A video has emerged showing Jonathan Kaye, a banker at Moelis, allegedly punching a woman at a Pride event. This incident may have been related to remarks made about the Israel-Gaza war. Kaye, who was in charge of the investment bank’s global business services franchise, was placed on leave shortly after the video went viral on social media.
The video showed a woman falling to the ground after being punched by a man who was identified as Kaye. In the video, the man appeared to walk away while claiming that the woman had thrown something at him. The incident at the Brooklyn Pride event resulted in the woman losing consciousness, breaking her nose, and sustaining other injuries.
According to reports, the incident may have stemmed from an argument between Kaye, who is Jewish, and someone at the event holding a Palestinian flag. Liquid was reportedly poured on Kaye by four individuals, leading to the altercation. Details in a police report elaborated on the injuries sustained by the woman who was punched during the incident.
After the video surfaced, Moelis conducted an investigation into the matter. Kaye’s profile is no longer available on the company’s website, and he has officially resigned from his position at the investment bank. Reports suggest that the incident was related to tensions surrounding
