The talent show's bandleader Jeroen Rietbergen publicly admitted that he had sexual contact with women on the show years ago and has now stepped down.

In a statement BNNVARA, a broadcast company that runs Boos, said: 'In the spring of 2021, the editors of BOOS received stories about alleged sexually transgressive behaviour within The Voice of Holland.
'A call followed from BOOS presenter Tim Hofman in which he asked whether there are more people who have experienced something at talent shows that are not acceptable.
