It is remarkable that Slagter joined on Tuesday evening, in the midst of the fuss that arose after the Omroepbaas the collaboration with Stars on the canvas-Presenter Özcan Akyol in Shownieuws canceled.
On Monday he announced that he wanted to respond ‘publicly’ to EUS ‘most recent explanation. Yet he had already agreed to be before the fight Orange To sit at the table and he did not get away from that.
Presenter Hélène Hendriks invests in the broadcast by asking Slagter about his health. The Omroepbaas did not feel so tasty prior to the broadcast and suspected that gallstones are the culprits. “Could just have come because of the stress,” he says, referring to his feud with Eus who, according to him, is blown up in the media.
“I’m done with it now”
Only fifteen minutes later the inevitable subject is on the table. “I’m done with it now,” says Slagter. “This is really the last thing I say about it. What I did was not smart, point. I should have said it directly.”
Jan Slagter after criticism of riot around Özcan Akyol: ‘I have been oil, but get on? No!’
Slagter: “I really hoped that he (Eus, Red) Summer Casters Would say: I’m sorry. What I regret is that I fired it on television and did not do that personally. I put on the fine, but it is still bothering me very much. ”

There is no need for contact with Akyol, he leaves that to his fellow director Nicolette de Wolf. “You have to discuss this seriously with each other. I naturally discussed that with Nicolette.”
Personal letter
The allegations that he is now under fire, he calls heavily exaggerated. “There have been a few, with emphasis on a few, who wondered if my action was handy.”
According to Slagter, the damage is also limited. “We have 433,000 members. Last week 2,200 were added. Admittedly: 100 have now canceled their membership. I have all sent them a letter in which I explain my actions and my mistakes.”
He also does not expect consequences of his public fight. “There will also be no research at all, which newspapers report. That is all lied.” Eus wrote in a statement that he is considering legal steps.
Matthijs van Nieuwkerk
Later Hendriks asks if he also spoke with Matthijs van Nieuwkerk about the developments. Slagter: “That was the day after I at Shownieuws Sat, then there was no commotion yet. We drank coffee together and discussed it laterally. I have the idea that he doesn’t want to talk about it any further and want nothing to do with it. “
Finally, Table guest Jack van Gelder gives some unsolicited advice to the Max boss broadcaster. “There is so much fooling in the world. Just drink a cup of coffee with Eus and say to each other: we both made a mistake. Ready. And then you will see that you no longer suffer from your gallbladder, haha.”
Arise of the fuss
Slagter is angry with Akyol because it is in the program Summer Casters No apologies offered for earlier statements about Matthijs van Nieuwkerk, who helped him to get his career off the ground. Akyol said he had seen a video in which Van Nieuwkerk at DWDD behaves ‘not very pleasantly’. Only that video has never surfaced.
On a whimer, Slagter decided in a broadcast of Shownieuws to inform EUS that the collaboration stops once the current agreements have been completed.
