Comment on The world knows Wim Hof as "The Iceman", his family suffered domestic violence parent

No fan of Wim Hof, but this might be yet another case of someone getting convicted in the court of public opinion. Trial-by-(social)media. Hof appeared on Dutch TV yesterday, and made a case for himself just as plausible as the Volkskrant piece. Claimed they were out for his money and revenge. Not sure what is true, but I'd say let a true legal court decide that.

If you actually read the article, the legal courts already decided he was guilty of domestic abuse quite a few years ago.

If you sell yourself as a public character, then I think it’s fair to put that image on trial

‘In every relationship people use terms of abuse for each other,’ says Hof in an email. ‘I don’t remember this one.’

Besides the rightly pointed out conviction and numerous third party sources quoted by the article, this quote by the man himself

‘In every relationship people use terms of abuse for each other,’ says Hof in an email. ‘I don’t remember this one.’

Tells it all.

He was already convicted of abuse in the Dutch courts years ago.
