Gordon has learned little from his almost year-long PR break. He had his first tantrum last week, just 24 hours after his Instagram comeback. “Don’t do this,” says Aran Bade.
Anyone who thought that Gordon would come back from his social media recess rejuvenated is completely wrong: he is exactly the same as before. Less than 24 hours after his Instagram comeback, Goor flew into a rage last week juice from his former ally Yvonne Coldeweijer. “Fuckin’ b*llshit,” the fallen entertainer bellowed.
Rancid things
What exactly did Yvonne claim? That a return of Joling & Gordon over de Vloer was being worked on, but that Gerard Joling would have decided against it after Gordon’s disastrous interview in Beau van Erven Dorens’ uncritical TV show. In it, Goor said the most raunchy things about his ex-boyfriend Gavin Rozario.
Gordon’s furious response to this surprised critics, because he indicated that from now on he only wanted to post single promotion and career-related things on Instagram. And now this… You wonder what the year’s PR silence was for. Was it really a year of contemplation or had Gordon simply forgotten his password?
“Will he last?”
Show expert Aran Bade sets RTL Boulevard that Gordon seems to have difficulty adapting himself to a new attitude. “The question is of course: will he continue to do it in his new way, namely calmer and more self-reflective? And to find more peace in music.”
Colleague Lex Uiting: “Well, of course he took a swipe at Yvonne Coldeweijer on Instagram, who then started a rumor that there would be a series with Gerard Joling. He also has a new name. His name is no longer Gordon, but Gordon Heuckeroth.”
‘Don’t do that’
A new stage name, but the same old tantrums, Aran notes. “That’s what we have to call him now, yes. I do wonder… Look, because we always wish Gordon that success. I mean: he always argues with the media, including with us, like: ‘You don’t want it from me.’”
He continues: “Of course we went through the whole process with Gavin, that interview with Beau didn’t really do him any good either. I see that post about Yvonne Coldeweijer… Then don’t respond to that, don’t do that.”
Long toes
One salient gossip from Yvonne on a pink background and Gordon’s blood pressure shoots up again. Aran: “He says himself: ‘I’m not going to fall for it again’, but he does it again. If there are three negative comments about this album, don’t respond immediately on Instagram.”
From calm to frenzy… Presenter Daphne Bunskoek concludes: “I think it is very difficult for some people to hold back if you are active there yourself and are also someone who quickly reports or reports something.”
