Ferry Doedens is in the gutter, addicted and now the center of a huge media riot. How does a boy like that look at that? Does it matter to him? No, says Aran Bade. “It’s difficult.”
Friend and enemy agree: Ferry Doedens is in the ditch and he made it like that himself. Everyone has turned their backs on him, including his mother. His manager Christian Looman lasted a long time, but also resigned. How does such a boy overcome his addictions on his own?
Annoying
The documentary about Ferry’s life has made him the center of a national media riot. How does he view this himself? “Difficult to say,” says star reporter Aran Bade RTL Boulevard. “Good under the circumstances.”
How does Aran know that? “I spoke at length with his ex-manager Christian Looman today. He has distanced himself from all work surrounding Ferry, because it is impossible to work with. He told me that Ferry does not follow it, he does not want to see it all and thinks it is all a fuss about nothing really.”
Informed
Ferry sticks his head in the sand. “He does not want to be informed of this. As a result, Christiaan does not really know how he is doing, but also not the situation. Ferry himself does not know that either.”
The money that Ferry collects with the Amazon documentary has now been transferred to him, and not to an intermediary, as previously claimed. “That accountant no longer wants to work with Ferry. We have checked this through various sources.”
Out of control
Nobody helps Ferry anymore, according to Aran. “What I do understand, and you see this in the pattern of people who are addicted – because let’s just tell it how it is -, is that those people all have safety nets, but if at a certain point things get too far out of hand, then those people also disappear.”
He continues: “That is what is happening now. That is why I find it so poignant, a real pain in my stomach, when I see those images again of Ferry with that chin and that addiction.”
Crypto
The fear is that the money Ferry makes with that documentary will go to his addictions. His addictions to drugs and trading in crypto coins, with which he has already lost 50 thousand euros.
Aran concludes: “Let’s hope that the money he gets for this does not go to crypto or those drugs and that we will speak to Ferry himself soon.”
