Flair plans to sue or buy the restaurant that kicked him out

The saga of Ric Flair and Piesanos continues…

A day after footage leaked online showing an apparently intoxicated Flair being asked to leave the Florida restaurant over the weekend, the WWE Hall of Famer and Piesanos’ owner once again spoke out about the incidents which he complained about for the first time on social networks.

Flair told the Gainesville Sunshine more of his version of the story, which involves a chef approaching him in the bathroom, then lingering in a stall “texting” after the Nature Boy asks for privacy:

“I say I don’t shake hands or take pictures in the restroom. Any man who enters the toilet knows that you can see into the stall. I said, ‘Go away, I have to go to the bathroom.’

A female employee then allegedly approached Flair after he came out of the restroom and called him a “voyeur” and a “voyeur.” Regarding this, he told the newspaper:

“I’m not going to tolerate this and neither are you… That’s a pretty offensive remark.”

All of this happened before Flair approached Piesanos’ manager, which is the exchange captured in the video posted anonymously yesterday. Of the images, Naitch said:

“I’ll be very honest with you, I was upset because I didn’t do anything wrong. It’s my word against the kitchen worker and it makes no sense. I confess everything I said. I have no problem with that because I was angry.

Jerry Roberts, co-owner of Piesanos, was unmoved by the amount of money Flair spent at the restaurant or his generous tipping:

“It really was 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 felt that was the good thing to do.

“The video that was leaked by someone else speaks for itself.”

For his part, Flair says he plans to take legal action against Piesanos. Or…

“I have the money to buy the restaurant. It will be called Ric Flair’s Italian Bistro.
