entertainment">She reveals that to photographer William Rutten in the Show news-serie On The Sensitive Plate. “At a certain point things weren’t going so well with me that I got to a point where I didn’t want to anymore. I really hate that. It wasn’t about my boyfriend being assaulted anymore, it was just about hitting a cop.”
entertainment">In his own words, Martens stood up for a friend ‘who was mistreated by a police officer’ during a night out in Castricum. According to the OM, she then hit the agent, but the actress remains of the opinion that she only pushed him. “I’ve been accused of something I didn’t do. Naturally, an impulsive reaction arose. I was emotional and I was also just really angry. But that doesn’t mean I hit or assaulted a cop. When I see someone being mistreated, I am someone who stands up for someone. I really wanted to prove that. I wanted to prove my innocence and go against everything, but I was advised against it.”
entertainment">She regrets it a lot afterwards. “I lost a lot in the end. If I had known that I would eventually have lost everything in terms of work and contracts, I would certainly have opposed it.
entertainment">Martens received a community service of 45 hours and also had to pay compensation of 300 euros to the victim. She accepted the sentence and waived the opportunity to resist.
