Beau van Erven Dorens states that Angela de Jong’s claim about his visit to the editorial office of Pauw & De Wit is a lie. “Those people all have to earn their living with bullshit!”
It is unprecedented how Beau van Erven Dorens dealt with the news that RTL Tonight is stopping due to low viewing figures. He began to openly attack his direct colleague Renze Klamer, who will present the successor. According to Angela de Jong, he stormed into the Pauw & De Wit editorial office with the shout: “Are you still looking for a presenter?”
Bullshit
What nonsense, Beau now responds. “As if I would have walked into Tim de Wit’s editorial office in anger, while I was just sitting there happily chatting with Tim and all my former editors. That is Angela de Jong. I just hope that people also understand: those people all have to earn their living with bullshit.”
According to him it was very innocent. “I always fantasized: I think it would be funny to just walk there and just say: ‘Guys, how are you doing?’ They’re just colleagues of ours that we all know. So it was purely corny and funny. Not a single word was spoken,” he says Show news.
Big thumbs up
Angela makes all this stuff up, according to Beau. “It is all made up by Angela de Jong. Then something like this completely goes away and then Johan Derksen starts to make something of it.”
It is true that we all saw how he railed against Renze. “We were just rebellious stallions for five days and now we are back in our nest. I wrote a column once and maybe I shouldn’t have done that, because I didn’t say anything after that, but it really blew up.”
Chosen One
In retrospect, doesn’t Beau think it was a bit silly that he described Renze, for example, as ‘the chosen one’. “No, but look, I don’t want to dwell on that too much, because I also want everyone to have their own success. It’s just been bad and now we just have to move on.”
He continues: “It was over for me after five days, but then something like that happens and it rolls in all directions. There are also all kinds of things that never happened at all.”
On the mat
Has Beau been summoned by the RTL top? “Reported? No. Well, at least I don’t. I just do exactly what I want. I’ve always done that and I just want to be honest about everything. If you see what has happened: it’s incredible, it goes in all directions. I’m just still a spoiled brat.”
He concludes: “I’m just a presenter with all kinds of nice jobs and things, but if I were to say to you: ‘Yes, tomorrow you will be on the street’, you wouldn’t like it either, right? I tried to indicate that at the time. Only now I think: it’s water under the bridge, let’s just move on.”
