King arrived last month to be under attack after he made fun of politician Thierry Baudet in Jinek. Koning joked, among other things, about the alleged anti-Semitism in Forum for Democracy and Baudet’s statements about ‘homeopathic dilution’ of the Dutch people. Baudet then left the broadcast prematurely.
Both RTL and Jinek distanced themselves from the content. Koning then indicated in an interview with this site that the parties were unaware of the purport. ,,,They really didn’t know what I was going to say. ” He responded to those words yesterday On 1 back. The comedian claimed that he did offer Jinek to read the column in advance. “She has not accepted that invitation. And two is that the editors were well aware of the purport of the column. And Peter van der Vorst has those apps himself, so I find it very strange how it all goes now. ”
On 1presenter Paul de Leeuw then took King in his own words. ,,But in Eve did you say that you never do that, that you let people read it. ” Koning responded: “The difference between sending things and having a presenter read it, yes, I don’t mind.”

RTL said earlier that it had repeatedly asked about the content of the column. “The editors should have made the choice not to let Martijn Koning perform. We are sorry that this turned out to be the case and that the viewer and the table guests were confronted with this. ” Eva Jinek later stated that from now on she wants to know ‘approximately’ what her guests are going to do.

Katja Schuurman, who was also a guest on the talk show to talk about the new program she is making with Koning and Edson da Graca, assisted the comedian and made another revelation. “Edson and I were allowed to join Beau, but Martijn was not welcome either, because RTL program.”
King had never heard that before. “I will find out now? That makes it all worse, ”he responded.
RTL is not yet available for comment.
