Johan Derksen thinks that Antoinnette Scheulderman reacts very hysterically and vehemently to his criticism of her. “I found this outburst of hers so childish and so emotional,” he says.

The media year 2026 has started with a huge riot: celebrity interviewer Antoinnette Scheulderman has opened a frontal attack on Johan Derksen, whose biography she wrote. Johan has strongly criticized her bizarre TV series The Scent of Success, in which she tickled the egos of selfish types like Bas Smit, and she is angry about that.

Wounded ego

Antoinnette has lashed out at Johan in Gordon’s style, but he shrugs it off. “I haven’t slept a wink in a few days,” he says cynically in the latest episode of his podcast Greetings from Grolloowhich will only be online this afternoon, but Shownieuws was already able to show a piece yesterday.

She is a tiring woman, says the VI mustache. “It is a sign that a damaged ego can result in a very emotional tantrum. She does not understand it, because she says: ‘When I see him he is always very nice, but he says terrible things about me’, but… I have nothing against Antoinnette Scheulderman.”

Childish

Johan emphasizes that he simply expressed substantive criticism. “I think she made a great shitty program. Yes, I thought this outburst of hers was so childish and so emotional…”

Until now he had a little more respect for her, according to the VI mustache. “I always had a good relationship with her, because we have the same problem: if we live a bit wildly, the pounds will add up, right?”

Big girl

Nowadays Antoinnette is on Ozempic-like substances. “Now I saw her on TV and she had lost quite a bit of weight and she was really a radiant, beautiful woman. I thought: now you are such a beautiful woman, then you must become a big girl. Again: I have nothing against Antoinnette and she is still very welcome at our table.”

He concludes: “I’m not angry either and when I meet her I act very normally, but I know the world and I’m not burdened by it and if she tackles me again tomorrow: I’m fine with it.”
