Stella Bergsma is welcome again to join Today Inside. Johan Derksen does think she is a horrible person. “It’s an annoying contrarian bitch.”
Stella Bergsma’s performance in Today Inside did not go down well last March. The opinion maker there expressed her fanship for Sigrid Kaag and it seemed that she had to pay for it with a place on the blacklist. She was never asked again after that, she indicated on Instagram yesterday. “It’s not up to me.”
‘D*doubt’
Johan Derksen now responds to this in his talk show Today Inside. “Well, I just sent an email this morning that she hadn’t been banned because she had her own opinion. We love it, people with an opinionated opinion.”
Colleague Wilfred Genee: “How did you describe her just behind the scenes?
Johan: “Well, I said just an annoying contrarian bitch. We like to have them at the table.”
Welcome again
Wilfred: “So she’s welcome here again?”
Johan: “Yes, but she thought we were stopping that. I said, ‘That’s not the case.’”
Wilfred: “No, we are not like that, are we? No absolutely not.”
Dinner guest Özcan Akyol: “But she hasn’t been since, has she?”
Wilfred: “No, she hasn’t been back.”
Özcan: “Then it is true that she has the idea that she is no longer welcome?”
train accident
Wilfred then doesn’t show the back of his tongue, but says: “It was kind of a train accident, but it’s fine if she comes by again, right?”
Johan jokingly: “Well, she said at the table that she would like Kaag to become the first female Prime Minister. Then we suspended her for three years, yes.”
Özcan: “So she still has two more seasons on the penalty bench?”
Wilfred with a wink: “Yes, she can come again in two seasons.”
