Hélène Hendriks wonders who leaked the Khalid Kasem tapes, which brought the presenter’s TV career to a standstill. “Who has an interest?”
It seems that Khalid & Sophie will never return to television now that Khalid Kasem has been damaged forever by a revealing publication in the AD. The presenter has acted extremely questionably during his time as a lawyer; there is an audio tape in the newspaper’s editorial office, in which Khalid confirms that he bribed an official.
Hélène surprised
Who has an interest in Khalid becoming so damaged? Hélène Hendriks strongly wonders about this in her talk show The Orange Winter. “I mainly think: who leaked them? I’m assuming they’ll be put away for a bit. This is a bit scary. Who would actually have an interest in it?”
Her dinner guest Catherine Keyl: “Yes, good question. I wonder about that too. Of course, such things never come out by chance. Maybe someone who would really like to present together with Sophie? Hahaha.”
Hélène: “A place will become available! The question is who will leak it.”
‘Why now?’
Peter Schouten, lawyer and former close friend of Peter, would not be surprised if this came from the broadcasting world, he says in Renze. “You may wonder: why is this story suddenly coming out now? It is special timing, because Khalid Kasem is becoming increasingly popular at the moment. There is a whole reshuffle been with programs.”
He is referring to the musical chairs that Eva Jinek has initiated, in which Khalid & Sophie would take the place of Op1. “Everyone is angry and upset about it, there is all kinds of fuss about it in Hilversum and there are people who want to put an end to it. That’s possible, right? That’s kind of conspiracy-ish theory, but it’s strange that it’s happening in this day and age.”
Patty skeptical
Patty Brard thinks this is very far-fetched, she says Show news. “I can’t imagine that that would emerge because there would be a talk show war on the NPO between Khalid & Sophie and Op1, which would actually like that spot.”
Patty does point out that it recently emerged that Khalid is a pawnbroker, which does not fit with BNNVARA. “We had all of Khalid’s houses suddenly popping up a few weeks ago.”
AD explains
What does the AD itself say about these leaked tapes? “This article is based on several audio recordings. According to the sources who shared these recordings with the editors, and who call themselves ‘The Three Musketeers’, Peter R. de Vries made these recordings and stored them online.”
The newspaper continues: “Although this site realizes that the sources may not have obtained the material lawfully, the editor-in-chief of this site has, after careful consideration, ruled that use of this source material is permitted given the great social interest served by this publication. is.”
