After the lawsuits related to his fight for divorce from Frank Jansen (76) were completed, he became quiet around Rogier Smit (48). Until last week he posted a message on Instagram in which he found out that his father is not his biological father. “For the past 48 years, I have always felt restless because I have felt misunderstood and for that reason it may have been difficult,” he wrote. “For me and for friends. This is because in recent years I have had the feeling that something was wrong ”. Roger says he now he knows the cause. “The ‘father’ I grew up with is not my biological father.”
Seek attention
For her ex-husband Frank Jansen, the fact that her ex-father-in-law is not Rogier’s biological father is completely new. “I don’t know anything about it,” Frank tells Story. “Of course I know the good man. I’ve always called him Silent Willy. He never said much. I remember Rogier taking me to our first Christmas party at his family home. We had a Christmas dinner and he said: I’ll put you next to my father, because he doesn’t speak much. Later in the evening, Rogier remarked that we hadn’t said much. That’s right, because that man didn’t actually say anything. Everything that came out of his mouth was yes or no. Then he stops. And now this man wouldn’t be his biological father. This was never discussed during our relationship. Maybe it’s something Rogier invents to get attention. I do not know…’
Identity problems
Frank can’t remember Rogier ever sharing his feelings with his parents. ‘No. And hey, he had more identity problems. He always makes him worse than he is, if I may say so. He comes from a very harmonious family, grew up with two lovely sisters and was completely pampered. He was an adorable baby with blonde curls who already required a lot of attention in the crib. And he’s still working on it. I have a friend that I once told that he looks so much like his father, to whom he said: But I was adopted. So you will look alike. But I don’t know what exactly happened in Rogier’s family that is letting him out now. I no longer have contact with Rogier, nor with his family. I’m fine with that. ‘
