The presenter’s emotions were high last week, he says. “Then I think it would be wiser to take a step back. If you start shouting all kinds of things out of emotions, it all becomes much more difficult.”
Genee wonders a week after quitting Today Inside wondering what he ‘could have done differently’. “I think in this situation I’ve been a bit calmer and more subdued and not tried to fix everything.” Genee was referring to an earlier riot in the program, around Akwasi. “Then Johan and René fought each other through the media.”
Solidarity
About Johan Derksen’s decision to stop the program, Genee says the following: “Johan decided to stop and I thought we should show solidarity.” Genee has had “a quiet week” since the program stopped. “I went to the beach in Scheveningen with my children for a few days.”
A week ago it was announced that Derksen, Genee and René van der Gijp immediately stopped their work for Today Inside† This was a few days after the fuss that arose about statements by Derksen about penetrating an unconscious woman with a candle. The analyst nuanced this in the next broadcast and stated that no penetration had taken place.
