“The Nature Boy” is at it again.
WWE Hall of Fame legend Ric Flair made headlines Monday after he was asked to leave Piethanos Stone Fired Pizza restaurant in Gainesville, Florida. After taking issue with “the kitchen manager spending too much time in the bathroom.”
Flair wrote to X about the incident:
“I spent $1500 at @piesanosstonefiredpizza and was more disrespected than ever in my life. After taking 20 photos with customers and staff, the kitchen manager told me I was staying in the bathroom too long. We had a problem and were asked to leave. I highly recommend anyone in Gainesville who wants to enjoy a relaxing time at a nice restaurant to never visit this place!
Jerry Roberts, co-owner of the Piethanos facility, told the Gainesville Sun about the incident:
“We have reviewed the video of a recent incident at our restaurant. It is clear that our team worked in a professional manner to ensure the safety of our guests and staff. We would like to thank our team for their professionalism. I'm grateful to Rhythm and I'm proud of how they responded to this situation by utilizing and demonstrating our team's values.”
On Sunday, Flair posted a photo of herself at a restaurant with the caption, “Graduation in Gainesville!” A growing family! Congratulations Paris and Summer! Woooooo!
I spent $1500 on @PiesanosSFP To be despised more than ever before in my life. After taking 20 photos with customers and staff, we were asked to leave due to an issue with the kitchen manager staying in the toilet too long. Highly recommend it…
