Wow, what ugly behavior from 74-year-old Henny Huisman. He throws his own granddaughter Emma la Croix (23) under the bus by revealing her mental problems. “That man is incontinent.”
Henny Huisman thinks it is a shame that he no longer has as much success as his contemporary André van Duin. Well, how will that happen? The presenter talks to his granddaughter Emma la Croix Panorama the blame for the cancellation of his real-life soap. “I read in the media that it didn’t happen because I couldn’t sell it!”
Little confused
According to Henny, that is not true. Emma, who would also get a role in the real-life soap, is the reason he pulled the plug himself, he claims. “Due to a number of events, she is a bit confused and we would like to keep that private.”
In other words: it would not be due to Henny and his desperate image, but to the mental problems of his granddaughter. And that doesn’t sit well with her. “It is insinuated that the series will not continue because my grandfather ‘made a decision out of love for the family’ regarding my mental health,” she wrote Insta.
‘It’s not true!’
Complete nonsense, says Emma. “This is not true. Last June things were indeed not going well for me, but even before that it quickly became clear that my grandfather himself had lost his cards with the channels.”
She thinks it’s a shame that grandpa is now blaming her. “It hurts me that my mental health is now being used as a reason to stop this project. Especially because Grandpa is the person who has not been there for me for months.”
‘Wait a minute!’
Story boss Guido den Aantrekker is shocked. “This is of course particularly painful if you have to read this about yourself,” he responds Show news.
Presenter Eva Vloon: “If this is the case, then I understand why she says: wait a minute!”
Henny wrote to the show section to say: “We offered it to one channel (SBS 6) and not to all channels. They didn’t want it. Then we were going to continue pitching, when all that trouble started with Emma. Then I said: ‘We won’t do it at all anymore.’ She is too unstable to continue.”
She denies that on Insta, right? “The fact that she is now doing everything on Insta has to do with her condition.”
“You’re not doing this, are you?”
Henny means by this that Emma is still unstable. Crazy, Eva thinks. “Whatever is going on: you are not going to share that with the media, are you? Then you say: ‘Yes, indeed, they did not want the tape’, because then you are really protecting her.”
Guido: “Henny is a huge TV legend, there is nothing to criticize about that, (…) but it seems as if he is verbally incontinent. He just says everything that comes to his mind. You just don’t say these kinds of things, I think.”
Telegraaf reporter Jordi Versteegden: “I think it’s such a shame legacy. I really remember him from early TV, that’s the man for me. Used to be an idol, and now you treat your granddaughter like this.”
Below all standards
Jordi is completely turned off by Henny. “I think it’s really beneath you that you would give such a reaction tonight. I don’t know how Henny sat on the couch and wrote this, but I hardly recognize him either. He is normally someone you can have a great conversation with.”
Guido: “He thinks this is a kind of damage control, but in fact he only makes it worse.”
What does music expert Ronald Molendijk think? “It’s just oxygen deprivation. That’s what this is.”
‘It’s me!’
Ronald thinks Henny is a bad grandfather. “To be clear: I don’t know either person, but what I do know is that as a grandfather or father you always take the blame yourself. It is always your fault to completely spare your children or grandchildren. Whatever happens, f*ck it: it’s me!”
He continues: “Even if you accidentally misspoke, you can still think afterwards: Holy shit, I fucked up. There are plenty of ways to say you shouldn’t have said it.”
Apparently Henny finds his own image the most important, according to Guido. “He probably does it to take it away from himself, saying: it wasn’t my fault. And I find that particularly painful…”
