Johan Derksen is losing the support of viewers en masse now that his adoration of John de Mol is taking on very scary forms. He held a bizarre rant against Angela de Jong. “I’m tired of your bits and pieces!”
Angela de Jong and Johan Derksen almost came to blows with each other last night in Today Inside. They are diametrically opposed when it comes to John de Mol: she approaches the media billionaire with a healthy critical eye, while a kind of blind adoration predominates in him. It has been noticed for some time, but now the VI-star is very clear.
Johan furious with Angela
Week after week, Johan twists corners to defend John’s business, but what happened yesterday in VI really beats everything. He savagely addressed Angela in her column on Monday, in which she rightly criticized John’s dealings with the autistic creator of his show Marble Mania and his “shit” attitude in the Voice file.
Johan is fierce. “Your obsession to lift De Mol a leg is so great that you are going crazy,” he began. There was a whole discussion about the Marble Mania riot – John was in conflict with the autistic creator of the show – and Johan didn’t come out very strongly. “It didn’t go like that. That’s not how it went at all,” he cried desperately.
blind adoration
It is bizarre how Johan cannot deal with criticism of John and his Talpa at all. He describes Tim Hofman’s documentary about the Voice scandal as ‘a crap program with all kinds of suggestive things’. And he also continues to defend John’s big star Peter Gillis: “The camping owner is also such a hobby of yours. I always have to explain and defend that.”
Angela thinks it’s ridiculous that Peter can continue on TV, Johan thinks that’s normal. He says, “The board even went there, had a talk with that man and that woman and they said, ‘It’s a marital dispute, but nothing really happened.’ If the Public Prosecution Service does not initiate an investigation, nothing has happened.”
bad daylight
What is John talking about? The Public Prosecution Service has already decided to prosecute Peter for assault. “The Public Prosecution Service has started a lawsuit! Hello, research?! There’s a lawsuit going on, isn’t there?” said Angela. He then: “You tackle it all to put De Mol in a bad light. I hate John de Mol, because…”
Colleague Wilfred Genee: “You don’t really notice that at the moment.”
Johan: “We dare to say everything about John de Mol here, but I find it repulsive what you do and I also think that your editor-in-chief should address you, because you are unbelievable.”
silenced
In fact: Johan wants Angela to be silenced by the AD when it comes to criticism of John. He doesn’t praise her enough. “De Mol is portrayed as a curly boy who has accomplished nothing. (…) You personally have something against De Mol and if I were editor-in-chief of the AD I would say: ‘Angela, well not about De Mol.’”
A bizarre view for someone who wants to air his own opinion about everything unfiltered. Angela: “But why are you lying awake with the opinion of ‘a housewife from Rotterdam’, I wonder?”
Johan: “Oh, that doesn’t keep me awake at all.”
Angela: “Well, when I write a column about De Mol, it is always treated here in the evening as if it is so terrible that I criticize the great John de Mol.”
pillory
Angela rightly points out to Johan that she also regularly criticizes NPO boss Frans Klein and RTL boss Peter van der Vorst. “Then I can’t hear you here. It’s only when I’m talking about John de Mol.”
Johan: “No, but it bears no relation to the entire De Mol family, who are always pilloried.”
Angela: “I think you have a little obsession with me when I write about John de Mol.”
Wilfred points out that Angela has written eight columns about John in a whole year: “I’m surprised too. You’re really into it. I don’t really know you that way. What is that?”
Johan: “I think she is wrong as a columnist.”
‘K*t bits!’
Angela makes completely mincemeat of Johan. “John has the biggest scandal in 70 years of television, he employs people accused of domestic violence, he has a son who is not quite kosher. (…) I think I can follow it critically after all? But if I write something about John de Mol, that is so sad for John!”
Johan: “I don’t feel sorry for John de Mol.”
Angela: “Then why do you care?”
Johan: “Well, those bits of yours are starting to annoy me.”
Angela: “Well, then you don’t read them!”
Johan pissed off: “You really are a woman. This whining… These discussions really get to me…”
“You’re a creep!”
Angela then points to the cover-up culture in the former Talpa production The Voice. Johan angrily: “Ah, stop it. 1,100 people have worked on The Voice in all in all those years and three have misbehaved.”
Again Johan does not have his facts straight. Angela corrects him: “Four.”
Johan: “Well, he told me three.”
And that shows exactly that Johan just blindly serves up what is being whispered to him from Talpa. Angela: “You are being used. I often notice that, yes.”
Johan dead serious: “I find you repulsive in your pieces. You are always so creative that if it is not about John de Mol, you still hand out three kittens. That defines your character. You’re a bit of a creep, sometimes.”
Gibe in Camp Angela
It only becomes really painful when René van der Gijp openly opts for camp Angela: “Johan, let’s get serious now. I have friends, you know them, let’s call them Rob Jansen, I know a few… You made them so, so trite in your columns, but so trite in your columns that those people really… They really hurt. ”
According to Angela, it exactly shows Johan’s hypocrisy. According to her, he is just a ‘Talpa pull doll’. “Then you have to go and drink coffee with Marco (Louwerens, a servant of John, ed.), then the ‘facts’ are told to you and then you turn 180 degrees here at the table.”
Johan: “Oh, what did I get into?”
“Then don’t look!”
Angela then points to Johan’s bizarre turn in the Johnny de Mol file: “I sat here at the table and then you said: ‘Yes, I think he really did it. I really think Johnny is wrong.’ (…) You had a cup of coffee with Marco and the other night it was: ‘No, it’s all extortion, (…) that bitch is crazy.’”
Johan: “Isn’t that clear? They have had a flamboyant relationship and there is some pushing and pulling. Yes, that is clear.”
Angela: “And there is a report and there are pictures of a little pushing and pulling?”
Johan: “No, no, but there is domestic violence everywhere. In one in three families, so also with Johnny de Mol.”
Angela: “So it is all the more important that a line is drawn on television that that is not possible and that we do not accept that as a society.”
Shut up
Johan ends the discussion with a point that is of no value given his continuous praise for John and his Talpa: “We are the only Talpa program where the contract states that we can say anything about Talpa and the De Mol family. ”
Angela: “But if I say something about it, should I shut up? Okay!”
Johan: “Yes, because as a reader I am bothered by your repetitive behavior.”
You can see the fierce TV quarrel between Angela and Johan in Today Inside.
Extremely critical
Johan receives an extreme amount of criticism on social media:
