Dieuwke Wynia, Matthijs van Nieuwkerk’s horror sidekick at De Wereld Draait Door for many years, risks going to court. She abuses a logo that belongs to BnnVara…
The controversial Dieuwke Wynia washes her hands of innocence, despite the fact that the enormous scandal about De Wereld Draait Door was also about her behavior, and not just that of Matthijs van Nieuwkerk. She has been maneuvering herself into the victim role for quite some time now and is now bringing it to light next level with a new book that she will publish: You Miss More Than You See.
Known from DWDD
Dieuwke writes in this book that she was the victim of sexism and could do nothing about it herself. Hypocritical, celebrity photographer William Rutten called it on television this week. “I know a lot of people who worked on the floor and they were much more afraid of her than of Matthijs.”
What is striking about that book? The famous logo of De Wereld Draait Door is on the cover. ‘Known from DWDD’, it says under the title. “A personal story about beauty, power and sexism in television.”
To the judge?
Is Dieuwke allowed to misuse the De Wereld Draait Door logo to get the cash register ringing? “She wants to use the DWDD logo on her cover book. But what does BNNVARA (owner of the logo and DWDD brand) actually think about that?”, TV authority Tina Nijkamp wonders. analysis channel.
A spokesperson for the broadcaster tells Tina: “Hi! There is (indeed) a legal objection to the use of our DWDD brand and logo. BNNVARA is considering this.”
DWDD sticker
Journalist Roelf Jan Duin finds the DWDD sticker on the cover ironic. He points into it Het Parool that that placard once guaranteed a bestseller. “Not unfunny, especially because DWDD was full of self-references. Music came from the ‘DWDD house band,’ literature was discussed by the ‘DWDD book panel’, science in the ‘DWDD University.”
Now that sticker is used by Dieuwke’s anti-DWDD book, which, according to him, ‘has not yet been freed from the misplaced sense of self-importance that made DWDD so insufferable’. “You can call it shameless vanity, but let’s be honest, it’s completely DWDD’s.”
