Vendôme Co-Owner Appeared Alongside Influencers Partying to ‘Heil Hitler’

Over the weekend, videos began circulating online showing a group of right-wing influencers partying to rapper Kanye West’s song “Heil Hitler” at a Miami Beach nightclub. In the clips, “manosphere” figures Andrew Tate and Myron Gaines, as well as well-known white nationalist streamer Nick Fuentes, are seen singing along to the song — which glorifies Adolf Hitler — inside the nightclub Vendôme. Clips showed the group partying inside a section of the club while throwing up the Nazi salute and shouting the lyrics: “Nigga, Heil Hitler!”

The videos quickly drew widespread backlash, with hundreds of commenters flooding Vendôme’s Instagram page and some calling for a boycott. In response, the club issued a statement condemning antisemitism and hate speech, calling the incident “deeply offensive and unacceptable” and saying it was investigating how it occurred.

However, the same viral clips appear to show Vendôme owner Jonathan Mansour standing alongside the influencers during their time at the club.

In one video, a bald, bearded man who appears to be Mansour is visible directly beneath the group as they raise their arms in Nazi salutes and sing along to the song. He appears to be chatting with a woman and whispering in her ear just feet away from the young men as they repeatedly shout the lyrics: “Heil Hitler!”

Neither Mansour nor the club responded to New Times‘ request for comment via email or Instagram DM. The club did share on its Instagram a second statement on Monday, January 19 around 4 p.m. mentioning that: “Vendôme has completed its internal review of the unfortunate circumstances and events that occurred in our premises and has taken decisive action. This isolated incident involved three people which have been terminated from their employment and are no longer affiliated with Vendôme.”

Mansour is one of the owners and co-founders of Vendôme, which opened in 2021 in the space that formerly housed the nightclub Rockwell. Vendôme is located in the heart of South Beach and describes itself as “the crown jewel of Miami’s nightlife.” 

In its statement, Vendôme wrote that its “ownership and leadership reflect a diverse group of partners, backgrounds, and faiths including members of the Jewish community and we are deeply disturbed by the harm caused by this incident and the circulation of this footage.”

“We want to be unequivocally clear: Vendôme and our hospitality group do not condone antisemitism, hate speech, or prejudice of any kind,” the statement reads. “These values are fundamentally opposed to who we are and the environments we strive to create.”

This is a breaking story and will be updated as events warrant.
