“I find it extremely hurtful that we have to explain what was going on that year. We are talking about a mother who attempted suicide at the time,” said Roxeanne. The singer is being heard in a case about a power of attorney in the name of her mother in 2016, when things were not going well with the widow of the late André Hazes Sr.

Rachel believes that Roxeanne, Van Beek and Israel did not represent her interests properly during that period. Her daughter contradicts that. “She couldn’t manage it herself, so we did it for her. We did everything in good faith.”
On Thursday, it concerns a coaching process that Van Beek completed at the time, which, according to Roxeanne, cost 20,000 euros. Roxeanne stated that this coaching was necessary for Van Beek, because otherwise she would go ‘through her hooves’. The singer was not shocked by the costs at that time. “Now that I am also in therapy myself, partly due to my mother’s behavior, I can tell you that more costs have already been incurred in my process with my coach than Marieke did at the time,” Roxeanne said in court.
Roxeanne also mentioned that the period in question was a ‘hectic time’ for her. She had a miscarriage and then became pregnant again. About her mother, Roxeanne said that she ‘has always been a paranoiac woman who preferred to keep secrets indoors’. Mother and daughter have had bad contact with each other for years. There is also another case going on between the two parties, which concerns the inheritance of their deceased husband and father, André Hazes Sr.
Termination of power of attorney
Roxeanne and her mother’s two former business partners have “never been informed to this day” that they were no longer agents of Rachel. She said that in court today.
Royce de Vries, Rachel’s lawyer, cited an example during Roxeanne’s witness examination in which an invoice of approximately 6,700 euros was allegedly paid outside the period in which she, Van Beek and Israel were agents. However, Roxeanne claims that she ‘never received notice’ of the termination of the power of attorney, which would have expired on February 1, 2018. De Vries stated that a conversation took place between the parties on February 9 that year in which the termination of the power of attorney was indeed discussed.
Roxeanne also said that, as far as she can remember, her mother “has always been and remains competent to do things independently.” “She also had a bank card, she also bought a car herself. She also had access to the accounting, so she could also view specifications on the invoices,” says Roxeanne.
Melvin Productions
The possible sales plans of Melvin Produkties are also discussed. According to her daughter, Rachel has wanted to sell her production company Melvin Produkties for a ‘long time’. This would have been against the wishes of the deceased folk singer André Hazes. “No attempt to sell has been made,” Roxeanne said very firmly. “I would like to make that clear. Exploratory discussions have been held, that is really something different.”
Rachel herself would have wanted to sell the company, something her daughter was ‘hugely in favor’ of. “Because I see what it does to my mother to constantly be busy with my father,” says Roxeanne. Mother and daughter are also said to have had discussions about this together. Rachel also previously wanted to respond to a request from her son André Hazes Jr. to sell the production company, according to Roxeanne.
