Last Thursday, the president of Vooruit opened up regarding his bisexuality in an open-hearted video. “It is an open secret. It is also my fight. I have a lot of trouble managing this”, he said then in this video of coming out.
But Conner Rousseau has also been the target of other rumours, with two people saying they felt uncomfortable in his presence, citing “inappropriate behavior”. Among these two people was a 17-year-old young man, whose case was dismissed by the West Flanders public prosecutor’s office, and that of another teenager of the same age whose mother was reportedly worried following certain messages that the politician would have sent. “Another complaint would also have been lodged in Antwerp with equally false allegations, but we have not yet been formally informed. It smacks of a witch hunt once morest Mr. Rousseau,” said the lawyer for the president of Vooruit.
”Conner Rousseau’s video made me think of Diana’s or Meghan Markle’s confessional interviews”
This Wednesday, the newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws had the opportunity to ask Conner Rousseau a few questions on this subject. “I still haven’t heard anything that makes sense until today,” he said. “It’s all regarding ridiculous gossip and things taken out of context,” according to the politician. “There was a report that I was questioned regarding,” he said. It was the subject of an investigation and it was dismissed because the investigation showed that there were no facts.
He still expressed feeling hounded, but he said he was “strong in his own skin”: “I entered politics to have an impact in this country, to meet the necessary challenges that we face and not to talk regarding gossip. every day. We’ll see when things calm down for me.”
