It’s a bumblebee at Shownieuws: star photographer William Rutten doesn’t like the fact that his good friend Gordon has been put through the wringer like that. He thinks Patty Brard in particular is fake…
Almost all Shownieuws experts have certain celebrities with whom they are friends and about whom they will never criticize. That’s what Evert Santegoeds is like these days besties with the reprehensible Peter Gillis, Guido den Aantrekker cuddles incessantly with Rachel Hazes and Anouk Smulders is in deep trouble with the Borsatootjes.
Do not feel like
It sometimes leads to uncomfortable situations, including last night. When Bart Ettekoven wants to express justified criticism of Gordon for the umpteenth time, he is attacked head-on by his good friend William Rutten.
Bart says that Gordon had recordings for the new Meilandjes program, but that he did not want to speak to a camera crew from Shownieuws on location. “I also understand that he understands that when we come we will also ask questions about that past week and the criticism that there has been and that he did not really feel like it.”
“You guys are bashing!”
Yes, logical, says William. “That he didn’t feel like being bashed by you again, for the third night in a row!”, he shouts.
Bart calmly: “I know you are a good friend of his, but you thought he sang in tune?”
William: “That was not the point, but there was a lot of bashing here.”
Bart: “You say: ‘We bash him’, but we don’t bash him. We are just honest about what we hear.”
Criticism from Patty
William then starts talking about Patty Brard, who repeatedly shouted in Shownieuws on Saturday evening that she wants everything so much for Gordon, but in the meantime has received hate messages from Connie Witteman about the singer. like and emphasizes that his ticket sales are incredibly bad.
False, William thinks. “If you were sitting here yesterday saying: ‘Well, we wish him all the best, but his cards are not going anywhere! But we wish him full houses!’”
Nonsense
Bart thinks William’s criticism is nonsense. “We also had this discussion yesterday, but we also say this when someone sells out within an hour. If Anouk sells out within fifteen minutes, we will say so.”
Private boss Evert Santegoeds then addresses William about the ugly comment Gordon made about Dries Roelvink. “That’s not necessary, is it, William? If you want to make a quiet comeback and then you start again like this…”
William: “No, that is not necessary. No no no. No no no.”
‘Without lying!’
What, according to William, explains the poor ticket sales? “Theatres also often rely on subscriptions and such. Theaters don’t always sell out right away. That’s true.”
Nonsense, according to Bart. “In the week that you create so much publicity for something, you have to sell out a considerable percentage of your venue. Anyway, again: we hope it is sold out in June, because we wish him that, we really do.”
William: “Stop it man! And now without lying!”
All in all, Shownieuws is once again crying foul.
