A former star of a popular New York-based reality television series has been permanently barred from a Manhattan restaurant after a contentious disagreement over a dinner bill.
The incident occurred last weekend when the celebrity, accompanied by five guests, dined at the establishment. Sources indicate the party arrived with a reservation for only three people but was accommodated. The dispute arose when a bill, reported to be approximately $1,000, was presented. The patron allegedly refused to pay, claiming her celebrity status entitled her to complimentary service in exchange for social media promotion.
Witnesses described a dramatic scene, with the individual reportedly becoming loud and confrontational with staff, declaring that people typically pay for her presence. After initially refusing, she settled the bill two days later. However, the restaurant’s owner has stated she is no longer welcome, citing the disrespect shown to employees and the financial burden of providing uncompensated service.
In a statement addressing the event, the former reality star attributed the conflict to a “clear miscommunication,” maintaining she believed the meal was part of a promotional agreement.
This is not the first public controversy for the personality. She faced significant criticism several years ago for inappropriate comments made about a transgender model during a fashion event, for which she later apologized.
