âRHONYâ alum Leah McSweeney plans to leave NYC due to crime issues: âPeople are smoking crack for breakfastâ

Longtime Manhattan socialite Leah McSweeney is ready to pack her bags and leave the Big Apple.
“People are smoking crack for breakfast in Times Square,” the “Real Housewives of New York City” alum said in a video posted on her Instagram Story Tuesday. “Public service announcement.”
As McSweeney continued to walk down the streets of New York City, she further claimed her 16-year-old daughter, Kier, was recently threatened by someone on the subway.
She alleged the individual told her teen they were going to “turn her into a pile of meat on the floor.”
“And I’ll be leaving New York as soon as possible,” McSweeney, 41, concluded.
The former Bravo star also appeared on “Fox and Friends” to further explain her newfound discontent with the concrete jungle.
“This breaks my heart because New York City is the best city in the world, but it is not safe right now and it is especially not safe for women,” McSweeney said.
She then provided more insight into the altercation her daughter experienced, claiming an unknown man allegedly also told Kier, “Shut the blank up or I am going to kill you.”
McSweeney added that she feels the public is being “gaslit” by politicians who claim NYC is “safer than ever.”
“It’s not, I’m sorry, there’s no way,” the reality star said. “I’m out there on the train, I’m walking around. It’s not safe.”
McSweeney’s remarks come after “RHONY” alum Bethenny Frankel said she decided not to move back to Manhattan after she was punched in the face by a homeless man.
The Skinnygirl founder, 53, said via TikTok last week, “At that point, I texted the broker and said, ‘I don’t want to see apartments anymore. This city is insane.’”
The New York Post exclusively reported Wednesday that serious crime levels in NYC spiked last year, citing internal NYPD data.
Meanwhile, Mayor Eric Adams has repeatedly claimed the city’s rampant unlawfulness is just a “perception problem.”
