JP Kraemer Announces Withdrawal After Admitting Assault and Saying He Will Close His Firms

The disclosures threaten the future of his multi-company business, prompting legal review.

Overview

  • Kraemer published a second video on August 28 in which he admitted to physical assaults and showed November 2024 surveillance footage that appears to show him grabbing his wife by the neck, pushing her and pulling her hair.
  • Police intervened at the couple’s home on July 26 and prosecutors are now reviewing criminal complaints that were filed after the incident.
  • Several commercial partners and platforms have severed ties or removed products and content, including the drink brand Gönrgy, the streaming service Joyn and Borussia Dortmund.
  • Kraemer has told staff he will take therapy, has travelled to the Bahamas to stay with his father, and in a September 1 video said he will close JP Performance and all related companies.
  • His businesses span dozens of subsidiaries and roughly €100–110 million in annual sales, so the combined reputational and legal fallout risks staff departures, asset sales or full wind-downs that will affect employees and partners.
