During a segment, where listener Julia asked for advice on her sex life, suggested Jönsson that her partner should try prostitution.

– Maybe he should go to Copenhagen and pay for sex, he said.

This led to strong reactions from both the presenter Farah Abadi and the panelist Jennie Walldén. The program was temporarily interrupted, and Jönsson was forced to leave the studio.

The statement has since attracted a lot of attention and criticism on social media. In an interview with Dagens Nyheter, Jönsson expresses remorse and apologizes.

– I apologize so terribly. I understand that it was inappropriate and that many people took offense, said Jönsson, who also distanced himself from all forms of sex buying and human trafficking.

In a post on X, Jönsson explains that he tried to create dynamism in the program but that it “went completely wrong”.

“Regarding my participation in the program Söndag in P4 today, I want to apologize for what happened. I tried to contribute for the good of the program and create dynamics, but it was completely wrong. I distance myself from all forms of sex buying,” he writes.

DN's editor-in-chief Peter Wolodarski informs Aftonbladet that he will talk to Jönsson about the incident before giving further comments.
