Three days before the next to last broadcast of Veronica Inside John de Mol and associates were full of praise for Wilfred, René and Johan. Johan even writes that a daily program was offered. But since the famous statements of the table guest, it is remarkably quiet from the camp of De Mol. “After my joke sparked a media war, we didn’t hear from those gentlemen anymore. That’s why I don’t know what to say to them. Do they have a lot of knowledge about television, or are they just notorious opportunists?”
It looks like the cake is over for Derksen. Moreover, he has found the perfect time to step out of the program. “I have no idea if you’ll ever see me again in Veronica Inside, but there is no nicer farewell than pulling out the plug after a 1.7 million audience rating. “
In the broadcast, the former footballer gave a monologue about Akwasi, who gave a speech about racism in the Netherlands during the Black Lives Matter protest on Dam Square. Johan asked Akwasi to find a very annoying raging rapper. The sports journalist said of the Black Lives Matter protests that on TV he only sees screaming critters getting the space. He and table mate René van der Gijp cannot imagine that the racism problem in the Netherlands is as bad as they say.
They then called the man who stood in Leeuwarden dressed as Zwarte Piet at the BLM demonstration a hero. Derksen then jokingly added, “Are we sure that’s not Akwasi?”
In the last broadcast it all goes wrong if Wilfred Genee does not join René and Johan. “We didn’t prepare the broadcast,” René told RTL Boulevard. “Normally Johan would like to know in advance what will happen. But he was not aware that there were people at the table and that Wilfred would put us before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. You can assume that it is ready.”
According to the former athlete, “something snapped”. “This is not so easy to solve. I am so disappointed in that guy.” Wilfred also received a lot of criticism from Angela de Jong and Humberto Tan about his role in the broadcast.
In the video below, RTL Boulevard speaks extensively with Johan about the issue.
