Eva from ‘Over My Corpse’ responded to a message from Els from ‘B&B Vol Liefde’ on Instagram. The B&B star is under fire for sharing an ‘inappropriate’ post involving Eva on her social media. However, Eva herself does not want to know anything about it and stands up for Els.
“It is absolutely not my intention to hurt Eva or deal with this in an inappropriate way”
Els says on Instagram that she was supposed to meet Eva in Tilburg last Thursday, but that the appointment did not go ahead. “Unfortunately, Eva is not doing well and she had to cancel our appointment,” Els wrote in her message. ‘I’m sitting there, I don’t know what to say.’
Els realizes that good health is not a given for everyone. For example, Eva recently announced that she had completed treatment and had entered the ‘last phase’ of her life. ‘We all grumble sometimes, but hey, look at this beautiful young woman. So much respect for you beautiful dear Eva,” Els writes.
Despite her good intentions, Els received a lot of criticism after she shared a promotional photo of her own book in the same post. People responded en masse to her message and said they did not think it was appropriate that she was promoting her book while Eva was terminally ill. For example, someone writes: ‘This is very out of place’. And let someone else say: ‘Please take down the photo of your book achievement. Don’t make this post about you, but about Eva.’
Ultimately, Els decides to adjust her message and apologizes to her followers. ‘It is absolutely not my intention to hurt Eva or deal with this in an inappropriate way. Sorry!!!’ let them know. Later, Eva herself responded to the message and encouraged Els. ‘For all the negative reactions: I thought Els’ message was very sweet and there was nothing wrong with it! Not even with regard to the book, because you should be proud of that too! And I am also at Els.’
Els Goes from B&B to (Maybe) D&B: Awkward Book Signings and Terminal Illness
Ah, the world of reality TV: where every post is a potential PR blunder and every heartfelt message can turn into a social media roast! Just the other day, Els from B&B Vol Liefde found herself knee-deep in controversy over an Instagram post dedicated to Eva, the star of Over My Corpse. And let me tell you, it was about as subtle as a brick through a window—transparent, clumsy, and quite the spectacle!
“It is absolutely not my intention to hurt Eva or deal with this in an inappropriate way.”
Now, dear Els is no stranger to the harsh spotlight of social media scrutiny. Her intention was pure—an attempt to send some love to Eva, who’s bravely navigating the final chapter of her life. Yet somehow, she managed to pull a classic case of “Look at me! Oh wait, I didn’t mean to steal the show!” while sharing a promotional picture of her book. Yes, folks, it’s like taking your dying grandparent to a family reunion only to pull out a PowerPoint presentation about your career achievements. Timing, my dear, timing!
Els lamented about a canceled meeting with Eva due to her health, stating: “I’m sitting there, I don’t know what to say.” Apparently, what she chose to say next was, “Look at my book!” Not exactly the empathetic response one might hope for in such a sensitive situation.
Now, it’s heartwarming how Els recognizes that health is not a given; after all, it can be tougher than an old boot sometimes. But when one fan piped up, “This is very out of place,” you knew the collective facepalm from social media could be heard ‘round the globe. And can we just acknowledge the audacity of promoting oneself while someone else is going through what could be the toughest time of their life?
With her followers firing on all cylinders, Els caved to the pressure and issued an apology, desperately trying to navigate this minefield of emotions with the grace of a three-legged giraffe.
“It is absolutely not my intention to hurt Eva or deal with this in an inappropriate way. Sorry!!!”
But wait for it—Eva herself stepped in with some unexpected backlash. The terminally ill star didn’t want any part in the drama, stating, “For all the negative reactions: I thought Els’ message was very sweet and there was nothing wrong with it!” Perhaps a bit of a shocker, but it’s reminiscent of when your dodgy uncle shows up to family dinner after a long absence with a new wife—at first it’s unforgivable, but then you kinda have to accept it.
Moral of the story? Always read the room—or at least hire a consultant capable of translating the modern social media jungle into something coherent. And Els, sweetie, next time you feel the urge to announce your latest literary adventure during a sympathetic tribute, I recommend a little voice in your head that says, “Not everything is about you.” Because, spoiler alert: it isn’t!
So there you have it, dear readers. Just another day in the life of reality television where even the best intentions can trigger a social media storm. Remember, folks, sometimes it’s better to just send a card rather than a book promo. Now, where’s my popcorn?
Els from ‘B&B Vol Liefde’ has come under intense scrutiny after sharing an Instagram post that featured an image of Eva from ‘Over My Corpse,’ which many deemed ‘inappropriate’. Despite the controversy, Eva has publicly stepped up in defense of Els, expressing that she wants no part in the backlash.
“It is absolutely not my intention to hurt Eva or deal with this in an inappropriate way.”
In her online statement, Els mentioned she was supposed to meet Eva in Tilburg last Thursday. However, she was heartbroken to share that the meeting had to be canceled due to Eva’s declining health. “Unfortunately, Eva is not doing well and she had to cancel our appointment,” Els conveyed. “I’m sitting there, I don’t know what to say.”
Els expressed her understanding of the gravity of health issues, noting that many people take their well-being for granted. She acknowledged Eva’s recent announcement regarding the completion of her treatment, which marked a poignant phase in her life. “We all grumble sometimes, but hey, look at this beautiful young woman. So much respect for you, beautiful dear Eva,” Els wrote, highlighting the admiration she holds for Eva’s strength.
Despite her heartfelt intentions, Els faced backlash for promoting her own book alongside a message meant to support Eva. Social media users criticized the timing, stating it was inappropriate to mix self-promotion with a post about someone so gravely ill. One user remarked, “This is very out of place,” while another urged Els to remove the book photo, stressing, “Don’t make this post about you, but about Eva.”
In light of the overwhelming criticism, Els made the decision to revise her post and issued an apology to her followers. She reiterated, “It is absolutely not my intention to hurt Eva or deal with this in an inappropriate way. Sorry!!!” Later, Eva responded to Els’s initial message, providing support amid the controversy. “For all the negative reactions: I thought Els’ message was very sweet and there was nothing wrong with it! Not even with regard to the book, because you should be proud of that too! And I am also at Els,” Eva affirmed, showing solidarity during a challenging time.
