Rob Geus was blasted by Tina Nijkamp last week when she was in the studio of Today Inside, but why is that? Well, he really went way too far with her. “I’m done now!”
TV authority Tina Nijkamp, who was the channel boss of SBS 6 for years, spouted her bile about Rob Geus last week in Today Inside. That man really demanded an incredible amount of attention when she was still his boss, she said. What exactly is it? She now explains this in Wilfred Genee’s chat column In The Walkways.
“Is he a dick?”
Wilfred wonders where that attack on Rob came from. “Is there still an open account with Rob Geus or not?”
Tina then: “No, no, not at all.”
Wilfred: “Is he a dick or is he okay?”
Tina: “Well, no, it is someone who really demands a lot of attention. Look, as a broadcaster, all the time you have is also spent on presenters who call: ‘I want to present this program. Do you have anything for me?’ Many celebrities call and he was someone who called very often. Really.”
Christmas Eve
What did Tina really go too far? “Once I was literally standing in the Kalverstraat on Christmas Eve, because I had to get one last present… Well, at four o’clock in the afternoon, because all those shops close at five o’clock.”
She continues: “I had to get something quickly, because I had a busy job at the time. You know, then he calls with really nonsensical questions that you really think: stop it! Leave me alone for once!”
Not cheerful
Wilfred wonders how Tina will react. “But are you saying that too? Are you like that?”
Tina: “I did say that then. I said: ‘Now I’m done with it. I just want to celebrate Christmas now,’ because I also really enjoy Christmas.”
What Rob said then? “’That doesn’t make me happy.’ That’s what he said, yes.”
