Huijbregts and Verhulst Feud Continues Following Talk Show Incident

The relationship between Belgian television personality Gert Verhulst and comedian Marc-Marie Huijbregts remains strained following a heated exchange during a talk show appearance last October. The incident, stemming from a question about the Dutch program Vandaag Inside, has resulted in a prolonged period of silence between the two figures.

The Incident on De Tafel van Gert

Huijbregts was a guest on Verhulst’s talk show, De Tafel van Gert, in October. During the conversation, Verhulst asked Huijbregts if he was a regular viewer of Vandaag Inside. Huijbregts responded that he did not watch the program and did not want to discuss it. According to Thomas van Groningen, who was also a guest on the show, Huijbregts left the studio in anger immediately after the exchange.

Escalation and Reactions

The situation escalated when Verhulst pressed the issue, despite Huijbregts’ clear discomfort. Huijbregts expressed concern that the discussion would be rehashed on Vandaag Inside itself, a program known for its critical commentary. He responded with visible frustration, stating, “Yes, have fun with that!” before expressing his displeasure with the line of questioning to Verhulst.

Goedele Liekens Weighs In

On Thursday evening, Goedele Liekens appeared on Vandaag Inside to discuss the ongoing disagreement between Verhulst and Huijbregts. Liekens stated that Verhulst was fully aware of what he was doing when he brought up Vandaag Inside. René van der Gijp commented that Verhulst likely didn’t realize the depth of Huijbregts’ feelings, and that they themselves were unaware of the extent of the issue. Liekens suggested that while Verhulst was permitted to provoke such a reaction, he should “own” it and not pretend to be unaware of the consequences. Shownieuws reported on Liekens’ comments.
