Ric Flair Ejected from Florida Restaurant Over Incident with Kitchen Manager, Footage of Incident Released

The Gainesville Sun reported that WWE Hall of Famer and wrestling legend Ric Flair was recently involved in an incident at a Florida restaurant called Piesanos Stone Fired Pizza resulting in his removal from the restaurant.

It was reported that Flair had visited the restaurant for a meal while in town for a college graduation ceremony.

It was also reported that when reached for comments, the restaurant’s co-owner Jerry Roberts told them that video evidence of this incident will reveal as to why Flair was asked to leave the resturant. Roberts stated “We have reviewed video of the incident that took place recently at our restaurant. It is clear, our team worked in a professional manner to ensure the safety of guests and staff. We have thanked our team for their professionalism. We are proud of how they responded to this situation using and displaying our team values.” Roberts also informed them that the restaurant would not make the video available at the time of their report.

Flair recently responded on Twitter about the situation stating “I Spent $1500 At Piesano’s Stone Fired Pizza To Be Disrespected More Than I Ever Have In My Entire Life. After Taking 20 Pictures With Customers And Staff, I Was Asked To Leave Because Of An Issue I Had With The Kitchen Manager Taking Too Long In The Bathroom. I Would Highly Recommend That Anyone Who Wants To Enjoy A Relaxing Time In Gainesville At A Nice Restaurant To Never Visit This Place! WOOOOO!”
