Trivia

In the Netherlands, de Mol publishes the lifestyle magazine Linda for women. The magazine made headlines when it gave away a call boy as a subscription bonus. De Mol was then cursed as a "pimp" and accused of human trafficking. She was also shown lightly dressed on the cover of the magazine.

The punk band Terrorgruppe released a song about her with Linda on their album Musik für Arschlöcher in 1995 , in which samples from a dream wedding were also used.
