Lara Zevenberg, chef entertainment at NU.nl, is not sure if she was fired at RTL Tonight after spreading Juice over her boss Peter van der Vorst. “Maybe it happened.”
The involvement of RTL 4 boss Peter van der Vorst in the daily RTL Tonight is striking. Although the program is made by an outdoor producer, Peter is very intensively involved. In fact, Lara Zevenberg revealed that Peter was even in the secret auditions for potential talk showers. It was just like an Idols edition, she said.
‘It is striking’
For Peter it is not very pleasant that this ended up on the street, because now the image of a boss is so deep in this prestige project that he can no longer judge it objectively. TV authority Tina Nijkamp finds it striking that Lara was no longer seen at the Desk of RTL Tonight after spreading that Juice.
Tina says in the podcast Tina’s TV UPDATE“Yes, that is striking. She was seen a few times in the first few weeks as a media thuider at RTL Tonight, but it was actually told after the unveiling that Peter van der Vorst was at the audition when she audited for RTL Tonight, no longer appeared in the program.”
“It’s possible”
According to Albert Verlinde, Peter can be found almost every day on the RTL Tonight set. Would he no longer be confronted with Lara? “Whether that has to do with that: I don’t think so, but who knows. It is just possible with television. Perhaps she is on vacation. That is of course also possible,” says Tina.
What does Lara say about it himself? She tells her Podcast back: “That is not all that way. I have not been there for two weeks, I think that is a shame, but I was sick last week, so I was just sick.”
‘Maybe fired’
The week after her unveiling, however, Lara was not there and then she was not sick. “Yes, then it just went that way. Albert hadn’t been like that for ten days or something, so they had a few things to catch up with Albert, and I said:” Do you know guys, I’m fine. I am very pregnant, let me sleep, “because it’s really late in the day.”
She concludes: “So it is really a bit of a concurrence of circumstances, but I have not yet heard that I was fired. Maybe it happened, but I am just not aware of it yet.”
