“We received a report of an assault tonight,” said a spokesman for the Amsterdam police. “The suspect got into a car and drove away. A little later we saw him driving on the Stadhouderskade. The suspect was arrested there. It concerns a 27-year-old Amsterdammer.” Police say an investigation will be conducted Monday.
Surveillance images
Sunday night shared juice channel life or Yvonne ‘surveillance images’ on Instagram, which would show that Lil Kleine (27) is pulling his fiancée Jaimie Vaes (32) by her hair from a car. The Telegraph lawyer Nienke Hoogervorst, who previously assisted the rapper in various cases, has asked for a response in writing.
When asked, the rapper’s management says: “We have also seen images that were distributed tonight via social media. The management of Jaimie and Jorik is in close contact with both and will provide a further statement at a later date. No comment will be made until further notice. For now, we ask the family to leave it alone.”

‘Cut off, man’
It didn’t take long before famous Dutch people reacted to the images. Jim Bakkum writes on Instagram: “I just saw the security images of an artist who pulled his girlfriend out of the car by her hair during an argument. (…) Just to be clear, no matter what a woman says to you and no matter how angry she makes you, physically keep your feet off her at all times.”
The singer and actor says he is in shock after seeing the images. “What disrespect towards the woman in general, but in this case towards the MOTHER OF YOUR CHILD. Hoods, man.”
‘Not okay’
Presenter and gourmet Miljuschka Witzenhausen is also upset about what she saw. My stomach just turned when I looked at the images at Life of Yvonne† A violent abuse of Jaimie Vaes by Lil Kleine. We cannot ignore this. Last time we knew, but had no images of the moment. Now we see. I hope this ends well and quickly. Because this is not okay.”
With ‘the last time’ Miljuschka refers to an incident in Ibiza, at the end of May 2021, in which the rapper would have been violent towards Jaimie Vaes, with whom he has son Lío (2). The two kept their mouths shut about what exactly happened that night.
“It just wasn’t such a nice evening,” Jaimie reflected in her reality soap Jaimie: In The Vaes Lane† “If I could turn back time, I probably wouldn’t have gone. Maybe it would have gone wrong another time. Maybe this would have happened anyway, but not that night in that spot. I do not know.”
Abuse
Lil Kleine was sentenced to 120 hours of community service last Friday for assaulting a man in a nightclub in Amsterdam. The judge considered it proven that the rapper, along with two other men, had grabbed the victim, kicked the body and punched him in the face.
Jorik Scholten, as the artist is called in real life, announced through his lawyer Nienke Hoogervorst that he would appeal the sentence imposed on him.
