The weekend can’t come soon enough for Greg Kelly.

On Friday, the Newsmax host took to his Instagram account to post a photo of himself on a New York street corner covered in wet paint from a utility pole that he said he had leaned on. In the photo, his left sleeve is covered in paint as a “WET PAINT” sign lies on the sidewalk.

“Giant WET PAINT BLOB right on my BEAUTIFUL JACKET!!!” he raged in the post. “Some FOOL painted a ‘light pole’ basically 5 MINUTES ago on a Weekday Morning and put the ‘Wet Paint’ Sign on The GROUND????”

Kelly went on to explain he was wearing a $12,000 Brioni jacket and a Nautilus watch, whose value did not disclose because that would be “kinda obnoxious.”

“I was just chillin’ leaning on the pole waiting for the light to Change and when it turned Green I COULDN’T MOVE because the Paint was so Sticky, then I saw I had an Even BIGGER PROBLEM with a Paint BLOB on my Custom Made BRIONI Jacket with Hermes ‘lining’ with Solid Gold Button and it’s worth 12,000 Dollars!!!!” he stated. And there’s also a ‘Splotch’ on my PATEK PHILIPPE Nautilus Watch (I’m not even gonna say how much THAT costs-kinda obnoxious) CALL THE COPS!!!!!!! REFUND!!!!!!!!!! PUNITIVE DAMAGES!!!!!”
