Hélène Hendriks has understood that her colleague Johnny de Mol will continue with the presentation HLF8, despite the enormous controversy surrounding his person. “He’s just going to do it.”
The pressure on Johnny de Mol to stop presenting HLF8 for the time being is increasing, but according to his regular substitute Hélène Hendriks there are no signs that he is leaving. She will, however, present the program next Thursday and Friday. “That had been planned for a while, yes. That has been the case for weeks.”
pooping dog
Hélène was urgently called up by SBS 6 on Wednesday, because Johnny decided at the last minute to cancel because of the leaked declaration not to broadcast Shima Kaes. Just before the show, Johnny was advised to do the show anyway, so that Hélène eventually sat at the table as a sidekick.
She had to take her dog to the studio because of all the urgency. He started pooping there. “I was picked from the forest, I had to go there, it was a two hour drive and then I had to prepare the contents. I couldn’t let her out anymore. Then just a poo on the studio floor. Harry de Winter didn’t like it very much. He thought it smelled.”
‘Johnny continues’
Johan Derksen has argued in favor of removing Johnny from HLF8. He asks Hélène in Today Inside: “Aren’t you afraid they want to put you all the way on that HLF8?”
No, says Helene. According to her, Johnny is just going through with it. “Uhh, you mean in the near future? Well, I understand Johnny will just do it for the foreseeable future. So no, I don’t think so. And I also said that football always comes first.”
René is joking
Hélène is a regular guest in the Thursday show of Today Inside, but she will present HLF8 on that day next week. Wilfred Genee: “You can’t be there next week!”
Hélène Hendriks: “Yes, I think I will come!”
Wilfred: “You’ll just come afterwards?”
Helene: “Yes.”
René van der Gijp: “It’s also nice to be in a program that people watch, right?”
Helene: “Hahahaha. Yes, I thought so too.”
Patriarchy
Volkskrant columnist Loes Reijmer finds it strange that Johnny continues with HLF8, she writes. She finds Shima Kaes’s report quite convincing. “In any case, sufficient reason for a pause.”
Johnny is, however, ‘descendant of the most influential media family in the Netherlands’, writes Loes. “The accusations against him could be the ultimate test of patriarchy.”
One of Johnny’s guests Monday night is Sunnery James. His sidekick is Fidan Ekiz.
