Why did Antoinnette Scheulderman choose to go so crazy on Johan Derksen on New Year’s Day? According to TV critic Victor Vlam, there is a strategy behind this. “This is deliberate.”
It is rare for celebrities to attack Johan Derksen as hard as interviewer Antoinnette Scheulderman did on New Year’s Day. It really read like an explosion of anger that we actually only know from Gordon. She described the Today Inside mustache as an “incredibly pathetic, conniving bully.” “You pathetic biggest bully in the schoolyard!”
Consciously chosen
TV critic Victor Vlam states that Antoinnette consciously chose to release this around New Year’s Eve. “I think the moment to publicize this was strategically chosen, because Johan is of course off for a few weeks,” he says at the table. News of the Day.
Today Inside is currently on winter break and will be replaced by Hélène Hendriks. “He still has his podcast, but if he had VI, he would of course have gone wild with her.”
Not a clue
Antoinnette has published all kinds of emails in which Johan is very complimentary about her. “Who’s right: I have no idea. I’m not really interested in it either.”
According to presenter Thomas van Groningen, Johan’s substantive criticism of the series in which Antoinnette licks celebrities is justified. “He can certainly criticize that series she made with those famous Dutch people. It was bizarre, right? ‘What does success smell like?’”
Sylvie Meis
Victor agrees. “If you are going to interview Sylvie Meis on a major prime-time program, you know in advance that you will receive criticism from Johan Derksen. That is not a surprise to anyone, so this is not the ideal moment (for a tirade against Derksen, ed.).”
Thomas: “If you ask Sylvie Meis: what success smells like, then Johan Derksen will certainly have an opinion!”
Victor: “Or Bas Smit. Exactly, yes.”
