Peter van der Vorst is done with all Angela de Jong-like types who criticize him. Initially, RTL’s TV boss found it all very difficult, but now he exclaims: “F*ck it!”
High trees catch a lot of wind: if you want to be the large television boss of RTL, then of course there is also a healthy portion of criticism. According to Peter van der Vorst, the criticism he gets over him is, however, absurd. “Adult columnists and journalists make me aware of the worst things,” he claims in de Volkskrant.
“F*ck it!”
It is completely unclear what Peter refers to, but he may have been somewhat light and makes everything bigger in his head. “It used to be an occasional negative TV review, now there are media websites, media podcasts, there is a mini-industrial of people with opinions about media, and one thing goes around for weeks in that echo room.”
What is Peter now is the echo room in which the Angela de Jong-like play the leading role? “In the meantime I have decided: fuck it. You can worry about it, but it makes no sense. “
At the man
His right hand Ellen Meijerse also has the idea that Peter is having a hard time and tells the newspaper that he is getting a lot over him. “The man is being played. I sometimes thought: he doesn’t keep this up. If something is wrong about a program, it is Peter who does everything wrong. “
All sounds very bad like the victim role. What is the worst? “He was called” De Jeffrey Epstein of the television “in an anonymous letter because he wants The Voice to return in 2026. He was sick of that. “
Fake letter
That anonymous (fake) letter has not led to a fuss at all. Peter says about that: “You think: what do we get now? That letter would have been written by former employees of The Voice and was sent to all media. Allegedly it was a fake letter, sent by Journalism students who wanted to demonstrate how media follow everywhere. ”
“What was not the case in this case, because that letter has caused little. But yes, it will be in your system if you are compared with people like that. Hard, personal attacks, cynical and venomous comments, nowadays are part of it. ”
