The mayor of Margate City, New Jersey is offering Kylie and Jason Kelce an apology.
Earlier this week, Kylie and Jason were out and about in Margate City and were allegedly heckled by a woman wanting a picture.
The couple was reportedly walking into Steve & Cookie’s Restaurant and Oyster Bar on May 25 when a woman asked them for a photo. According to other witnesses, Jason and Kylie politely declined and attempted to walk away when the woman got angry.
According to a bystander who captured a brief moment of the encounter on video, he said the woman “wouldn’t take no for an answer” and eventually started “screaming at Kylie.”
Imagine telling Kylie Kelce you’ll never be allowed in this town again because she won’t take a picture with you…

The video shows Kylie telling the woman that she can smell the alcohol on her breath, telling her that she’s embarrassing herself. The woman retaliates by telling Kylie and Jason that they will no longer be welcomed in their town.
Now, Margate City Mayor Michael Collins is speaking out.
“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 continued.
Neither Kylie nor Jason have spoken out about the encounter.
