Kim Kardashian’s pal Jonathan Cheban says ‘idiot’ Mayor Bill de Blasio ‘has destroyed’ NYC and claims ‘I can’t imagine living there again’
Jonathan Cheban wants to sell his apartment in New York City, after his $250,000 watch was stolen during a harrowing gunpoint robbery earlier this month.
‘I can’t be there. It’s very traumatic to be there,’ the 46-year-old reality star, known as Foodgod, told Page Six on Monday. ‘I want to sell my apartment in New York for sure because I can’t imagine living there again.’
While he was robbed in New Jersey, Cheban slammed Mayor Bill de Blasio for his lack of action over a recent spike in armed robberies, among Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

‘Daytime, nighttime, afternoon, Midtown, Uptown, Downtown, the mayor has destroyed the city,’ he told the outlet. ‘It’s depressing. It’s scary. I was on edge before, but now I’m even more on edge, obviously.
He added: ‘I’m just confused as to how they’re allowing this to happen,’ he said. ‘I just cannot believe [New Yorkers] would vote for this idiot two times.’
Additionally, the star is grappling on how to cope after the ‘horrifying’ and ‘definitely a life-changing experience.’

The traumatic incident happened in the quiet, upscale suburban neighborhood of Englewood Cliffs on Sunday evening while the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star was with a friend and mother, Galina.
‘It was frightening, I want the guys caught,’ Cheban told DailyMail.com exclusively.
‘The mugger had a gun pointed at my mother’s head,’ Cheban added. ‘There were two gunmen. It was frightening. It happened at 8:30 pm last night just as the sun was going down.’

This comes almost four years after Jonathan’s good friend Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint inside her Paris hotel, The Hotel Pourtalès, during fashion week.
The gunmen barged their way into the room where Kim was with an assistant.
The men eventually tied Kim up and locked her in a bathroom as they stole her jewelry worth over $10M.
Kim has since said the robbery changed her life and she often does not go out with big items on. It also turned her focus in life toward her family and charity.
