Gordon Wilkins

Gordon Wilkins is Sally’s ex-husband and Cyraxx’s former step-father. He has become notable for openly speaking about Chance and the rest of the family through livestreams alongside his current wife, Jenni.

History

Gordon was married to Sally Arntzen for around 9 years. He had little to no contact with the rest of the Arntzens, with the only known interaction being Ruple and Connie’s marriage, where he acted as the wedding officiant. He noted that Ruple was very immature for his age and that Connie was visibly mentally impaired, giving him the impression that Ruple was manipulating Connie.

When Sally unilaterally decided to adopt Cyraxx in 1994, the decision caused significant frictions between the two, as Gordon was unwilling to have children. Although Gordon tried to be a good father figure, Sally's cavalier attitude and the stress of raising Chance continued to wear off his patience until he had enough and decided to divorce her somewhere between 1998 and 2000. Sally struggled to accept this decision and, over the next few years, pestered Gordon to revive their relationship and force the role of Chance's father onto him. In 2002, after Sally learned that Gordon moved to Florida, she also decided to move in the state, with the pretext that she wanted Chance to be "closer to his father".

In 2014, Sally made another push, and this time she surreptitiously reached out to Jenni, who was mostly unaware of the backstory between her and Gordon, as a way to sneak in behind Gordon's back. Jenni took pity onto Chance, sympathizing with his harsh family background, and accepted to recieve him for a couple of days to give him a good life experience. Gordon only learned of this after the fact, and was forced to go along with the plan.

This holiday for Chance took the form of a camping trip. Although at the beginning he acted nicely around Jenni and Gordon, his true colors would rapidly start to show when he had a freak-out one night after convincing himself that his aunt had died. When Jenni tried to reason him, he quickly became hostile to the point where she had to throw him out of the house until he cooled down. The camping trip himself went mostly without incident, but Chance was very uninterested and refused to partake in most activities and tasks, preferring to remain glued to his phone. The straw that broke the camel's back for Gordon was when Chance showered upon returning home and left the bathroom in complete disarray, causing Gordon to call chance "the laziest white boy he's ever seen". Chance barked back by calling Gordon a deadbeat, which caused the latter to snap and ram Chance against a wall threatening to cave his teeth in. Chance was then promptly kicked out of the house and back to 339.

Not one to leave a good grudge go, in 2018, four years after the holiday, Cyraxx produced a video where he slanders both Gordon and his wife Jenni, calling them abusive alcoholics and warping the camping trip story to paint himself as a victim and claim that he left on his own volition, as opposed to being kicked out.

Starting in early summer 2024, rumors circulated that Gordon had passed away from cancer, although these claims remain largely unsubstantiated.

Interviews

On October 22nd 2023, MusicBizMarty reached out to Gordon who accepted to conduct a live interview, during which he adresses the 2018 defamation video Chance had made and told the story about the camping trip. Cyraxx pops in several times during this livestream, raging at the top of his lungs at Gordon and Jenni who are hysterically laughing at each of his appearances.

Highlights

• On his first night at Gordon's house, Cyraxx saw a Facebook post from his aunt containing a photo of herself surrounded by dogs and presumably her grand-children with the caption "I have died and went to heaven". Cyraxx bemusedly took this literally and started to panic, demanding Jenni to let him return home. When Jenni attempted to reason him and calm him down, Cyraxx started becoming hostile and accused Jenni of hating him. The situation escalated to the point where Jenni had to walk Cyraxx out of the house until he calmed down. Cyraxx remained enraged for a while, banging on the door and threatening to urinate on it. Jenni claims that she did not lock the door. Gordon was returning home and found Cyraxx standing outside, and threatened him into acting more respectfully.
  • This event explains Cyraxx's claim that Jenni had "physically attacked him" and that he was left to "freeze" outside. Keep in mind this occured in Florida, where temperatures average at around 75°F (23°C) at the time of the incident.
• Cyraxx claimed in his video that Gordon had attempted to trick him into drinking alcohol. Gordon explains that on their first night together, he took Cyraxx to a buffet restaurant and bought him a beer out of courtesy, which he did not drink.

Controversy

In January 2024, Gordon claimed that he and Jenni had filed a defamation lawsuit against Cyraxx on their The Real Wilkins Family channel. However, as the weeks went by, very little seemed to come out of this, causing people to question whether Gordon actually intended to file a lawsuit or if this was simply a lie to foam up his channel and donations from viewers eager to see Chance getting brought to justice. Questions about Gordon's transparency were being promptly deleted from his livestreams, becoming defensive and telling a viewer to "fuck off" on one occasion. Additionally, the case number of the lawsuit was "24-434343/339CA", a very obvious inside reference to Cyraxx. Later in the month, Gordon suddenly disappeared off the internet and deleted his YouTube channel shortly after, leading to the conclusion that indeed the lawsuit was fake, with the presumed intent of grifting donation money from viewers before running away with his gains.
