The party become known as ‘Project X Haren’ after the 2012 American film Project X in which three
high school students throw a birthday party that spins out of control. Video
trailers for Merthe’s party were produced, with
scenes from Project X edited in, and they were posted on YouTube. T-shirts
featuring Merthe’s face were also made, all without
her knowledge or consent.
Even after Merthe’s
parents had cancelled the party, the publicity didn’t stop. Local media
reported on the forthcoming event and teenagers turned up to have their
pictures taken outside the Weusthuis family home. On
the evening the party was to have taken place, about 5,000 teenagers began
gathering in Haren, many outside the Weusthuis house. When it became clear that there was
nothing to gatecrash, violence broke out and 500 riot police equipped with
helmets, shields and batons were brought in to control the crowd. Shops in the centre of Haren were vandalised and looted, journalists were attacked, cars were
set on fire or overturned and street signs and lamp posts were damaged.
