New Jersey Mayor Apologizes to Kylie and Jason Kelce After Crazy Fan Harassed and Threatened Them
The mayor of a New Jersey town has apologized to Jason and Kylie Kelce after an incident involving a drunk fan that escalated into a confrontation.
Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce has been in a troublesome situation lately. The retired NFL player could be seen spending quality time with his family. Kelce, along with his wife, visited the Jersey Shore.
Even though they were enjoying their vacation, an interaction with a fan took a negative turn. While in Margate City, the couple encountered a fan who requested a photo with them. When the Kelces declined, the fans reacted poorly.

The pair claimed they would not be welcomed back to Margate City. The incident quickly gained attention from the media and fans, which prompted Margate City's mayor, Michael Collins, to address the situation.
The city’s mayor issued a public apology to the Kelces. He acknowledges the importance of privacy and family time. “On behalf of the City of Margate, I'd like to formally apologize to Jason & Kylie Kelce for the experience they had in Margate City over the holiday weekend,” Collins wrote, according to TMZ.
He also added, “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.”
Whether the Kelces will accept the mayor's offer remains uncertain. Despite the altercation, Jason Kelce expressed his enjoyment of the Jersey Shore trip. He praised the restaurants they visited on an episode of his New Heights podcast. He specifically mentioned his delight with the chocolate chip pancakes at one venue.

They likely did not take the fan's outburst personally. Whether it is Travis Kelce or Jason Kelce, they continue enjoying their time even after harassing interactions with fans.
Kelce, who had a remarkable 13-year career with the Eagles, is regarded as one of the greatest centers in the team's history. The fan incident took place at Steve & Cookie’s Restaurant and Oyster Bar in Margate City around 5 p.m. on a Saturday.
The situation escalated when the Kelces politely declined the fan's photo request. He declined the fan as they entered the popular eatery. Video footage of the brief confrontation was captured and circulated on social media by the Word to the Wise podcast.
The footage shows Kylie Kelce standing her ground against the yelling fan before being led away, reportedly by her father. Although parts of the confrontation were unclear in the video, the fan can be heard shouting. This includes her not caring nature toward Kelces’s identity. They didn't stop there, as the fans were insisting they would never be allowed "in this town."
