Tijl Beckand has no trouble at all with the juice channels, despite the fact that he has also fallen prey to them. “It is good that there is a counterbalance to the traditional media.”
As a Dutch celebrity you should not be so spastic with juice channels, thinks Tijl Beckand. It was his turn recently when a photo leaked out of his Groningen night out. It was suggested that he was cheating, but the woman he was kissing in that photo turned out to be just his own love partner.
‘I’m busted!’
Tijl thinks it’s funny, he indicates in the talk show of Eva Jinek. “There’s a lot of filming at all and people are kind of like, ‘Hey, this is going to a juice channel!’ Yeah, you know, look… It’s fun when you go into the kitchen and say to your own wife, “I’ve been caught! With you!'”
Not every celebrity is as relaxed about it as Tijl. He makes his statements in the Jinek episode in which Samantha Steenwijk is also a guest. She has set up a whole legal circus on high feet to tackle Yvonne Coldeweijer about an absolute non-subject: the use of diet pills.
Tijl defends
According to Tijl, it is good that there are now juice channels. “There’s a pretty good documentary on Netflix about Jimmy Savile. That’s a DJ who has run like a predator in England for forty years. Held over the head by the traditional media.”
It is precisely through online channels that he was still unmasked, according to Tijl. “At the end of his life, a year after he died, he was still overthrown because more and more stories about him came up online. So I think there is definitely room for online juice-like channels.”
counterbalance
Tijl is therefore not in favor of a ban. “It should not turn into a situation of: we publish, it is true or false or half true, because then we will all have a turn. But if you go by the big fish and with which you serve a social purpose, it is good that there is a counterbalance to the traditional media.”
The most famous juice channels in the Netherlands are those of Yvonne Coldeweijer, the men of RoddelPraat (Dennis Schouten and Jan Roos) and Juice Channel.
