Betrayal and Broken Bonds: estelle Cruijff and Jaimie Vaes Speak Out

Eighteen months ago, the documentary “Koen Aandachtsjunk” shocked the social scene. Filmmaker Koen Pieter van Dijk made explosive accusations against his former friends, Estelle Cruijff and Jaimie Vaes. Now, both women are speaking out, expressing their hurt and disillusionment over the way they were portrayed.

Estelle Cruijff reflects on the experience with sadness: “I’ve always been so good to Koen. During the making of the documentary, my father was passing away, but I still supported him. I showed up for him, through everything.” Despite her unwavering loyalty, she feels Koen’s accusations were unfair and lacked gratitude. “It feels like a stink of gratitude,” she shares, adding, “I thought that was very selfish, and I didn’t deserve that.”

The fallout was devastating. The friendship is irreparably broken, leaving Estelle without contact with Koen. She believes in the importance of mutual respect in relationships, stating, “I don’t like it when people go over dead bodies. I prefer a friendship filled with love and harmony.” Deeply hurt, she emphasizes, “If I treat you with respect, I expect you to do the same with me.”

Jaimie Vaes shares the same sense of betrayal. She expressed the pain saying, “It may have been a little more painful for me as I really mourned that. I actually cried.” She is perplexed by the accusation and questions why she was misled. “Koen specifically asked for our help with the documentary,” she explains, “so we went into it very blindly as good friends.” The documentary’s premiere came as a shock, amplifying the hurt and confusion.
