Patty Brard watched that documentary series about Jorik Scholten (Lil Kleine) and was shocked by his son Lío. “I can’t get over it… That baby still doesn’t talk!”
Jorik Scholten and Jaimie Vaes’ son, Lío, is now 4.5 years old, but still doesn’t talk. This is also covered in the new documentary series about the rapper on Amazon Prime. “My mother’s heart just cries when I see little Lío. It’s a really cute baby to look at, but it doesn’t talk,” says Patty Brard Show news.
A thousand days
Patty states that Lío is clearly not doing well. “It is overwhelmed with gifts, the Intertoys are being damaged, everything is being damaged. But all the child wants is attention…”
Colleague Bart Ettekoven fears that something has gone wrong with the little boy. “It’s missing the most important things. It is very well known that you are formed in the first thousand days of a child. Emotionally, in many areas. And the first thousand days of this child were of course so restless.”
Cocaine and booze
Lío’s first years were terrible, according to Bart. “With two parents who are on cocaine, drinking, arguing… You are sent from one nanny to another. He speaks English, he speaks Dutch. They themselves talk about a toxic relationship and the child was caught in the middle.”
Patty believes that Jaimie and Jorik have failed as parents. “Kleine’s sister, that very civilized girl who is also in it, told her that she had to come and babysit. They would come home at twelve o’clock, but then they would come home at five o’clock in the morning completely drunk and snorted and there would be yelling and screaming and doing.”
‘Situations like this’
The fence was then closed, Patty explains. “And then child protection had to be called, but two minutes later it was all right again. Yes, I mean: no one can follow these kinds of situations, let alone if you have to grow up in them as a small child.”
She thinks it’s horrible. “I just can’t get over it… That child doesn’t talk – and I have to be very careful what I say, because I don’t know why – and I think the situation is partly to blame for that. You also hear him say in the conversation on the beach with his producer Julian: ‘I don’t think Lío is limited, but battered.’”
Battered
As a parent, that must be terrible to say, says Patty. “Then I think: that means that you had already thought that he might have a disability, otherwise it wouldn’t be discussed like that. Battered means that he has become this way because of the situation. I find the fact that as a father you are already discussing this with a friend very intense.”
Patty hopes those two never get back together. “It would be better for him to fall back on alcohol once more than on Jaimie Vaes, to be honest, because that really wakes up the worst in each other that can be awakened. Sorry to say.”
