‘It’s done now, no point!’

Why are there still media that talk to Douwe Bob? He keeps misbehaving during interviews, now again during a conversation with the AD. “I am done!”

Douwe Bob behaved in a rare rude manner in October during a live interview with Shownieuws. So rude that presenter Dyantha Brooks decided to abruptly end the conversation. Shortly afterwards Douwe entered rehab. But that aggressive edge has remained: this week he was furious with a Telegraaf reporter. “Rats!”

‘Don’t feel like it anymore!’

It now appears that Douwe also became angry during one interview with the AD. “The conversation is 25 minutes in and Douwe is fed up. He stands up angrily, puts on his coat and determinedly pulls the peak of his cap a little further over his eyes,” writes journalist Alexander van Eenennaam.

What does the angry singer say next? That he no longer wants to continue with the interview. “It’s done now. I don’t feel like doing this anymore. I don’t want to do any more interviews with you.”

Asked for too long

What did Alexander do to get Douwe so angry? ‘Too much and too long’ asking for details. “Just listen to the tape again, you ask the same question three times,” the singer says angrily. Then cynically: “And you record everything, so you must write it all down.”

Douwe does not put his money where his mouth is: he stays put. “Douwe Bob doesn’t leave the restaurant. Something is still holding him back, while he can be home quickly: he lives just a few hundred meters away.”

‘It’s still fresh’

Ultimately, the interview is simply completed. “We still managed to get things done with this interview,” the interviewer notes.

Douwe then: “I’m happy about that too. It’s all quite fresh. Apparently you pressed on a pain point that I still have to learn to deal with. And ultimately we are just who we are. Perhaps you should write down what happened at the beginning of the interview. That can also be powerful. Just watch what you do.”

Ah, Douwe’s new interview technique: first get angry, then philosophize about the power of vulnerability.
