Amor Vittone in the Tongelos tent of Die Burger at the KKNK. (Leanne Stander, Die Burger)
  • Amor not troubled by furore
  • Amor fans spoil fashion list
  • Stalker haunting Joost, Amor
  • 24.com: KKNK mini website
  • Malani Venter, Die Burger

    Oudtshoorn - Joost van der Westhuizen has been very upset by a man who humiliated his wife, Amor Vittone, in front of hundreds of people at the KKNK by referring to her breasts.

    "People like him, are not a good advertisement for the Afrikaans people, he said.

    An unnamed man went up to her on stage on Monday night in Die Burger's Tongelos tent, grabbed the microphone from Amor, and while he peeked at her said "You have the best fuckin' tits in the business".

    Vittone said she was so shocked that she thought maybe she'd not heard right.

    "I looked at the audience and saw two tannies (aunties) sitting with their hands over their mouths in shock.

    "I kept thinking: What must I do - I said something about style and that certain people had moral standards.

    "His attitude was kind of sarcastic," Vittone added.

    The audience cheered when she told him: "You don't speak to a woman like that."

    She decided to continue with the show "because I wasn't going to allow that idiot to get me under", she told Die Burger.

    "I kept thinking that security was going to act, but everything was head over heels.

    "My security man said he watched me to see if I gave him a sign to act, but I didn't.

    "The rest of the show was OK but I didn't enjoy it. He humiliated me.

    Joost van der Westhuizen was sitting behind the stage during the incident.

    'The man walked into me backstage'

    "I was reading Die Burger when I heard the man's words. I was very calm. I first made a (cell phone) call to see if I had heard right."

    "The man walked into me backstage. I grabbed him by the chest and pulled him into the tent. The master of ceremonies for the evening arrived at the same time.

    "I told him 'There are women and children here. You don't say things like that. And you don't speak to me wife like that'.

    "He responded: 'But she does have fucking beautiful tits.' "

    The man did not want to say who he was, and he left.

    The couple said afterwards that people like that made them stronger.

    "When it's going well with you, one shows character. When times are tough, it builds character," Van der Westhuizen said.

    He continued: "People like that have a negative influence on the Afrikaans 'volk' (people). They don't realise what they are doing to Afrikaans people.

    "But the way my wife handled the situation, shows what kind of person she is. She has respect for others."

    - Die Burger

    You will get bitten every now and then. This guy was clearly a bit drunk and giving a compliment. I think Joostie and his wife should loosen up a little. - Mortie
     
      RE;Get over it.
    04/04/2007 09:57
    That couple is so old aged.If you go to the KKNK you should expect something like this to happen. The track record of Joost being a real party pooper is so full because he is very much to full of himself.Its the KKNK and party poopers should stay home.Can he take a joke or does he have to bea pain in the ass at every appearance that she has to perform. - Dan
     
      show some respect
    04/04/2007 09:58
    you know, men like that are just scum. i dont get it. how would he react if some guy walked up to his mother and nade a comment like that. whatever happened to respecting women. and the sad thing is that little boy's learn from men like that, and grow up thinking that it is ok. some of these men are fathers. and why should we tolerate it? to all the men out there, please show women some love and respect, after all, we are the reason why you on this earth today.

      Re: KKNK Mess
    04/04/2007 10:07
    As a person who grew up Afrikaans,I am shocked and ashamed of the current Afrikaans Culture in our country. Seemingly every idiot with a "below the belt song" can now cut a CD and unfortunately festivals like KKNK and others creates a forum where these "artists" can fester and grow. These festivals provides oppertunities for gross misconduct by common Afrikaners through alchohol and moral disabandonment, much to the annoyance of other artists who are there to perform and promote their artistry. - Pieter van der Sandt
     
      How do you get over being a pig?
    04/04/2007 10:09
    There's giving a compliment to a lady in a decent manner, and then there is being a pig. And even if you had something to drink, that doesn't give you the right to act like an ass. It is a CULTURAL festival after all! - Koet

    04/04/2007 10:11
    I agree with Geoff, they are very nice to look at. Having met Joost before, I think he gave the guy a klap or two when they were 'talking' about his wife's breasts... - william
     
      Amore at KKNK
    04/04/2007 10:12
    You guys that think it's cool to swear and make remarks about woman in public are so uncool, raw and third world. Respect, respect and more respect, for others and above all, for yourself! A drunk can't give a compliment, it's an insult! - Auntie
     
      RE: show some respect
    04/04/2007 10:17
    That guy needs a smack! He's the type that give guys bad names and people from the area he comes form ... if i knew that guy i'd be so ashamed and embarrassed. He probably talks like that to all women - sees them as a sexual figures instead of a unique person. - Brumilda
     
      Compliment
    04/04/2007 10:20
    Amor, after having two births you should take it as a compliment that other men out there (even maybe if they are drunk) still likes your tits!! Wish I had that body after one birth. - Jo
     
      Heard this before?
    04/04/2007 10:23
    Is'nt it the same pair that where published in a weekly mag and the couple sued as it was not her on the photo?? Her music is not that great so something should keep her on the map. Sorry, Joost, ek sal my bek hou. - Son
     
      Geez
    04/04/2007 10:24
    Like Mortie and Dan said, yes the man may have been a bit drunk and yes, perhaps one can expect something like that at the festival. But still, men like that are an embarrassment so society. He probably wants other to regard him as sophisticated when sober, yet he turns into a scumbag when drunk. Regardless of circumstances, gestures/comments like that are repulsive and uncalled for. We are not cavemen. Shows what a dismal job his dad did in teaching him respect for others. - Barry

    to the people that thinks this was cool, get a life please - Joost
     
      its just boobies.

    i agree with you geoff. - mj
     
      Get a life!!!
    04/04/2007 10:45
    When I read the heading i thought something major happened to Amor. Please, she and Joost needs to loosten up. They were at a "FEES" after all - and that is how people act and behave. If you don't like it, don't perform there again! They are such an old aged couple. BORING to say the least! VIVA KKNK - Chuck
     
      Show some respect
    04/04/2007 10:52
    This guy is a drunkerd idiot, who doesn't have respect at all. How can he utter words like that to other man's wife? His father must teach him to behave like a human being not an unruly hound. - Aletta
     
      Amor
    04/04/2007 10:55
    Artists like Amor are so cheap, nasty and god awful. That you have to look at her breasts to find anything half good with her show. So too can be said of Meneer Hofmyer he's also awful. And a whole host of Afrikaans performers. - alfred
     
      Low class
    04/04/2007 11:03
    There is no debating this, that guy is low class and so are the rest of the guys that made similar comments on this page reagrding her breasts on this page. Common, low class, embarassments to any culture. - Shez
     
      Re
    04/04/2007 11:03
    Agree with the compliment but would like to differ with the method/manner used to convey the message to the lady, the behaviour of the unnamed person should by no means take away the essence of the message - Van wyk
     
      Amor who?
    04/04/2007 11:03
    Shame, it's been at least a week since the couple were in the Huisgenoot. You can't expect to keep your life private if you make your money in public. - Cynic
     
      Ek sal hom dik doner.
    04/04/2007 11:04
    If someone made such a remark about my wife, I would bliksem him hard. It is a matter of principle. You just don't say that to a woman. The fact that it was in public and there were woman and children watching, made it worse. Uncivilized SCUMBAG. - LM

      Media Whores Mustn't Complain
    04/04/2007 11:17
    Get a life! It's not like the guy fondled/groped/assaulted her... Amor is a media whore. If you are prepared to sell your wedding photos ("REAL BOERE-ITALIAN JOB") to You/Huisgenoot you are well and truly PUBLIC PROPERTY... People who shamelessly self-promote the little or no talent they possess should not be so aggrieved by a harmless, if mildly off-colour, remark. Funny how the moral guardians (above) think that this guy should be physically beaten... - senor neek
     
      Life goes on...
    04/04/2007 11:17
    Anyway, who cares? Maybe some super sensitve egos of wannabe popstars got bruised, it's the KKNK after all... Is this really a news worthy story?? Sure it was probably the most exciting thing that happened during Amor's "performance", someone had to wake up the audience. I salute the guy who abviously had too much KKNK "gees". - Jack
     
      Alfred's tits
    04/04/2007 11:21
    Alfred my man... You are a tit.. - anti Alfred
     
      The pot calling the kettle black?
    04/04/2007 11:33
    LM, to say you'll "bliksem him hard" is as uncivilised and scumbaggish as what our over-enthusiatic attendent did. We supposedly live in an educated and cicilised society and we are expected to deal with such incidents through common law - not with fisticuffs. A lot of people may not like the apporoach the guy took but it does not entitle anybody to react with criminal behaviour like assault. Why does Joostie baby-sit his wife? Doesn't he have a job to look after? Scared she'll disappear? - Tuffy
     
      It's the Culture
    04/04/2007 11:35
    If you have to go to the KKNK then you simply have to accept that you will be not only exposed to this sort of thing but splattered with it. It is after all a cultural event which refects the disrespectful and godless culture being showed off. - KKNK avoider
     
      Amor
    04/04/2007 12:29
    Ladies and Gentleman were are suppose to enjoy cultural experiences. RESPECT is and always will be the cornerstone of any event. People who don't have it should not attend public functions. I don't care how much you drink it is only common curtesy not to insult or storm the celeb. They are only human just like eveyone else. - Karin
     
      Unacceptible...
    04/04/2007 12:34
    Not a Fan of Amor, or any afrikaans music but, that was unacceptable. Regardless of whether it was a FEES??!! You just don't jump on stage and degrade someone. I think she should of called her boouncer though...could've given him a ass wipping!! - Chantal
