Ric Flair Considers Lawsuit After ‘Peeping Tom’ Restaurant Incident

Ric Flair is considering filing a lawsuit after being asked to leave a restaurant.

Flair, who was a guest at Piesano’s Stone Fired Pizza restaurant, was recently asked to leave. Flair stated that he was kicked out of the restaurant after being upset about how long the kitchen manager spent in the bathroom.

“I spent $1500 at @PiesanosSFP Being disrespected more than I have ever been in my entire life. After taking 20 photos with customers and employees, I was asked to leave because I had an issue with the kitchen manager staying in the bathroom too long. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to enjoy a relaxing time in Gainesville at a nice restaurant to never visit this place! WOOOOO!“ Flair continued tweeting X.

Piesanos stated after the incident that “the evidence is clear” as to why Flair was kicked out. Footage of the incident has since been leaked online, and Flair can be seen addressing employees and complaining about how he was treated by the restaurant’s manager, who he called “Nicholas D*ckhead.” Flair also offered to pay a waitress $1,000 if she would tell the manager to kiss my ass.

Flair was told he was asked to leave the restaurant because he insulted the chef, which he denied in the video. Flair later admitted to the Gainesville Sun that he had actually insulted the person. The video ended with another patron offering to fight Flair outside.

Flair told the Gainesville Sun that the problems began when he went to the bathroom and was approached by a restaurant employee. Flair told them he doesn’t shake hands or take photos in restrooms, so the employee went into the bathroom stall.

After a few minutes, Flair told the Gainesville Sun that he could see the employee “texting” through the cracks in the cubicle.

“Every man who goes to the toilet knows that you can see into the stall. I said, ‘Move over there, I have to go to the bathroom’.” Added flair.

After she finished using the bathroom, an employee allegedly called Flair a “spy” and a “crook.” This led to a confrontation with the Piesanos manager, as Flair said he wouldn’t tolerate a “pretty insulting remark.”

“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,” Flair told the Gainesville Sun.

Flair has since said he is considering filing a lawsuit over the incident, claiming he had the money to buy the restaurant and rename it “Ric Flair’s Italian Bistro.”

Flair still left two bartenders at Piesanos a $1,000 tip, but the restaurant’s co-owner Jerry Roberts declined the tip and paid the employees the money out of the ownership team’s pocket.

Roberts said: “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 that was the right thing to do.”
