News Exclusive: Robert Van Damme’s Statement to Police

As we reported yesterday, porn superstar Robert Van Damme is currently jailed in Orange County, California, on charges of domestic violence and contempt of court. Now, VincentLambert.com has exclusively obtained a copy of the statement that Van Damme gave to police following his arrest earlier this year. In the statement, Van Damme recounts how he returned from a business trip to Chicago at the end of March. After having his nose broken in a hockey game, the Czech Republic native was in pain and tired from his travels. When an argument broke out between his wife and one of her daughters (Van Damme is not the father), he attempted to intervene and he claims that his wife responded by hitting him.

“My wife started beating me on the back and shoulders and head to get me to leave the room,” Van Damme told police. “She was pushing me out of the room while hitting me and yelling and screaming at me to leave.” Van Damme alleges that his wife grabbed a lamp and hit him in his broken nose. “The intense pain was immediate and I reacted by trying to get her away from me. My right hand hit behind me and the edge of my fingertips hit the corner of her mouth. I did not mean to hit her. I was in such pain that I simply reacted and tried to stop her from hitting me.”

Van Damme says that he left their house but then returned to get his cell phone and some money. He says his wife had his phone and proceeded to smash it in front of him. “When I walked back out of the house to leave,” he recounted, “the police were there and they arrested me. They put me in the back of the police car with handcuffs on. While sitting there I could read the monitor and saw that the screen said the 911 call came from the same number of her daughter’s phone.”

At this time, Van Damme was jailed in Huntington Beach, California. He was eventually released on bail and returned to his family until his arrest last week for missing a court appearance related to these charges. Van Damme, who started his own RVD Films last year with his wife, alleges that she has since conspired to take the company from him, denied him access to the business and shut him out of all their accounts. She has also revoked her support of his immigration status, leaving him vulnerable to deportation. Subsequently, a restraining order has been issued to keep Van Damme away from his wife and her daughters, and his wife has filed for divorce.

In his closing remarks, Van Damme admitted his wrongs. “I made a mistake that I regret,” he said. “There is no excuse for ever hitting someone, much less a woman. However now I feel that I am the victim of a terrible plot to steal my money and company.”

Van Damme will face a judge later today regarding these charges, pretrial hearing and bail. Then he will address his immigration status. We’ll have more on this developing story…

Porn superstar and director Robert Van Damme has been arrested and charged with domestic violence and contempt of court. Earlier today, VincentLambert.com was contacted by an attorney representing Van Damme, who says that the star of films such as The Hunted, Dirty Muscle and the Private Party series is “being detained in Orange County, California, and is working hard to avoid deportation and criminal charges.” His bond is set at $100,000, and he’s scheduled to appear at a court hearing on May 27. Van Damme has pleaded not guilty to the charges. The former hockey player from the Czech Republic started his own RVD Films with his wife last year after working for Hot House, Mustang and other major studios. More details on this story as they develop…

News: Will Clark Appears in Off-Broadway Play


Veteran porn stars don’t all fade away. Last week, we had news about Colton Ford hosting a new event in NYC. Now comes word that Will Clark has gone legit and is appearing in an off-Broadway play. Of course, Clark has never strayed too far from the industry. Since starring in numerous movies in the ’90s (including faves such as Man Watch, Night Walk and Island Guardian), he’s been doing charity work for the gays and hosting benefits and events like this and this. But now Will is returning to his first love (acting) and is performing live onstage in a new play titled When Joey Married Bobby.

There he is in the back row on the left in the pic above. Cleans up nice, right? He actually plays a homeless guy in the show. Next to him is hunky former Detroit Tiger pitcher Matthew Pender. He plays Joey, one of the grooms in the title. Former Village People cowboy Randy Jones is also in the show (pictured below with Clark in character), along with local dragster Lady Clover Honey. Now that’s an eclectic cast, to say the least! We actually saw an earlier incarnation of the play (when it featured Lady Bunny in a hilarious turn as a wedding guest) and it does keep the LOLs coming. The show runs at the Roy Arias Theatre in the Times Square Arts Center (300 West 43rd Street) at least through May 29 (you never know with theater). For more information, visit WhenJoeyMarriedBobby.com. Btw, VincentLambert.com readers can use the code WCBingo for a special discount on tickets.

In other Clark news, Will tells us that his popular Porno Bingo night at Pieces in the Village is now in its sixth year and has raised more than $120,000 for local LBGT charities. He’ll be traveling to L.A. to MC the Second Brevity Fest at El Cid in Silver Lake on June 3. Back on local ground, he’ll do a reading at an event called In the Flesh at Happy Endings Lounge (302 Broome Street) on June 17. And finally, despite reports to the contrary, the wet-and-wild Bad Boys on the Hudson cruise will sail once again on July 11 with porn superstar Michael Brandon and other top models on board. The full lineup will be announced at WillClarkWorld.com on June 1. See how busy some “retired” porn stars are!?

Scene Stealer: Ettore Tosi and Philippe Delvaux


Italian auteur Lucas Kazan has two hotties steaming up his site. Veteran star Ettore Tosi and newbie Philippe Delvaux are featured in a sexy new scene, and director Kazan recalled some specifics for us: “I picked up Philippe at the Brindisi airport,” he says. “One look at the Belgian 19-year-old and manly Ettore and I knew their scene would be a breeze—if they didn’t get their hands on each other the night before! Luckily, the sexual energy and hot flip-flop were spared for the camera.” Whew, close call, Luca! Porn fans are the winners here. For more information, visit LucasKazan.com.
