Overview
- Police in Dortmund filed a criminal complaint after an incident at Kraemer’s home that was first reported in late July and prosecutions are now ongoing.
- Kraemer publicly acknowledged physical aggression in a video he posted on Friday, admitting he ripped his wife’s necklace and struck her with a flat hand and saying the marriage has ended.
- A roughly 22-second surveillance clip from November 2024 that Kraemer released shows him grabbing his wife’s neck, pushing her against a wall and pulling her hair, which intensified public reaction.
- A family court has reportedly imposed a six-month contact ban preventing Kraemer from approaching his now‑separated wife, and press reports cite ambulance and doctor notes documenting hematomas and acute stress for her.
- Kraemer said he will take an immediate private break and begin therapy while his PACE museum and related venues were temporarily closed after threats, fan support has fallen sharply and the future of JP Performance remains uncertain.
