Eva Jinek thinks it is quite risky that Johnny de Mol has sworn with two fingers in the air in his talk show HLF8 that there is ‘nothing at all’ correct about the report that was made against him.
Johnny de Mol has had a pretty turbulent week, because the shocking report of his ex-fiancée Shima Kaes has been leaked. She says she has been severely beaten by Johnny several times. The presenter swore the same evening in his talk show HLF8 that ‘nothing is true’. He held up two fingers in the air.
Problematic
According to Eva Jinek, the question is whether that has been so useful from Johnny. If he is found guilty of assault or attempted manslaughter, then those two fingers will be charged properly, she thinks.
Eva last night in her talk show Jinek on RTL 4: “That you stand there and make that gesture with two fingers, a kind of universal gesture of: I speak the complete truth… That implies that everything else that has been said is nonsense. If it turns out later that it’s not quite right, then I think it would be problematic if you said it so explicitly.”
Eva critical
It seems to Eva very difficult for Johnny to just continue with his daily talk show. “Of course it also colors the work you do, I think. It’s there like ehhh… Well, the viewer is aware of it. Every time they look at you, they think about what you’ve said or what’s going on in the media.”
It will also be more difficult for Johnny to score guests for HLF8, because two camps will arise: people who are very critical of him, such as the men from VI and the stars of RTL Boulevard, and people who stand behind him. These are for example Johnny’s sidekicks, such as last night’s Britt Dekker and Monday Fidan Ekiz.
Not very smart
Eva’s dinner guest Angela de Jong also thinks that those two fingers of Johnny are not so handy. “This case is already a year and a half old. We’ve heard quite a few things already, including a sound clip where he admits things. So, is it really smart to go on television like this: ‘I didn’t do it’? You can’t go back then.”
Lawyer Gerald Roethof thinks you shouldn’t lift too much on those two fingers. But: “If it turns out afterwards that parts of the declaration are correct, it could indeed undermine the credibility of your story. Well, then it has to be shown first. At this point, in my view, he should be presumed innocent.”
