Woman-beating banker Jonathan Kaye’s neighbor yells ‘your father is disgusting’ as kids are seen going into his home as posh Brooklyn neighborhood erupts
Neighbors of an investment banker who was filmed punching a woman in the face were heard hurling insults at a young man and woman entering his posh Park Slope mansion on Tuesday.
The neighbor, Christine Doyle, has panned before puncher Jonathan Kaye, 52, and his family as antisocial in an interview with DailyMail.com, and made those sentiments known when the unidentified couple arrived at the $4 million four-bedroom.
“Your dad is disgusting, you better move. You’re disgusting. You’re daddy’s ab*tch,” the woman snapped, as the male member of the party let the paparazzi pour out before frantically fumbling with his keys.
Both he and his companion wore surgical masks and sunglasses, but that offered little protection from the neighbor’s rant about the now-viral footage of Kaye’s attack during Brooklyn’s Pride parade Saturday night.
“You’ve been the worst neighbors all these years,” she continued, as the two turned around trying to enter. “Your father is going to jail. You’re making me sick.’
Insults were hurled at this young man and woman as they entered a swanky Park Slope mansion on Tuesday – a home belonging to an investment banker who was filmed punching a woman in the face on Monday
Jonathan Kaye, 52, was spotted at the Brooklyn event throwing a vicious overhand strike at the unnamed woman in Park Slope. His four-bedroom mansion where the two entered is just a few blocks away and is valued at more than $4 million
The verbal attack ended when the duo finally got through the door, but earlier in the day residents of the posh enclave showed similar disgust.
Speaking to DailyMail.com, a neighbor said: ‘I can’t believe this is in my neighbourhood! When are they coming to arrest him?’
Doyle, meanwhile, added of the Moelis & Company director and his clan: “Everyone else here says hello to their neighbors.
‘They don’t say anything. They are really isolated.
‘We all know each other. But these guys have never been friendly.”
She spoke as a poster was put up not far away shaming his actions, complete with the major player’s phone number and the full address of his luxurious brownstone home.
“They never care if you say anything to them,” she continued about Kaye, hours after Kaye’s firm Moelis, a leading investment bank with offices in Midtown, confirmed to DailyMail.com that he was involved and that they were investigating.
“They think they’re above everything,” Doyle continued, angered like so many others by the circulating images.
‘Every morning he leaves at six o’clock in his big black car. Whatever he does, I’ve always said it’s the devil’s work.”
That routine apparently changed on Tuesday, with Doyle revealing she has not seen her increasingly hated neighbor since the incident on Saturday evening.
When asked what she would say to him, the woman replied: “Please leave this area because men who hit women are not welcome here.”
Kaye was recorded throwing a vicious overhand right hand at an unnamed woman during the Pride Parade nearby on Saturday.
The verbal attack ended when the duo finally got through the door, but earlier in the day residents of the posh enclave showed similar disgust.
The woman is seen being thrown to the ground by the force of the blow, although it is unclear what prompted the confrontation.
Others watching call Kaye an ‘asshole’ and tell him to ‘fuck himself’ – which catches his attention for a moment before he abruptly walks away.
The footage, meanwhile, is short and shaky, but includes a moment where Kaye turns to the camera after knocking the woman to the ground.
Kaye walks away with a bag in one hand, a wet stain on the back of his blazer.
In one clip with a caption over the footage, a user wrote: ‘This man punched me in the face and broke my nose today. [He also] my friends arrested[sic] poor… can anyone find him?’
A spokesperson for his employer confirmed to DailyMail.com that Kaye is the man seen in the viral video, saying it has already led to an investigation.
“We have become aware that one of our employees was involved in a serious incident in Brooklyn on June 8,” a Moelis representative said, as the 12-second clip continues to gain traction online.
“We are taking this matter very seriously and are conducting an investigation,” she added.
Insiders close to the 52-year-old banker claim the viral clip does not capture Saturday’s full clash, which began when a group of four female “Queers for Palestine” supporters allegedly began harassing Kaye — who is Jewish — when he returned from dinner.
Kaye allegedly told the group they were “on the wrong side,” prompting the women to act against him, the source said.
‘He just said, ‘You’re on the wrong side,’ and then all four of them came at him – throwing liquids at him. He didn’t know what the liquid was. They shouted insults at him.
‘He fell or got hit in the chest, and I can’t remember that part. But he ended up on the sidewalk with the four of them above him.

“He stood up and waved at someone as he tried to escape, then ran away.”
They also claim that the footage shows Kaye covered in liquid, with a mark on his back, in the now viral video.
Photos obtained by DailyMail.com show Kaye’s clothes soaked in a red liquid, which he believes to be Gatorade, and blood pooling around his ankle after he was pushed to the ground.
The NYPD has said they are also aware of the viral video, but added that no one has filed a report about it.

Other neighbors described how Kaye lives in the upscale residence with his wife and children, while also owning several properties on the street, which he rents to neighbors.
One said she was ‘shocked’ when she saw the footage this morning, adding that the father-of-three always seemed ‘normal’ even though she normally spoke to his wife.
Another neighbor described scenes of chaos on the usually quiet street last night as the victim’s friends ran back and forth shouting that Kaye had attacked a woman.
Kaye had barricaded himself in his home on Monday morning and an unknown man wearing a hoodie and sunglasses sneaked into the property.
He said he didn’t live there, but didn’t say what he did.
Kaye oversees ten verticals within Moelis’ Business Services faction and leads “a dedicated team of bankers and… an extensive network of relationships with both strategic companies and private equity investors,” according to his profile on the website from the company.
