Jack Doherty gets robbed, loses $300k worth of items

The former Kick streamer, Jack, was recently robbed outside the Cheesecake Factory on N Beverly Drive and Brighton Way. He said in the video he posted on his social media that the incident occurred while he was there.

As per Dexerto, Jack said that he was hanging around Rodeo when four men with guns came out of a vehicle and attacked him. They then knocked him down. He told the police that one of the thieves was chasing him on the street, trying to take his watch.

Jack live-streamed these statements on his Parti account. He also said:

''I didn’t know which way to go, because if I went too far away, he was just gonna get me alone and I have a broken collar bone, so I can’t even fight this guy.''

He posted videos of himself talking to cops and his bodyguard on his social media. Explaining the incident to his friend, who was taking the video, he said:

“He had a gun to me and I was like, ‘Nah, f**k you, I’m taking this watch, motherf**ker, I’ll die for this sh*t. $300K down the f**king drain, this is worse than the McLaren crash.''

The McLaren crash he mentioned is the incident that happened in October 2024. Jack was driving and live-streaming on Kick in Miami during a rainy day, and as he was distracted, he got into an accident that crushed his $200,000 McLaren 570S. His cameraman also suffered facial injuries.

Following this incident, Jack was banned from Kick as he violated their safety guidelines.

Despite the robbery and the loss of a whopping $300K, Jack promised that he would still come back and purchase expensive watches. He purchased eight watches and showed them on his Instagram, captioning the post:

''And I hit Rodeo just to get stylish, ran thru 300”😢😂 #jackdoherty.''

In one of the videos Jack posted of the robbery incident, he is seen shirtless, as he gave the shirt to the police as evidence. Jack often posts pictures of his lavish lifestyle, including his car and watch collection, on his social media handles. He has not uploaded any other videos or made further statements regarding the robbery.
