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.

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.
