* On May 24th, Talpa Network announced that SBS 6's infotainment program "6 Inside" (featuring Patty Brard as a showbiz expert) would stop on June 28th due to bad TV ratings.
Patty appeared on the May 22nd broadcast with Albert Verlinde and Jan Versteegh. The program drew 132.000 viewers (market share: 4.4%).

* In an interview published in Story magazine on May 15th, Patty told that her biography (written by Michel van Egmond and Antoinnette Scheulderman) would be a "tell-all" book. The publication is supposed to come out next year when the diva celebrates her 65th birthday. The larger than life TV personality promised that she didn't avoid painful issues. "When you publish such a book, you have to be honest. And that's what I'm going to do. I don't know if people are afraid or nervous about it but one thing is sure: I will tell everything", Patty said.
One of the subjects that will be discussed is her difficult relationship with her daughter Priscilla. She will also reveal why she didn't sign a deal with RTL Nederland. Earlier this year, she was supposed to sign a 3-year contract with the TV network but at the last moment, it did not go through (see news posted on January 23rd, 2019). Rumour has it that Peter R. De Vries wanted to veto her participation on RTL Boulevard. In the past, the two media personalities were not on good terms (see news posted on January 3rd, 2017). "If I give up an important deal, of course, I do it for a good reason. I would be crazy not to accept it. It has got to do with some people who disappointed me. I will mention this story in my book," Patty told.
The biography will surely include a chapter about Luv' which made La Brard a household name and facilitated her TV career. The former Luv' singer will surely criticize Marga Scheide and José Hoebee as well as Hans van Hemert, the record producer who launched Holland's greatest girl group in 1976.

* On May 18th, Dutch singer Duncan Laurence won the Eurovision Song Contest with his song entitled "Arcade". The Netherlands had not won the competition since 1975. Patty congratulated the winner on social media. But she didn't appreciate Emma Wortelboer (Dutch spokesperson at the ESC 2019). She strongly condemned the special way Wortelboer announced the 12-point score from the Netherlands and how she expressed satisfaction when the final result was known.
Here's what Miss Brard said about the 22-year-old TV presenter on SBS 6's entertainment news program "Shownieuws" on May 19th (419.000 viewers/market share: 11.3%): "We are the Netherlands, we were represented for 30 seconds by someone who acted like an idiot, Emma Wortelboer. I regret it very much. Please give a good image of our country. Don't give the impression that we are a land of fools. And don't talk about yourself when you announce the 12 points...Who is your dealer? Please stop it! ".
Being a spokesperson was a dream come true for Emma. During her brief intro speech watched by 182 million viewers across 40 countries, she was very enthusiastic and even dissed the Queen of Pop who gave a mediocre performance at the ESC ("I'm so thankful for tonight and for Madonna's autotune"). After Duncan's triumph was confirmed, the young woman overreacted, cried and was shaking like a leaf. It was indeed an embarrassing moment.
