The 12th season of the original version of the talent contest format was suspended by RTL in the Netherlands after two episodes when a report by a program on Dutch public TV accused the show's musical director for sexual relationships with contestants (he said it was years ago but he has resigned from the show) and a panelist has been accused of "sexually transgressive behavior" (he claims innocence):
Said musical director has also had a long-term relationship with the sister of "The Voice" creator John DeMol (who is not directly involved with the format, having sold it to the UK's ITV in 2015)--Linda DeMol is a popular TV personality in the Netherlands, her credits including the original version of "Deal or No Deal," another format once owned by her brother.

Despite this, John de Mol did speak out, after being confronted by a "60 Minutes"-type show in his homeland... upon learning of the musical director's involvement, he came thisclose to punching the guy out:

The same show that originally broke the story. And Linda DeMol is said musical director's *wife*--no wonder John wanted to punch the schmuck out.
