Matthijs van Nieuwkerk’s career is still on hold. He now has a new contract with RTL, but this collaboration has been postponed for a while. There is currently too much negativity surrounding the presenter. Although the tide seems to be turning, now that the possibly infamous video with Matthijs’ ‘not so pleasant behavior’ at DWDD is going around the internet. His behavior appears to be a lot less intense than previously thought.
Infamous video about Matthijs van Nieuwkerk
No one could have missed the results of the investigation into inappropriate behavior at the NPO. This investigation was conducted at the time following misconduct in the TV program De Wereld Draait Door, and in particular by presenter Matthijs van Nieuwkerk. Behind the scenes there would have been not only verbal violence, but also physical violence. Matthijs is then also accused of this, who denies the physical violence itself. “Yes, I was sometimes verbally tough, but never physically,” said Matthijs.
In any case, opinions differ on this. After the published research, the reports surrounding Matthijs remained negative, causing RTL to postpone the collaboration for the time being. Even his ‘friend’ Özcan Akyol threw him to the lions at one point. Then during a broadcast of Today Inside he suddenly talked about a ‘notorious video’ with Matthijs’ ‘not so pleasant behaviour’. However, to this day, no one knew which video it was. But maybe that will change, because a video with Matthijs is going viral on TikTok. And: it looks like the infamous video Özcan is talking about. However, Matthijs looks a lot less intense. In any case, less intense than Özcan made it seem. “The words that are there, how they treat each other. Then I thought: I don’t know this side of you very well either,” he said at the time.
Images from documentary
Juice queen Yvonne Coldeweijer has also received the TikTok video in question. “Us darling, is this the video?” she writes on the Instagram story of her juice channel Life of Yvonne. She is quite surprised by the video, which Özcan may have been talking about. She wonders “why he exaggerated the content so much.” In the video the presenter is a bit angry, but verbally it does not become very violent. The DWDD editors around him fall silent, but nevertheless it all seems fairly normal. By the way, the images also come from a documentary about DWDD. If this is the infamous video, it would certainly have been public images.
“Is this it?”
In addition to Yvonne, people on TikTok also react with surprise to the images. “If this man is canceled for this, we are all lost,” writes one person, while another says: “I would say: come and film our meetings sometime. I think we will all be removed. ..” Even more people call him a ‘critical, sharp, intelligent man’ and indeed see a man who ‘just’ wants to make a good TV program.
