On X, formerly Twitter, the statement said: “An incident occurred after last Thursday’s performance. Against clearly made agreements, Joost was filmed when he had just gotten off stage and had to rush to the green room.“This led to a threatening movement from Joost towards the camera. Joost did not touch the camerawoman. This incident was reported, followed by an investigation by the EBU and police”.
As a result of no participation from the Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final the following will take effect:He was disqualified from Saturday night’s grand final following a Swedish police investigation into allegations of inappropriate behaviour. “We would like to make it clear that, contrary to some media reports and social media speculation, this incident did not involve any other performer or delegation member.
