The marriage between Fidan Ekiz and Wierd Duk probably ended due to his addiction to X, says Johan Derksen. “I have the strong impression that his marriage subsequently broke down.”
Fidan Ekiz and Wierd Duk were a happy couple for years and even have a child. After their first break, they got back together in early 2022, but that second love adventure also came to an end. It was not unexpected, because at one point the two even started bickering constantly on television, namely in the talk show HLF8.
Why apart?
It seems that Wierd in particular always did everything he could to get back together with Fidan. During their first love reunion, he wagged his tail on the radio and said that she was on the mend again, but she was less enthusiastic: when it was over she made it very clear that she was not exactly devastated. It’s obvious who put an end to it…
What exactly causes it? Johan Derksen has an idea. It comes up when it comes up in the Today Inside last night’s issue is about the frequent criticism of the Telegraaf journalist.
Handled nicely
Wilfred Genee broaches the subject of Wierd Duk. “Wierd Duk is now being tackled in the Volkskrant and the NRC. What is your view on that?”
Johan Derksen then says: “It bothers me immensely. Those arrogant people, those self-proclaimed quality journalists, are going to treat him terribly, because they are of course very frustrated. They are never invited to one program; I don’t even see them in Who of the Three and Wierd is explaining everything and is spectacular.”
“Yes, that will cause abrasion and then they will tackle it.”
Marriage broken
Table guest Job Knoester sometimes finds Wierd extreme. “Wilfred, I think the problem is that Wierd brings it on himself a bit, because here at the table he is nuanced and comes across as sensible, but if you then look at his X channel, he is a completely different person. Then you offer them the space to do those kinds of things.”
Johan then: “Yes, exactly, I completely agree with you. That is an addiction. I have the strong impression that it destroyed his marriage. I once read that she was very bothered by the fact that he was on the couch all evening on the phone.”
‘That’s lame’
René van der Gijp can already see it. “That’s stupid too. Just before you come, throw in another two. That’s very stupid.”
Job: “I don’t want those kinds of images in my head!”
Johan: “Look, if every evening Fidan wants to take a swing and Wierd is still in contact with all kinds of people…”
