Maarten van Rossem continues to feed the media row about his quarrel with René van der Gijp. The jury member of De Slimste Mens likes to complain about show media that would blow everything up, but he himself participates just as hard. Quarrel Gijp and Maarten escalates: ‘First-class bastard!’, reads the headline above a fragment on his own Youtube Channel.

What’s going on now? Maarten called Today Inside in his ratings hit De Slimste Mens ‘flat fun for people with limited intelligence’, after which René called him a ‘self-righteous jellyfish’. And the 79-year-old historian is now responding to that.

Tom Jessen, the presenter of Maartens podcast: “You have dismissed the viewers of VI as idiots and there are also a lot of viewers of that program who listen to this podcast and they weren’t there that way after all. happy along.”

First-class bastard

Maarten sticks to his opinion. “I myself didn’t find my description, ‘it’s plain fun for people with limited intelligence’, to be offensive at all. It is a very objective description of reality.”

Tom: “I have the feeling that you and Gijp are not going to be okay.”

Maarten: “I can imagine that, since the very first and only time I sat at that table with him, I thought he was a first-class bastard. Yes, a man who did not know how to behave.”

Humour

Tom: “And yet someone is with humor.”

Maarten: “Yes, it just depends on what you find humorous, of course. My impression was that there at that table – I don’t know whether it was only Gijp or the others as well – there was an atmosphere of: there, we’re going to pinch that Van Rossem. If I had reported it in advance, I could have said: I will not come.”

At the time, René hacked at Maarten because he was contemptuous of the VI audience. Maarten now: “Yes, they did not impress me as if they had invented gunpowder. Let me say that.”
