Humberto Tan sees the dispute that Yvonne Coldeweijer has with Talpa as karma, he sneers at the desk of RTL Tonight. “Yes, karma is a bitch, haha!”, responds his studio guest Albert Verlinde.
It’s been pretty good this week juicy news: Yvonne Coldeweijer takes Talpa to court. Many experts think that John de Mol stopped serving her two-year contract because she allegedly committed a breach of contract behind the scenes of her never-realized show De Juice and is now active again with her juice channel.
Karma
The fact that there will be a lawsuit is really juice, says Albert Verlinde at the desk RTL Tonight. “Or karma!” Humberto Tan immediately shouts. More than three years ago, he himself became a victim of Yvonne, because he felt forced by her to announce his divorce from Ineke. They were together for thirty years.
Albert then: “Yes, karma is a bitch, haha!”, he says. Dan: “I think she would have received half a million a year from Talpa to do this. Between 300 and 500 thousand euros. That is a lot of money. That starts on August 1, you go on air in October and then you get it for two years. However, that program never came about.”
Tension
If such a program is not introduced, a difficult situation will of course arise, according to Albert. “Talpa will have cheerfully continued to pay until January and after that it didn’t continue at all. Then you get nervous: what are we going to do with the last year and a half? I don’t think they have been able to figure it out.”
Humberto thinks it is really Yvonne’s fault: “Aren’t you surprised by that? Because you know John de Mol too and from my own experience, and I also know from other people: once he has made an agreement with you, he sticks to it, he pays you, so then I wonder: what happened there?”
Nice and correct
Albert indeed knows John to be very correct in these types of situations. “That’s right. I experienced exactly the same thing, didn’t I? I also had a program that is of course still talked about every day, 6 Inside, and John duly paid me for the entire two years. Very nice and correct.”
He continues: “I think this is about how she handled the team, that she actually sabotaged it and that she did not keep to agreements.”
Humberto: “Exactly.”
Screwed
It really depends on Yvonne, Albert also thinks. “That she actually screwed people, and not in a pleasant way, so it’s all very annoying what happened. She really threw people under the bus at one point.”
Can she take her position as juice queen again? “The juice is completely over. She has started again, but that is not juice, but just lukewarm cola without a shot. Nothing happens anymore.”
