Did you guys see this video of the Moelis MD smoking someone at Pride? Bring him to the Octagon! Wonder what got him so riled up
https://x.com/hellosami/status/1799778447348404315
Edit: Turns out the guy was attacked by a group of anti-semites, so fuck them--Moelis better keep this man in his position or promote him for being an absolute GOAT

Why did he risk his career to punch a black woman?
Black?
Isnt this guy a huge rain maker? What will moelis do with him
They will clone him and tell the public the clone is innocent
so what happened the 20 seconds before the clip started
It's pretty simple. He was drunk and made a grave error in response to a woman throwing her drink at him.
Throwing a drink in itself doesn't mean you need to knock out someone, but being in his position you don't know what someone is throwing at you, it could be skin-peeling acid for all we know. I'm not a lawyer so don't know if this is considered assault or not. If this was self-defence it shouldn't impact his career imo
He was throwing gravy on the ground and swimming in it to make it look someone through yogourt on his trench coat
Definitely want to see full context but punching a girl while visibly hammered (assuming that he’s stumbling for that reason, as opposed to having been jumped) is so messed up.
Think the context is fairly irrelevant given the fact he went towards her and punched her square in the face, then walked away
.
Equal rights equal fights.
Banks want equality..well this is it. Black woman are now fair game to get clocked. Just wait until a Higgins boat full of strong black women get to charge Omaha Beach first wave
None of this "messed up to hit a girl" nonsens in 2024
Might get fired from Moelis but Dana White will offer him a new job right away
lmfao he's gonna go from making $10 million a year at Moelis to making $10k per fight under daddy Dana
The thing about this guy is that beyond being a respected rainmaker, he’s a really good person and takes good care of his team and analysts at Moelis (e.g., actually enforces protected weekends). There has to be more than this video.
Not sure I’ve ever seen a video as tightly clipped as this one. They don’t even give us 1 second of action before the punch. Pretty clear the full clip won’t be as favorable to the “woman” who got clocked.
I've seen enough. Give him Jon Jones
Assuming they let him go. Where does he go from here? Will any firm take a flyer on him? Is his entire career fucked?
If he's an experienced rainmaker then a ton of small boutiques who don't gaf about PR will take him in for his relationships.
Look at Sage Kelly
What a stud - this story paints him as one of the legendary bankers of old.
Type in moelis on twitter he's getting cooked by liberals
LinkedIn too
They got linkedin influencers replying to moelis deal announcements it's over.
Look at the back of the guy, it looks like someone poured something on him.
We need to see what happened 1 minute before.
Nevertheless, I'm all for punching the s**t out of anyone that attempts to touch you.
Sometimes, violence is the answer lol
These people at pride winge about equal rights then complain when they finally get one lol. That fall was so exaggerated and fake you could've fooled me into thinking this was a soccer match, then she curls up into fetal position to whimper like a slapped child. Jonathan is an awesome person, I know 2 people who worked for him as analysts that have near exclusively positive things to say (which is a LOT for a Moelis senior banker), which I'll admit biases me and causes me to give him immediate benefit of the doubt. I would still bet $1,000 without a second thought that this clip is missing context, cropping out the entire build up to just be framed as "bad rich white man hurts innocent black woman at pride for no reason 😲". Calling bullshit. You seriously think the guy with the camera just happened to turn it on RIGHT BEFORE he tees off? Not a doubt in my mind she probably instigated it - if she randomly just threw a drink on him (not at all unbelievable for NYC) that's assault and a face slap is getting off easy.
Also, what's going on with the people on the ground in the background? Just too much weirdness here to come away from it with him being the only person at fault.
You're right people are saying they were Palestinian protestors and were shouting anti semitic slurs as well as throwing drinks/liquid at him
LMAO mods removed a comment saying anti-semitic terrorist sympathizers don't deserve sympathy. Aight then.
Yeah that's wrong.
If someone throws a drink at you then that sucks but whatever. You just need a change of clothes.
If you're a man throwing a right hook at a woman you can easily knock her out. That can easily cause a concussion or worse (her head could slam on the concrete or something).
Giving someone brain damage because they made you a little wet isn't cool.
It's not a proportionate response in force and it's pretty clearly a massive judgement error by him.
Silly of you to hear "a drink was thrown at him" and assume that that's the only thing that happened.
I don't know what happened. But it's easy to imagine he was surrounded by several young, angry, aggressive assholes. At some point that becomes a threat. You don't need to wait to be punched first. That's not what self defense means.
Honestly, it's just not worth being on the street in NYC for longer than it takes to get from the front door of a building to the door of an uber.
Everyone looking for a viral video and headline.
Regardless of context, gotta be better than the unwashed masses.
Just buy some fucking rainbow cap from Amazon and wear that whenever you walk around. That should keep the crazies off your back.
This guy is literally THE MD at Moelis you should pray to god you work for over all the others. He's a wonderful man who treats his analysts better than most banks on the street, by far the best of all the ones at Moelis based on anecdotes I've heard.
Don’t know about analyst treatment specifically but can confirm good reputation generally on the character front.
That really blew up in your face, huh?
Lmao, I don’t think I made the satire obvious enough.
bottom bucket comment
Tufts moment
This guy probably had the worst Sunday scaries of all time
