René van der Gijp (62) thinks it is exaggerated that some criticism is expressed here and there about the statements of Johan Derksen (74) about the buttocks of Princess Alexia (just 18). “Hahaha!”
On the evening of Budget Day, Johan Derksen said that he likes Princess Alexia’s ‘butt’. Many people find it inappropriate that he speaks this way about a girl who has just come of age, although Angela de Jong thinks it’s fine: “Johan Derksen simply called the animal by its name in Today Inside: the princess has a nice ass.”
‘Dirty old man’
Um, in this one AD column Angela is really missing the point, says former NOS boss Hans Laroes. “So that over-age mustache with a bad haircut thinks it’s very witty to praise an eighteen-year-old young woman for her ‘nice ass’ in front of a large audience? Hasn’t that been called ‘dirty old man’ for centuries?” he writes X.
Erika Zeegers, Dutch sign language interpreter, agrees with Hans. “Let’s see what Angela would think if it were about her daughter. Disgusting!”
Johan responds
Wilfred Genee touched on the criticism last night Today Inside. “There are all kinds of people angry about your comment about Alexia’s butt.”
Johan then says: “Oh yes, but I really don’t care what people think about it. I don’t give a shit about that.”
Wilfred: “They say: ‘That’s an old man who starts talking about the buttocks of that 18-year-old girl.’”
‘licking buttocks’
Johan thinks he is doing nothing wrong. “Yes, but that old man still has an eye for it. That was because that guy from Shownieuws at the bar started talking about how she often poses on the side and back. Then I said: ‘She does indeed have a nice ass.’ That was just an observation from someone who knows about it.”
René van der Gijp thinks Johan’s statements are not too bad. “Isn’t this just a statement of fact? We’re not talking about wanting to lick those bottoms, are we? That wouldn’t be good.”
Cross the border
Johan has to laugh at René’s joke. “I swallowed that too, didn’t I? I did not say that!”
René: “Then you cross a border! Hahaha.”
Bar guest Merel Ek thinks the men are quite vulgar. She laughs: “Also ‘lick’ straight away! Do not touch. No, it has to be licking again!”
