Rob Kemps thinks it is very clever that Johnny de Mol continues with his talk show HLF8 despite the report of serious assault and attempted murder. “It’s the best thing to do.”
Johnny de Mol had huge doubts last week when the horrific report against him was leaked: should he present HLF8 that evening or skip it? In the end, the presenter just decided to appear on television and for that he is praised by his SBS 6 colleague Rob Kemps.
‘Very pretty’
It was very strong of Johnny, says Rob in the talk show Media Inside† “I thought it was very clever, because I had also understood that Hélène had already kind of flown in. Then it is a kind of witchcraft of consultation.”
In the end Hélène sat as a sidekick next to Johnny. “I think he did the best he could do. Just stand there and say he didn’t. If he didn’t. Otherwise he would have had to say, ‘I’m an asshole, I did it.’ And then he would have left.”
In the Lee
According to Rob, it is very smart that Johnny just keeps his head on television. “There is a lot going on everywhere and people also choose to go abroad and not let anything be heard for a while and to stay in the shade for a while, but then there is always such a feeling with the public. lack of: pronounce yourself.”
At least Johnny is just responding to the allegations, Rob said. “On the day the article came, he immediately spoke out. I’m okay with that.”
Rob believes Johnny
Rob believes in Johnny’s innocence. “Of course it is always difficult because you don’t know, but if it is the case that he has not done it – which I assume because he simply says that, that’s how I am put together – then I think it’s great that he does it anyway. Yes, I think so. †
He concludes: “I don’t think he has to do it per se. He can also take a year off, maybe ten, maybe forty, but he’s there anyway.”
Smart
The rest of the Media Inside table, consisting of Gijs Groenteman, Marcel van Roosmalen and Alexander Klöpping, also praises Johnny. Alexander: “So from a communication perspective, I think it’s pretty smart to stand up for it like this all at once and not duck away. If there’s one thing I think works in cases like this, it’s this.”
“If you just think away the content for a while and only think about ‘how did this come across?’, because that is what they are working on at such an editorial office at that moment, then I think this is strong. Because he can just keep going.”
