Dutch TV presenter Linda de Mol has ended her relationship with musician Jeroen Rietbergen.
The 57-year-old drew consequences from allegations of sexual assault against her partner.
The 50-year-old admitted to sexual contact with women from the TV show "The Voice of Holland" at the weekend.
But that was a few years ago.
Linda de Mol, also known in Germany, wrote on Monday on her media platform Linda.nl: "I've been in a terrible nightmare for a few days." She ended the relationship after more than 14 years and took a break from her work to process the incidents.
On Saturday, the TV broadcaster RTL Nederland canceled the popular talent show after allegations of assault and abuse of power became known.
Sponsors also withdrew.
At least one other musician is also accused.
Band leader Rietbergen resigned.
»Jeroen no longer lives with me«
The presenter and actress also wrote that she was not aware of the incidents.
»I have broken off my relationship in the meantime, Jeroen no longer lives with me.«
The casting format "The Voice" developed by de Mol's brother, the TV producer John de Mol, started in 2010. The German version "The Voice of Germany" has been around since 2011.
