Angela de Jong says she has no problem telling Monica Geuze straight to her face what she thinks of her. “Let her come in!”
The choice of Monica Geuze as the new panel member in The Masked Singer is not to everyone’s taste. It is not a smart decision, says AD’s TV columnist Angela de Jong. She calls the new addition ‘very irritating’. “I repeat my daughter’s question again: ‘Why on earth did Monica Geuze have to be in there?’”
In Monica’s face
Monica finds that kind of criticism difficult, but she also has the idea that these kinds of comments are mainly made by people with a keyboard under their fingers. Like Angela. There was no way she would ever have this in her face say, she thinks. “Angela, I dare youbut I don’t think that if I ever meet her in person, she will still say that to me.”
Um, does Monica know that Angela is the perfect example of someone who doesn’t avoid any confrontation? She argued with Johan Derksen live on television, sat down with her biggest critic Marcel van Roosmalen and was on her way to De Wereld Draait Door to argue with Gordon, who then last minute canceled.
Angela responds
Angela now responds to Monica’s statements. “Yes, she makes all kinds of things that I don’t think I said, but I just don’t understand her addition to The Masked Singer and I don’t really like her in that program either,” she says in the BNR- program The Friday Move.
The columnist continues: “Let me put the ball in my court: I am quite conservative and conservative, so if I really enjoy watching a program and that is just fine with the four people in the jury sitting there, then I would say: screw it not too much about it.”
On my nerves
The addition of Monica is really a miss, Angela thinks. “Things that are good are good. Then you can at most push the buttons a bit, but I just don’t like her addition… I understand that RTL does it, because it is for the young target group, but it gets on my nerves a bit.”
Host Wilfred Genee: “But if she came in here, would you just say it to her face?”
Angela: “Let her come in!”
‘There she is!’
Wilfred then pretends that Monica is in the studio: “Well, there she is ladies and gentlemen: Monica Geuze! Oh no, that has not been arranged.”
Angela laughs: “I thought it was really something… I read it and I thought: if Wilfred can produce this, he will at least arrange for her to come in.”
Wilfred: “I read it too late! I thought: shit, we should have produced this!”
