gers pardoel breekt stilte over jarenlang verboden contact met zijn kinderen
Amsterdam, maandag, 2 maart 2026.
rapper gers pardoel heeft voor het eerst openlijk gerept over het gebroken contact met zijn kinderen. in de podcast pass de aux bevestigt hij dat hij zijn zoon gouw en dochter rocci al drie jaar niet heeft gezien. de reden? volgens pardoel verspreidt zijn ex-partner sélina van gool leugens over hem. zij zei in de rechtbank dat hij zijn kinderen opsloot en een gedragsstoornis heeft. beide beweringen zijn volgens hem absoluut niet waar. hij wijt het ontbrekende contact aan haar verklaringen en juridische procedures. de kinderbescherming is herhaaldelijk betrokken geweest, zonder oplossing. pardoel benadrukt dat hij zijn kinderen nooit kwaad heeft gedaan. hij wil geen juridische strijd beginnen, maar zoekt een weg terug naar hen. de situatie speelt zich al jaren af, zonder einde in zicht. mensen mogen denken wat ze willen, zegt hij. de feiten liggen anders.
three years without seeing his children
Rapper Gers Pardoel has confirmed he has not seen his children, son Goud and daughter Rocci, for approximately three years [1]. The disclosure came during an appearance on the podcast Pass De Aux, where Pardoel spoke emotionally about the prolonged separation [2]. He attributes the broken contact to legal disputes following his split from former partner Sélina van Gool, who was also his longtime manager [1]. Their thirteen-year relationship ended in 2020, after which tensions escalated into public and legal conflict [3].
accusations and courtroom disputes
After their breakup, Sélina van Gool accused Pardoel of threats, physical violence, and psychological abuse [1]. She detailed these allegations in her book titled Intieme Terreur, which intensified public scrutiny [2]. Pardoel denies all accusations and claims Van Gool gave false statements under oath [3]. Specifically, he refutes claims that he locked away the children and suffers from a behavioral disorder—both alleged in court proceedings [2]. He asserts these statements directly impacted custody access and were instrumental in severing contact [1][3].
ongoing involvement of child protection services
The Dutch youth protection agency, known as kinderbescherming, has been repeatedly involved in the situation [1]. Despite interventions, no resolution enabling contact between Pardoel and his children has been achieved [2]. Pardoel describes the circumstances as deeply unjust, stating it should not be legally permissible for parents to be separated from their children based on disputed claims [3]. “It is simply a bizarre situation that this can happen in this country,” he said during the podcast [2]. His frustration centers on systemic failures to mediate or verify contested allegations.
public response and personal restraint
Despite feeling wrongfully portrayed, Pardoel has chosen not to file defamation lawsuits against his ex-partner [1]. He stated he does not wish to escalate the conflict through further litigation or smear campaigns [3]. On social media, however, he mocked the cover of Van Gool’s book, suggesting parody versions for use on future music releases [2]. This contrast highlights his attempt to balance personal grievances with public composure [1]. Supporters and critics remain divided, reflecting broader societal debates on parental rights and domestic conflict narratives [GPT].
