time being. “We are now thinking about how we are going to do that. What does Linda want to say? She may not say anything at all. We have many good ideas, but of course we can’t say anything about that yet,” says Karin.
After the riot surrounding The Voice, in which her ex-partner Jeroen Rietbergen is involved because of sexually transgressive behavior, Linda gives several statements via her own website in which she says she was not aware of Jeroen’s behavior. She also breaks the relationship.
After that it is quiet around Linda for a long time. Her TV jobs have been shelved and she was no longer featured on the cover of her magazine. It was recently announced that Linda can be seen again in Miljoenenjacht in September, her first presentation job since January, when her sabbatical started. We also know that the presenter is working on a new series, in which she herself plays.
