‘We know about your mom’: NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani heckled amid Epstein-related backlash

Protesters confronted NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani after Epstein-related records referenced his mother

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani faced protests outside his official residence after fresh controversy emerged linking his family to recently released documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein.

Videos shared online showed demonstrators gathering near the mayor’s home, shouting slogans and confronting Mamdani with chants including “we know about your mom.” The remarks referred to the appearance of his mother’s name in Epstein-related records that have circulated publicly in recent days.

The documents mention Mamdani’s mother, a well-known filmmaker, in connection with a social event referenced in the records. No allegations of criminal wrongdoing have been made against her, and the material does not suggest any illegal activity. Still, the association has drawn political backlash and fueled criticism from some quarters.

Mamdani, who became mayor following last year’s election, has not been accused of any involvement related to the Epstein case. However, the protests reflect growing political pressure as he navigates controversy tied to his family rather than his own actions.

The incident highlights how renewed attention on Epstein-related documents continues to reverberate across public life, drawing in figures far removed from the original investigation and complicating the political landscape for elected officials.
