Fajah Lourens believes that Yvonne Coldeweijer practices sewage journalism and states that she makes mistakes but does not admit them. “I should have let her cook in her own soap.”
The gossip about a possible affair with Ruud de Wild has generated a lot of attention for Fajah Lourens and her new book, but she still does not want to thank the source – Yvonne Coldeweijer. In fact, she is quite pissed off about Yvonne’s claim that she went through life as Nicole Lourens during her youth. And therefore not as Fajah.
Let it trigger
Does Fajah think that as a celebrity you should respond to the juice channels? “No, not Ruud’s, no, but later she started talking about my not being called Fajah. Then I allowed myself to be triggered,” she says The Friday Move. “She came up with that, that that’s not my name. Or her spies.”
What exactly is the situation? “Yes, yes, my name is Fajah Hanna Nicole, but once, when I was ashamed of my name Fajah, and we moved from east to north, I used Nicole as my name from the age of twelve to eighteen. ”
‘Very sorry’
So Fajah was first called Fajah, then Nicole and now Fajah again. Then the juice didn’t come completely out of thin air, did it? “You know what I just hate about it? Of course you can say and think anything. But in this case, she shares it with…”
Host Wilfred Genee: “I assume it’s about Yvonne Coldeweijer now.”
Fajah: “Yes, I mispronounced her surname on TV and she was offended by that – I won’t repeat her surname because I obviously don’t know it – which caused her to sort of attack that my name is not what I am.”
Sewer journalism
Now Fajah is disappointed with the way she reacted in this passport gate. “I then very childishly, because I was triggered by it, shared my passport and tagged her. And if you are a good journalist, you correct your mistake. And so she didn’t do that.”
That’s mean, Fajah thinks. “She always talks about the truth. “The men must tell the truth.” But if you then discover that you are not telling the truth, then you just leave it alone. So my grandfather would have called that sewer journalism.”
‘It moves me’
Fajah is very disappointed. “So this hit me. I always think: if something touches you, it says something about how you view yourself or something, because why would it affect you if you’re just feeling good and someone says: you don’t look good? Yes, you don’t care about that, because you just think you look good. So I didn’t quite understand why this affected me about my name.”
The name-fluid fitness guru concludes: “I thought it was very childish that I had shared my passport. I should have just let her cook in her soapy water. But I haven’t figured out yet why it affected me.”
