‘I think it’s really scandalous’

Chantal Janzen is completely done with Thijs Römer. The presenter more or less ensured that he got into a relationship with her good friend Igone de Jongh, but that ended painfully. Not only did he appear to have sexually assaulted young girls, but he was also exposed as a cheater.

Johan demolishes Chantal

There is nothing for Chantal to justify this: she says she no longer needs contact with Thijs. Logical, but Johan Derksen thinks differently about that. “I was so annoyed by Chantal Janzen, who has a story in the Story that she never wants to see Thijs Römer again,” he responds.

The football expert believes that Chantal is a bad friend, he continues in Today Inside. “Chantal Janzen and her husband were very friends with Thijs Römer and that girl and then they would have dinner together and so on and then I think: if you were that close friends, eh…”

One kick after

Johan seems to think Chantal is a bitch. “People who are in trouble need their friends, but now that Thijs Römer is on the ground, she shouldn’t kick him again weeks later by saying: ‘I never want to see him again.’ If she were a real friend of Thijs Römer, she would go to him now and support him.”

Colleague Wilfred Genee points out that Chantal was mainly friends with Igone, and that Thijs was more her plus-one. “I think she was more friends with that woman, right?”

‘It’s scandalous’

No excuse, says Johan. “Yes, but now she blames him again for what Thijs did to that woman. Of course that boy was stupid. Thijs Römer is now the saddest, unluckiest man in the Netherlands, he lies on the ground and then Mrs. Janzen comes and gives him a kick in front of the stage. I think it’s really scandalous.”

Wilfred: “Yes, but he also made it a bit like that himself, didn’t he?”

‘I’ve already had my punishment’

Johan: “Yes, but he has also received his punishment, right? The whole of the Netherlands is throwing up at him and then you only have your friends who you always had such a nice dinner with and they kick you again. Well, I think that’s characterless.”

Hélène Hendriks looks at it a little more nuanced. “I was thinking for a moment. If it were about my best friend, I would definitely choose my best friend, but I think… Why would you even say this? Why would you do it? Do not do it! Just keep it with you.”

René van der Gijp: “Yes, you can leave it alone.”
