Gerard Joling believes that Margje Fikse is a ‘stupid c*t’. According to the entertainer, it is ridiculous how she reacted when a studio guest from Op1 half died. “Then help!”
It is without a doubt one of the most talked about TV moments of 2023: the bizarre broadcast of Op1 in which one of the guests suddenly found himself injured on the floor. Everyone stood up to help the woman, but the presentation duo Charles Groenhuijsen and Margje Fikse remained seated and seemed to have no idea what exactly to do.
Op1 guest is bleeding
The duo came under a lot of criticism, especially because Margje started reporting on the whole thing as a kind of sports commentator. “One of the guests fell and is not doing well. She is now being helped to her feet. She is bleeding and things are really not going well,” he said.
This remarkable fragment also appears in the New Year’s Eve broadcast of RTL Boulevard. “Every year when you think it couldn’t get any crazier, someone faints again!”, PowNed presenter Mark Baanders notes.
‘Stupid c*nt’
It was incredible, according to reality star Sylvia Geersen. “I did not know what I saw.”
AD opinion dragon Angela de Jong: “He looked like: is everything going well there?”
And then Gerard Joling comes around the corner with his particularly fierce rant: “She said: ‘Oh, it’s going to bleed too!’ Then I thought: what kind of stupid cunt are you? Just go out there and help someone!”
Sylvie: “Very sorry for that woman. I hope she is doing well.”
Mia and Pia
A little later, Gerard also lashes out at the out-of-tune Eurovision Song Contest couple Mia & Dion. “It was really terrible, that Mia with Pia. What are they called again? It was as if there were two cats hanging in the barbed wire, it was really not fun, but very sad for them. Sorry, it just sucked.”
Finally, he does stand up for Matthijs van Nieuwkerk: “We all go off track sometimes, don’t we?”
