Mark Koster, media columnist for De Telegraaf, strongly suspects that Victor Vlam does not care that Tina Nijkamp is becoming so famous. “You’re getting too big and they won’t tolerate it!”
The hard attack that Victor Vlam opens on Tina Nijkamp in the latest episode of his podcast is very strong. He is annoyed by her position in the Chinese riot, but also thinks it is hypocritical that she calls for Amazon Prime not to broadcast the documentary about Ferry Doedens, while she also broadcast spicy TV during her time as SBS 6 boss.
Celebrity Tina
Mark Koster, who makes the podcast De Mediaweek together with Tina, suspects that jealousy plays a role in Victor. “Tina Nijkamp has become a famous Dutch person and if you are a famous Dutch person, people come at you with axes,” he notes. in that podcast.
Not only Victor targeted Tina, but also TV producer Marc Dic. Mark thinks it’s lame, because it’s been a long time since Tina was the boss at SBS 6. “What was this? I think, Tina: you’re getting too big and they won’t tolerate that.”
‘I don’t know’
How does Tina herself view this? She says: “I don’t know, but I didn’t like it. I thought: we are twenty years later and the world has changed, right? There wasn’t even an iPhone then!”
Mark: “Does it hit you that hard?”
Tina: “Well, no, it doesn’t affect me, but ummm… It doesn’t affect me, but I find it so strange that people think that. It’s twenty years later, right?! Why couldn’t you change your opinion? That’s also possible.”
Not bigger
Mark indeed finds it a bit strange that Victor compares Tina’s current opinion with her activities from two decades ago. “Victor Vlam is also not the man who would like you to change your opinion.”
Tina concludes with a sigh: “I feel like I’ve been working on it for days, but okay. I don’t want to make it bigger than it is. I’ve already closed it off a long time ago, so maybe we should just move on to the next thing.”
