Lisa Van Rossem faced criticism regarding her posture while sitting in the candidate’s chair during her appearance on the television quiz De Slimste Mens ter Wereld. Viewers commented on her sitting posture and felt she appeared lacking in elegance, shifting attention away from her actual quiz performance.
The singer acknowledged the remarks openly rather than ignoring them. “I received quite a few reactions about my sitting posture and my limited elegance,” she stated. Adding self-deprecating humor to her response, she admitted that elegance is not her strongest side. Van Rossem joined the quiz as a new candidate on October 21, replacing Galatea Rommelaere, who had to say goodbye after one episode.
The Decision to Stay Authentic
The feedback led the singer to think about what she should change about herself for television. Ultimately, she decided against changing her natural behavior just to satisfy critics. “And I have come to the conclusion: I think we should mainly remain ourselves,” she said. She emphasized that mutual approval is unnecessary as long as basic civility remains intact, concluding that you do not have to like each other to be respectful.
