Eva Jinek asked her studio guest Antoon with the utmost caution about his alleged love affair with Princess Alexia. A weak snack, according to the stars of Shownieuws.
Singer Antoon is making his musical comeback and that is why he sat at Eva Jinek’s talk show table last night. He was unable to avoid some questions about his alleged love affair with Princess Alexia. She was caught getting into his car on Budget Day, but nothing has ever been revealed about their relationship.
Pleuris
Eva broaches the subject on her talk show. “The last time you were in the news was in September, because Princess Alexia got into your car on Budget Day and then all hell broke out in your life. What was that like?”
Antoon: “Well, I was in the middle of my album process and that’s what I was mainly focused on at that moment, on making music. That was a lot of fun and nothing else.”
Eva: “It’s disturbing, isn’t it, to suddenly see and read your face everywhere?”
Antoon: “Well, I was already used to that.”
Outer category
Eva focuses mainly on what Antoon thought of the attention. “Wasn’t it extraordinary that it happened like this?”
Antoon: “Well, it was something different, yes.”
Eva: “Where are you going to celebrate King’s Day? In Dokkum (where the royal family goes, ed.)?”
Antoon: “I don’t know. I think I’m at a festival then. I’m not sure yet.”
Eva teasing: “But not in Dokkum?”
Antoon: “What is there in Dokkum?”
Eva: “Your new in-laws!”
Investigative journalism
Antoon seems to genuinely not know that the royal family is going to Dokkum this year. “Oh, oh, oh! I’m not aware, sorry! Dokkum…”
Eva: “This is investigative journalism, yes! Good!”
Antoon: “I should have read more carefully, sorry.”
Eva: “I notice that I am not going to climb Kilimanjaro this time.”
Anthony: “Oh.”
Criticism of Eva
Private boss Evert Santegoeds thinks it is a bad interview. “He got away with it very easily, of course,” he says at the desk Show news.
Reporter Janine Schuinder: “Maybe Eva can just come and do an internship at De Telegraaf, Privé or Shownieuws! Then she can simply ask such questions!”
Presenter Eva Vloon: “I understand it in a way. It was clear that the boy was not going to tell more. I can also imagine that you think: you know what…”
Evert: “But he doesn’t deny anything at all and that is striking.”
Weak bite
Eva notices that expert Jordi Versteegden is very annoyed with Eva. “I saw you look away. You can’t stand this, this interview?”
The Telegraaf reporter then: “No, I think Eva Jinek is Antoon’s spokesperson. Like: ‘You hated it, didn’t you, to be on the cover of the Privé like that?’ This was just very clearly rehearsed. He knew such a question would come.”
“That must have already been discussed behind the scenes in such a way that it had to be discussed in the interview, because it would be very strange if it had not been discussed. Then this is just a lame piece that we are looking at.”
