Oh dear Gordon, what are you doing?

This week you will be John Ewbank. You must feel quite flashed, I think. Are you a dad, and suddenly it's everywhere in the headlines that you were at Gordon on the couch doing something inappropriate. Yeah sorry, I'm past the time for nuance. John Ewbank is angry. And not just a little bit. Furious is the right word. According to him, it's complete nonsense.

In case you missed the whole scandal: Gordon is coming out today with a biography. And in that book, Gordon claims to tell everything. Also about his cocaine use. Also about things that happened ‘in the past’. And so also something with Ewbank who supposedly masturbated on his couch a few years ago while they were watching porn . “I am open, sincere, and honest. I do not lie and do not want to lie.” Gordon had already said earlier that many people would be shocked by the stories in his biography.

And now all hell has broken loose in showbiz land. The mud is flying back and forth between Team Gordon and Team Ewbank. Gordon says he did not expect Ewbank to make a problem out of the revelation. “I think John is old and wise enough to really handle that completely. It's not like we were all over each other.” Gosh. What did he expect then? That Ewbank would send him a text saying ‘Funny man, that jerk story! Hi-larious! My daughter also liked it by the way, famous dad in Gordon's book.’ Today, Ewbank reacts furiously to the whole story. “He is as always the victim. This time of his own imagination.”

A little tip from me to Gordon. If you have a juicy story next time, try not to publicly nail others to the porn pole. Not very classy. Or tell me in the evening over a wine, then of course I will hang on your every word. That's just how I am.
