Marc-Marie Huijbregts continues to be very uncomfortable about his pod separation from Aaf Brandt Corstius. He accused Eva Jinek of asking too critical questions yesterday. “Now what is this?!”
The whole country has now read about the alleged reason behind the sudden podcast break between Marc-Marie Huijbregts and Aaf Brandt Corstius: her husband Gijs Groenteman would have cheated, she would have temporarily moved in with Marc-Marie and they would have gotten a blood bond there. The source? Juice hyena Yvonne Coldeweijer.
Pink elephant
Although Yvonne a very impressive track record no one asks Marc-Marie point blank whether this is correct. Also yesterday, in Eva Jinek’s talk show, the pink elephant in the room was not mentioned.
Eva initially pretends that she is going to put Marc-Marie to the test. She asks him in her broadcast on RTL 4: “Something else: big news in podcastland. You stopped. I see you for the first time since it happened. It is my journalistic duty to ask in-depth questions about this.”
Missed
Marc-Marie immediately shows that he does not intend to show the back of his tongue. “That’s what Catherine Keyl always said: ‘I have to ask!’ Then I always said: ‘Who should you ask?!’”
Eva: “I just want to know. You quit your podcast with Aaf, very successful, two years done, 250 episodes. People were all in mourning, shocked, why are you stopping?”
Marc-Marie: “I think we misjudged how we approached that. We haven’t really done it in the smartest way. We should have shown it coming more and stuff and that didn’t happen. It took us weeks to do it as well and neatly as possible and so on and yet, yes…”
Hate and envy
Is Marc-Marie going to deny their mega quarrel again? “It has not exploded anywhere. No, there is no hatred and envy and such. Only at a certain point did one of them stop wanting.”
Eve: “Who was that one?”
That is not what Marc-Marie wants to say. In other words: there is something to hide. “Yes, one of us. And then the other didn’t want to anymore. And then neither of them wanted it anymore. That’s how it went. Then we tried to do it as beautifully as possible.”
“What is this?!”
Eva: “You have been friends for years. Are you still friends?”
Marc-Marie: “Yes, we don’t have a fight that we think: now we don’t get together anymore, but we’ve done it for two and a half years, haven’t we? That is of course very long. And we did two podcasts every week.”
Eva: “Do you regret it ending?”
Marc-Marie: “Of course I am sorry.”
Eva: “Do you wish it had gone through?”
Marc-Marie: “What is this?! This is a Nick & Simon-esque story without Simon!”
‘Bad questions!’
Eva: “It also feels Nick & Simon-esque!”
Marc-Marie: “I mean: then you should have invited the two of us.”
Eva: “You probably didn’t want that.”
Marc-Marie: “Who says that?”
Eva: “That’s what I think: am I right or not?”
Marc-Marie: “You haven’t tried that!”
A little later, Marc-Marie protests when he has to show merchandise from the British royal family: “The nasty podcast questions made me think: she didn’t deserve that.”
Eva: “That was a bit of a joke, wasn’t it?”
Marc-Marie: “That wasn’t a little… Yeah, maybe a little bit of a joke.”
What does Yvonne say?
Yvonne thinks it’s logical that Marc-Marie keeps his jaw tight. She says in her Juice Show: “Yes, of course it’s all true, so what are you going to say? Look, it’s not up to Marc-Marie to say: yes, that’s right, Aaf’s husband has indeed cheated. He can’t do that, can he?”
Co-host Mark Koster: “Well, he can do that easily.”
Yvonne: “No, you can’t do that. That’s a bit of betrayal. If Aaf has asked: ‘Do you want to keep that to yourself?’”
Mark: “Yes, but that man keeps nothing to himself.”
Yvonne: “No, that’s why it will come again.”
