Jan de Hoop currently thinks the video is that way viral of a ‘not so pleasant’ Matthijs van Nieuwkerk is absolutely not shocking. Does Özcan Akyol mean this? He remains silent…
The Matthijs van Nieuwkerk show De Wereld Draait Door was the subject of a documentary in 2015. After all the commotion about the talk show, that film was taken offline, but an excerpt from it is currently going viral on social media. We see a very irritated Matthijs, but nothing more than that. He doesn’t grab anyone by the throat or drag anyone across the table.
Is this all?
Is this the roaring film for which Özcan Akyol stabbed his good friend in the back? Is this all? Yes, says Yvonne Coldeweijer. According to her, Eus really means this video, he didn’t know that this is just from the documentary and he has gone through a lot of trouble looking for a way out of his friendship with Matthijs.
Jan de Hoop, known from the RTL Breakfast News, understands little of it. “A bit of tension before the broadcast. He’s a little tense. I see no harm in this,” he writes on X.
‘Hope not!’
RTL 5 star Thijs Zeeman thinks that Özcan has some explaining to do. “Are these the ‘infamous’ images where Özcan Akyol decided to throw his best friend under the bus?! One can hope not? We mainly see a stressed Matthijs and indeed: it feels stressed. Not a pleasant atmosphere in which people improve. But that doesn’t seem to me to be proof of tyranny…”
Telegraaf presenter Wilson Boldewijn would find it worrying if Özcan meant this video. “Isn’t this just what is in that documentary? Don’t think he means this one.”
Thijs: “I certainly hope not, because these are not terrible images after all…”
VI viewers
What do viewers think of Özcan’s program Today Inside? “So these are the real images? What a fuss about nothing. I expected a swearing and ranting man. That you risk your friendship there: BIZARRE. And that the people in this conversation think this is transgressive behavior, come on,” said the VI socials.
And a certain Jan says: “I assume that Kneus Eus will no longer join us, he will soon come up with videos about you.”
My, my
Private boss Evert Santegoeds does not understand Eus. “I thought: if this is it, well Eus, young boy, what have you been talking about, man? If this is it, then I would say that Matthijs has almost been cleared of all blame and what an incredible poser that Eus is that he has been whipping this up like that,” he says in the podcast Strictly Private.
And Ozcan? He is silent, says reporter Jordi Versteegden. “I also see him online all the time on WhatsApp, but he doesn’t respond to texts or calls, so maybe: where there’s smoke, there’s fire, so we have to keep an eye on things.”
“He’s a coward!”
Evert does not rule out that Matthijs will soon be able to continue, but Özcan will be cancelled. “If this is the video, then I can see it all turning around. Then I think it ended badly for Eus, because he a) said that this video was passed from hand to hand, but no one saw it for weeks, and now it comes to the surface and then it is this. Yes, that is special.”
Jordi: “And it’s cowardly that he doesn’t answer the phone.”
