His buttocks were worked with a wooden spatula and a ‘spicy balm’, with the spatula with balm being taken down ‘from his buttocks through his scrotum’. Eva then bursts out laughing, but according to her that is not ‘because of a bad incident that bothered someone’.
She has released an extensive statement on social media to clarify her point. ‘There was laughter about it then, and at the table, because the men were friends with each other, constantly played these pranks on each other as friends among themselves.’

After the criticism and hypocrisy accusations, Eva picked up the phone to call Anthony and ask about his experience.

Ricky van den Bergh was his ‘very best friend’ within the team and he liked Sjaak Polak ‘very much’. It never bothered him. ‘Not then and not now’, because as far as he was concerned it was just a very well-done joke that matched how they interacted with each other.’
Furthermore, the presenter states that she was aware of the mutual relationship between the men and that they were close teammates. “So we weren’t sitting around the table laughing at a bad incident that bothered someone.”
