The reality star claims he was held at gunpoint over the weekend and was robbed of thousands of dollars after a crook made off with his jewelry. Law enforcement told the news site that the incident went down Sunday night in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, where he was hanging with his mom and friend after coming back from the mall.

While the three of them were out front in the driveway of his friend’s home, a young man reportedly walked up and asked for the time. Sources say Jonathan sensed something was off and told everyone to go inside. As they tried to head in, the man pulled out a gun on them. Jonathan told officers that the gunman moved the group between two cars and trapped them to a corner then pointed the gun directly at Jonathan’s mother’s head, TMZ reports. Jonathan reportedly told the guy to take anything he wanted and the guy ended up taking his Richard Mille watch, worth about $250k.

A second gunman was on the scene but was reportedly on standby. Neighbors who happened to hear the commotion came out to see what was going on, which scared the guys off. The perps, who weren’t wearing any face coverings, eventually made off on foot, the news site notes. It was said that Jonathan is supposed to go to the police department and help with a sketch of the suspects.

As many are aware, Jonathan is also best friends with Kim Kardashian, who was also a victim of a robbery. As we previously reported, the reality star was robbed at gunpoint back in 2016 during Fashion Week in Paris. Since then, she has refrained from wearing expensive jewelry in public.
