Omroepbaas Jan Slagter acknowledges that his fight with presenter Özcan Akyol about his statements about Matthijs van Nieuwkerk is a “personal issue”. He said that on Wednesday in the radio program Spraakmakers .
Slagter said in Shownieuws on Monday that Akyol no longer has to count on a new contract. According to the boss of Omroep Max, this is because Akyol did not apologize in the Zomergasten program for his statements from a year and a half ago about a video of alleged verbal cross -border behavior by Van Nieuwkerk. Because the video has never become public, people doubt whether the video really exists.
“Özcan called me in April 2024, when I was on vacation in Spain, and warned me about those images,” Slagter said in the radio program. According to the Omroepbaas, that ruined his vacation at the time. “I thought: have I really not seen that well? Have I been so stupid? And so it turned out to be a gross lie, those images did not exist,” he said. “He never apologized for that towards me.”
Slagter is angry because Akyol has lied “knowingly” to “mislead him”. That still touches him. “And then you have a chance, and a stage to offer your excuse. To say: I was wrong, I was stupid. He didn’t do that, he turned around. I just can’t stand that.”
The Omroepbaas acknowledges that he did the statements on Monday evening at Shownieuws “from a certain emotion”. But he does not take back his statements about Akyol. “I thought about it,” said Slagter in Spraakmakers . “And I take the responsibility for myself. But that moment in Spain, when he said:” It’s all much worse than you think, Jan, “that is still very deep in my brain.”
According to Slagter, Akyol has never apologized to Van Nieuwkerk for his statements.
