In her recently published book Wat de Fak, former Flikken Maastricht actress Maryam Hassouni accuses a male opponent of sexually transgressive behavior. Maryam calls this man “Henk” in her book. He would play with her in “an NPO series”. This series bears striking similarities to the crime series Flikken Rotterdam, the TV variant Maryam was seen in in the first and second seasons. Since Maryam does not say in her book about which male opponent she is guilty of sexually transgressive behavior towards her and does not do it elsewhere, all her male opponents in Flikken Rotterdam are now suddenly suspicious! Much to the dismay of the actor Huub Stapel, who can still be seen in Flikken Rotterdam as the prosecutor Hein Berg. “Maryam should have named names,” Huub tells Story. “The man you refer to is called Henk in the book. My name is Hubs. They both start with an H, so people might think, where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Terrible.

It wasn’t in the script and there was absolutely no reason to hit me. Suddenly he was calmer than ever. “Stop!” the manager exclaimed. I stood up, straightened up and looked around. I saw shocked eyes looking at me and then Henk, but nobody said anything. What was I supposed to do? And why did everyone keep their mouths shut? The discomfort grew. It seemed to last minutes, that silence.’ This scene was broadcast on February 5, 2016 in the fifth episode of the first season of Flikken Rotterdam. In that scene, Maryam is lifted in their pub by co-star Cees Geel and slapped on the buttocks…
