BVShe has been silent for four years, until now. In an exclusive conversation, ex-Miss Belgium Brigitta Callens (43) finally tells everything. From the break with Sergio Herman to her anger about the ‘Zillion’ film that drove her to Austria, to that famous homejacking with Frank Verstraeten: no topic is taboo. “Our divorce papers say I was too prudish and too puritanical.”
The bell subtly announces BC. A nice apartment in Sint-Martens-Latem. We come unexpectedly, but not for the ex-Miss. “Call it strange, but somewhere I felt that someone would come by,” it sounds spiritual upon reception in a dressing gown and nightgown. “But above all, be welcome. And actually I was also hoping for your arrival. A lot has happened in my life and I have been silent for the past four years. But recently I am strong enough again. I am in full discussions about domestic and foreign TV projects and ready to finally tell everything.”
She does. On her sofa. The themes come at a rapid pace and unfold like a film. The eternal doubt about who really is her biological father. The paralyzing fear of the first wedding night with husband Jules because they had never been intimate before. Her flight to Austria. The astonishing phone call from the Netherlands during her relationship with Sergio Herman. The evening that Jean-Pierre Van Rossem wanted to kiss her full on the mouth. The fall from a flight of stairs that almost killed her. Her anger at ‘Zillion’ and finally: the true facts behind the home-jacking with Frank Verstraeten.

For four years she was untraceable and silent. But in her salon the sphinx becomes a waterfall. “There is only one real reason why I do this,” he says. “People can humiliate and destroy me. But don’t touch my family. My dad (the man who adopted her, ed) recently died, but how he and my mother in that film, I find it mean and petty. I am going to fight for my family. That is why I have hired a lawyer.”
