Ric Flair Considering a Lawsuit Following Restaurant Incident – On Sunday afternoon, Ric Flair claimed he was kicked out of Piesonas in Florida after spending $1500. Flair said he was “Asked To Leave Because Of An Issue I Had With The Kitchen Manager Taking Too Long In The Bathroom.”
Piesonas co-owner Jerry Roberts told The Gainesville Sun on Monday that “evidence was clear” as to why Flair was asked to leave the restaurant. Roberts said they had no plans to release the video.
A leaked video surfaced online on Tuesday.
Speaking to The Gainsville Sun, Flair stated that he went to the bathroom and was approached by a member of the staff.
“I’m like, I don’t shake hands or take photos in bathrooms. Any man that goes into a bathroom knows you can see into the stall. I said, ‘Get your a– off there, I need to use the restroom.'”
Flair said the staff member used the stall, and he could be seen through the cracks “texting away.” After exiting the stall, Flair claims that a female employee called him a “peeping tom” and a “creep.”
“I’m not going to tolerate that and you wouldn’t either,” he said of the employee’s comments. “… That’s a pretty offensive remark. I’ll be quite honest with you, I was pissed because I didn’t do anything wrong. It’s my word against the kitchen employee and it makes no sense. I admit to everything I said. I have no problem with it because I was mad.”
In the video, Flair is asked to leave after insulting a staff member. He also offers one of the bartenders a $1000 tips.
Roberts said that the restaurant rejected the tip on Sunday and paid the employees the money out of the ownership team’s pocket.
“It was really a matter of principle on how our team was treated and no matter how much money someone’s willing to spend, if their not going to treat our team with respect, we just felt like that was the right thing to do,” said Roberts
Flair said he is considering filing a lawsuit.
“I have the money to buy the restaurant,” he said. “It’ll be called Ric Flair’s Italian Bistro.”
