The TV star, also known as “Foodgod,” is scared to be pulled out of the crowd at concerts after Kim was thrown off stage by late pop star, Prince.

Jonathan was partying at Coachella during weekend one and exclusively told The U.S. Sun he rarely joins artists during performances after Kim’s hilarious encounter.
In 2011, the SKIMS founder was invited up on stage by the Raspberry Beret singer during the final night of his Madison Square Garden residency, but he booted her off after she failed to dance with him.
Kim, who has made no secret of not being a fan of dancing, previously spoke about the cringe-worthy moment and how she kept the dress seen in the now-viral YouTube clip.
At the time, Prince quipped, “Get off my stage! Welcome to America,” before Kim awkwardly walked back to her seat.
Jonathan remembered the night while chatting to The U.S. Sun at Kourtney Kardashian Barker’s Camp Poosh event at Coachella.
He was pulled up on stage with Jermaine Dupri and Shaggy at a Malibu Rum event last year and admitted it made him nervous after Kim’s experience.
“He [Jermaine] pulled me up on stage in front of everybody,” Jonathan recalled. “You know after Prince kicked Kim off stage, when I get pulled up I just dance, I don’t want to get thrown off. Because I was with her when that happened and I still haven’t recovered.”
Asked if Kim still speaks about the day, he laughed, “No, and I don’t either. I still have nightmares about it and I don’t like to bring it up.”

He joked it is “100 percent” her most embarrassing moment.
“When she came off the stage I was like, ‘Don’t even talk to me’. It was funny. I don’t do stages after that, that was it, but Jermaine has a vibe. When he pulls you up, you have to.”
The Hulu star previously posted about the moment on social media after the singer’s death, writing, “I will always remember this moment with one of my favorite artists!”
“I was so star struck I froze! RIP Prince,” the 43-year-old added at the time.
As for Jonathan, this year he preferred to hang out in the VIP section at Camp Poosh and enjoy some of the festival before attending Neon Carnival – instead of party-hopping around Palm Springs.
The summer camp experience featured a set from DJ Pee Wee (Anderson .Paak), camp activities, pre-festival glam, and even a tattoo tent.
Jonathan was joined by Chef K, the Kardashians’ private chef, who hosted an exclusive Italian meal with Rao’s Homemade for influencer attendees at Camp Poosh.

“I’ve done Coachella four times, which is not a lot as people have been coming for like 100,” Jonathan said.
“Everyone is spread out, I don’t know where anybody is, it’s impossible,” he said. “There are so many events, so many places. I’m like oh my God, this, this, this.”
Asked if he joined revelers drinking at Coachella, he insisted, “No, I don’t really drink, that’s why Kim and I were friends to begin with.”
Jonathan is one of Kim’s oldest friends and has been by her side through thick and thin.
Although the mom-of-four skipped Coachella this year with the rest of her family, she reunited with Jonathan at a dinner days later as they were joined by Dance Moms alum, Abby Lee Miller.
She uploaded clips of the meeting on her Instagram Stories, saying she “loves” both of them.
