According to Wendy, her former business partner has removed some of the stock of the fitness equipment, but from a verdict in the hands of Quote shows that this cannot be proven. The missing stock consists of about 8,500 Disqs, devices with which members of the fitness club can exercise at home. The stock was purchased for more than 700,000 euros, but according to the presenter would have a market value of 3 million euros.
Although Robbert Boekema has indeed secured part of the stock, it is nowhere stipulated that as a co-shareholder he was not allowed to do so. According to the Gelderland court, it is Wendy who caused the bankruptcy when she stopped advertising on Instagram, an essential part of the business model.

The court ruled as follows: Quote: “As a public figure, Van Dijk had a certain role within the company. Because of her national fame, she was able to reach a large audience with the promotion of Disq. Because she ceased her activities, a chain reaction was set in motion, with the end result being bankruptcy. .”
According to the judge, the claimed unlawful robbery of the stock does not play a role in the bankruptcy of Disq. They have therefore come to the conclusion that the high-running shareholder conflict, rather than the story on the Disqs stock, is the direct cause of the bankruptcy. “It is not disputed that because of this [de ruzie, red.] sales declined, revenues declined and Disq struggled to meet its ongoing obligations, including employee wages.”

The SBS face started the fitness company Disq Mobile Gym Nederland in 2018, together with sports coach Robert Boekema. After the business partners clashed, the company went bankrupt in the summer of 2020. The presenter and her husband Erland Galjaard then concluded an agreement with the curator about a restart under the name Wendy’s Club.
