Yvonne Coldeweijer is receiving increasing support in her fight against Talpa. Both Angela de Jong and three men at the VI table bash Tina Nijkamps bestiealso known as the Yvonne hater. “Insane!”
It was very unclear to the outside world how things could have gone so wrong between Yvonne Coldeweijer and Talpa. John de Mol’s media company defends the discontinuation of her salary by claiming that she is impossible to work with, but according to the juice guzzler the situation is different. She explained in the AD what happened.
Lab coat
Yvonne wanted to accept Talpa’s proposal to save the eve of Net5, but could not agree with the team that had been set up for her. The first editor-in-chief in particular, Pascal van Meerten, had some pretty crazy ideas. “He came up with a formula that seemed a bit infantile to me,” she revealed in the newspaper yesterday.
What then? “I had to go on TV in a kind of lab coat and something was going to happen to ‘juice hunters’ who were lying in the bushes. That project leader was completely upset because I had complained to John. He went so crazy that he was taken off the program. So by Talpa, not by me.”
Tina’s bestie
What now turns out? That angry Pascal turns out to be the bestie to be from Tina Nijkamp, and according to Yvonne that explains why the Bathmen abacus has been so negative about her lately. At no time has Tina been transparent about her subjective attitude towards Yvonne and that does not benefit her credibility.
Tina reacts resignedly to Yvonne’s revelation. “I’m going to have a nice coffee with Pascal now!” she said to Yvonne yesterday. Well, by now that Pascal must be choking on his coffee, because he is receiving criticism from left to right for his bizarre TV idea to put Yvonne at a Talpa desk in a white lab coat.
No need
Wilfred Genee supports Yvonne in her decision not to go along with Pascal’s ideas. “Then I can imagine that you don’t need that,” he says Today Inside.
That white lab coat is really insane, says Job Knoester. “If that’s true, that’s really crazy.”
Wilfred: “That’s what I was about to say. That didn’t make any sense.”
René van der Gijp: “What did sound plausible is that she said: ‘Listen, I think as time went on, they started to regret it.’ That is possible.”
Common sense
According to Yvonne, John de Mol simply regretted his decision to offer her a platform and is now doing everything he can to get rid of her. “That could be possible,” said Job.
René: “That just sounded to me like I thought: that’s quite possible.”
Johan Derksen, who is anti-juice, said: “Then common sense returned.”
According to Johan, Yvonne’s honor has been damaged, but Wilfred says: “Not so much in her honor. She just made agreements and I think, whatever you describe René, they suddenly thought: oh, what on earth have we done? Now they have to go the other way and try to portray her in a certain way.”
Three months
René believes that Talpa should take responsibility. According to him, it was unwise to give Yvonne a contract without a concrete TV format on the table. “I also think it’s special, Johan, to give someone a two-year contract based on nothing.”
Job: “Yes, with such an amount. Nine tons.”
René: “You would rather say: let’s go for three months to see if we can develop something that you and we support. Or not? We got a contract here, but we had a program, but she just had nothing!”
‘It’s too late’
Job thinks that Talpa will back down in court tomorrow and that Yvonne should just get paid. “What I understand is that Talpa only started collecting statements in January, but that is too late. That is not building a file.”
Wilfred: “I think they indeed just misjudged it and that her story is not so crazy.”
AD opinion diva Angela de Jong thinks that Talpa was simply stupid. “When you bring someone in, you really have to have an idea of: what kind of program are we going to create?” she says in the AD Media Podcast.
Preschool television
Angela thinks it is very good that Yvonne did not go along with the carnival plan of Tina’s bestie Pascal van Meerten. “If you think it’s nice that someone wears a white coat and that other people lie in the bushes somewhere, then I think: is this for Zapp or something? Is this toddler television?”:
She continues: “I’m glad that she at least had the courage to reject it. She would have done it, then she would have left afterwards, I think.”
Confident
Angela is in Camp Yvonne. “She is just a very self-confident aunt who doesn’t let herself be told and who knows what she does or doesn’t want, and I don’t think she hides that from anyone else.”
She also notices that Yvonne’s juice comeback is a success. For example, she points out the juice about Jake Paul and Jutta Leerdam. “Yes, she is usually right. I also hear more commotion in my environment. On Easter Sunday, my sister-in-law was also busy with the affair between Monica Geuze and Ruben Nicolai. That also comes from Yvonne.”
‘She’s tough’
Luuk Ikink speaks RTL Boulevard expresses his support for Yvonne. “It is true that she says: they were just looking for a stick to hit with and to get me away. It does seem a bit like that.”
Bridget Maasland: “And very honest: I have also had a program that is taken off and then you continue to be paid.”
Miljuschka Witzenhausen: “I think it’s strong.”
Bridget: “There’s something cool about it, isn’t it?”
Miljuschka concludes: “She stays true to herself, she doesn’t change tack at all. This is how we know Yvonne. She just goes for it.”
