Glennis Grace was interviewed in 2011 by Frank Awick, who worked at AT5 at the time. During that interview, Glennis was almost hit by a car and she suspects Frank had something to do with it. Now, twelve years later, she is still mad at him. According to Frank, Glennis doesn’t even want to join Koffietijd because he works there…
Glennis and Frank were talking to the camera in the middle of the street at the time. And just when Glennis was proudly talking about the lovely people in the Jordaan, the singer was almost hit by a car.
Row
Glennis quickly pulled over in front of the car. “Klerelijer!” she shouted angrily after the motorist. And that was not appreciated: the motorist stopped his car further on and approached her menacingly.
“What did you say to me?” said the driver. “You are standing in the middle of the road here. Be glad I brake and wait for you. Klerelijer? I’ll pound you into the hospital!” Glennis was not afraid of the man. “Well then you have to see what happens to you!”
‘Staged’
Glennis suspects Frank of having staged this for the ratings. And now, twelve years later, she’s still mad at Frank. ,,Glennis still thinks, twelve years later, that the confrontation with the angry gentleman in the car was staged by me or people from AT5. She even proclaimed that we desperately needed these kinds of confrontations for the ratings. Total nonsense,” says Frank in conversation with the weekly magazine Privé. “I was just as shocked then and I look forward to putting things in scene. After all, something like that always comes out. She personally blames me for the fact that her screeching images are now seen as historical television.”
Coffee time
Frank currently works behind the scenes at Koffietijd and according to him, Glennis therefore wants nothing to do with the program. “She has said to colleagues: ‘As long as Frank works there, you don’t have to call me!”‘
