Ric Flair says he is considering legal action over the restaurant incident

As previously reported, Ric Flair recently claimed he was kicked out of a restaurant in Florida after spending $1,500 on a meal. However, Piesonas, the restaurant in question, claimed Flair was kicked out due to his behavior. Footage later leaked showed Flair being rude to the staff. Flair gave the reason that he had an incident with the kitchen manager who was in the toilet for a long time. In an interview with the Gainesville Sun, Flair went into more detail about his issue with the manager and said he was considering legal action against the restaurant.

He said as he went to the toilet he was approached by a staff member. The employee was using the stand and could be seen in the cracks “sending a text message.”

He said: “I don’t think I shake hands or take photos in the bathroom. Every man who goes into the bathroom knows that you can see into the toilet. I said, “Get your dick out of there, I have to go to the bathroom.””

After he left the booth, Flair claimed a female employee called him a “creep” and a “peeper.”

He added: ““I won’t tolerate that and neither will you,” he said of the employee’s comments. “…That’s a pretty insulting comment. I’ll be honest, I was angry because I didn’t do anything wrong. It’s my word against the kitchen staff and it doesn’t make any sense. I admit everything I said. I don’t have a problem with it because I was angry. I have the money to buy the restaurant. It will be called Ric Flair’s Italian Bistro.”

In the video, Flair is asked to leave after he insults the staff and tries to give a bartender a $1,000 tip. Piesonas owner Jerry Roberts claimed that they refused Flair’s tips and instead the ownership team paid the employees out of their own pocket.

Roberts added: “It was really a matter of principle about how our team was treated, and no matter how much money someone was willing to spend if they didn’t treat our team with respect, we just felt like it was the right thing to do.“
