Footage of the Ric Flair incident at the Gainesville restaurant surfaces online

The story between Ric Flair and Piesanos has a new chapter.

On May 5, Flair warned his followers on Twitter to stay away from Piesano’s Stone Fired Pizza restaurant in Gainesville, Florida. He claimed he was treated more disrespectfully than he had ever been in his entire life, which allegedly happened after he spent $1,500 and took photos with customers and employees. Flair said he was asked to leave because he had a problem with the kitchen manager taking too long in the bathroom.

Alan Festo of The Gainesville Sun later wrote that Piesanos co-owner Jerry Roberts said the “evidence is clear” that Flair was asked to leave the restaurant.

“We have reviewed video of the incident that recently occurred at our restaurant,” Roberts told The Gainesville Sun. “It is clear that our team worked professionally to ensure the safety of guests and employees. We thanked our team for their professionalism. We are proud of how they responded to this situation and showcased our team values.”

At the time, Roberts said there were no plans to release the video.

However, now someone has posted a video of the incident online.

A TikTok user named bussines11.11 posted a nearly three-minute video of Flair’s interactions with the restaurant’s employees. Flair is seen talking to someone behind the bar about disrespect.

As the video progresses, Flair insists that he did nothing wrong. Flair says he didn’t curse or talk to anyone. Flair also warns staff about his plans to share the incident on social media, referring to a man in a blue shirt as “Nicholas Dickhead.” He also asks a waitress to tip herself $1,000. Flair says everything was cool until the man in the blue shirt, who he then calls an idiot, came along. At the end of the video, Flair tells the man to talk to him like a man outside. Then a customer says they will accept the offer before it cancels.
