Mayor Apologizes to Kylie and Jason Kelce After Jersey Shore Woman Screams at Them for Rejecting Photo Request
The couple was reportedly entering a restaurant on the Jersey Shore for a date night when the woman "started screaming at Kylie" for a photo
Margate City Mayor Michael Collins has apologized to Jason and Kylie Kelce after a woman harassed the couple during a recent date night in New Jersey.
According to blogger Hugh E. Dillon, Kylie, 32, and Jason, 36, were heading into Steve & Cookie’s Restaurant and Oyster Bar in Margate City, New Jersey on Saturday, May 25 when the woman demanded a photo from the NFL star and his wife.
After Kylie and Jason politely declined to take a photo, the woman "wouldn't take no for an answer" and "started screaming at Kylie," according to Dillon's post on X (formerly known as Twitter).
On May 29, Mayor Collins issued an apology and offered to help the couple redo their date night in South Jersey. "On behalf of the City of Margate, I'd like to formally apologize to Jason and Kylie Kelce for the experience they had in Margate City over the holiday weekend," the Mayor wrote in his statement.
"As a father with young children, I know as well as anyone the importance of a date night with your wife and would like to offer a redo date night with dinner on me," Collins added.
A short video of the incident made its way onto social media, showing Kylie standing her ground as the woman yelled at her.
Kylie can be heard saying “I can smell the alcohol on your breath, you’re embarrassing yourself,” after the woman threatened that Kylie would "never be allowed in this town again," during the heated exchange.
Kylie and Jason have yet to comment on the incident with the woman, but other fans in the New Jersey area have reported pleasant interactions with the Kelce's during recent run-ins.

Dillon said that the couple was "very accommodating" to fans asking for pictures on the beach over the weekend.
And when a woman posted a TikTok about spotting Kylie on a beach walk and deciding to give her her personal space, Kylie commented on the video and said she'd keep her "eyes peeled" for the girl so she could say hello in the future.
Luckily, the unfortunate encounter with the woman didn't keep Jason and Kylie from enjoying their dinner. According to Dillon, the couple "walked right into the restaurant and enjoyed their night," after the incident.

"Shore is fun. It was good to be out there. It's the first really big weekend of the year. So all the businesses are back up and running. So, yep, it's like you never left," the former Eagles center added.
