Wilfred Genee became very hot with Marianne Zwagerman in the spring. The Today Inside star started shouting at her behind the scenes of BNR Nieuwsradio. “And even to cry.”
For years and years, Wilfred Genee has been chased by gossip about cheating. The men of RoddelPraat have spread the story that the Today Inside star always had a lady shave in his car for exciting home visits outside his hometown of Soest. He wouldn’t like hair in intimate places.
Snippets
Marianne Zwagerman confronted the presenter with this in May when she was a guest in his radio show The Friday Move on BNR Nieuwsradio. The VI star then completely denied that he would cheat on his wife Lili Genee.
To the listener, Wilfred sounded very sporty at the time: “The difficult thing with these kinds of conversations, if I now have them with you, is that they are taken out of context and they all become snippets. Especially with my children, I don’t feel like responding to them at all. I never respond to things.”
War
Afterwards, Wilfred really went out of his way, Marianne now reveals in the PowCast. “I really had a terrible war with Wilfred. After the broadcast it got completely out of hand. With screaming and crying and everything. From his side. He thought I had really done an incredible job for him, because I started talking about it during the broadcast.”
It’s not a surprise; Wilfred has also done the same to Fidan Ekiz, because he thought she interviewed him too critically in Op1. Marianne: “Yes, things got very, very out of hand after that and we never had contact again and I don’t think I will ever be invited again. Not even to BNR.”
Love life
Why did Marianne confront him? She said she was tired of him teasingly asking her about her love life for years. “And then he did that again at The Friday Move, which is live. What he didn’t know: that happened at a time when a lot of horrible things were happening in my life in that area.”
When Wilfred asked, Marianne looked for one way outshe says. “Then all those radars start turning in your head and then I thought: I’ll just turn it around. Like: ‘Shall we talk about your love life for a moment? Because, well, there are quite a few things going on, I understand!’”
Whitehot
Wilfred did not appreciate that. “He can distribute very well, but apparently not very well at collecting. During that broadcast I actually didn’t even realize how sensitive that was. That broadcast was over and I thought: nice, we’ll eat a bitterbal or something. And then he came to me and he was white hot.”
“He literally said, ‘I thought we had a really good relationship.’ Well, I don’t know him that well, but I have always had good contact with him. He says: ‘What did you do to me during the broadcast?’ Then I really had to think for a moment: what exactly are you talking about? Then it turned out that he was very, very angry about that.”
Adultery
Things will never work out between the two, according to Marianne. “He didn’t expect me to start talking about that. I understand that, because I normally wouldn’t have done it either, I think, because I was quite panicky. I then also explained to him what was going on in my private life and that was really very intense.”
“Instead of him saying: ‘Jesus, Marianne, that’s very intense. Sorry, I just shouldn’t have started talking about your private life,’ he just kept talking about how bad it is for him that he is constantly confronted with that adultery.”
Pharisee
Gossip Talk host Jan Roos thinks Wilfred is weak. “Wilfred Genee has gone completely crazy. That girl has never been asked by Wilfred Genee or BNR again and that of course matters because what kind of person Wilfred Genee is, because the man is constantly handing out,” he responds in the online show section.
“You can’t have a normal interview without him insulting you or sharing private information or whatever. He’s a very nasty bastard. That’s why he’s good at his job, but if you do it to him, he’ll cry, scream, scream and cancel you. Do you know what you are? A dirty, dirty Pharisee.”
