Ramsay Blasts 'Kitchen Nightmares' Lawsuit

Ramsay Blasts 'Kitchen Nightmares' Lawsuit

By James Hibberd
“Hell’s Kitchen” star Gordon Ramsay broke his silence on a lawsuit accusing the perfectionist chef of faking scenes in a New York eatery for his upcoming Fox reality show.

Caution for some language.

I wonder how many lawsuits have stemmed from the reality TV craze?

This show, and Hell's Kitchen, I cannot watch...the mean spirited, rudeness, and constant yelling are very upsetting.

I was brought up to listen, be understanding and kind. We had a successful company for over 20 years and know how to treat employees.

So regardless if the allegations are correct or not, his rudeness is unacceptable and I don't, and won't, watch any show he is associated with.

Kindness and gentle words work much better than profanity.

I agree. I don't like it either.

I used to say the same thing about Hell's Kitchen. But as I watched he grew on me.

I enjoy Kitchen Nightmares but only the British version; the US version does seem a bit too highly edited for me. Hell's Kitchen might not be all fake but it certainly is set up. No legitimate cooking realityshow/challenge would pick the clueless people that appeared on that show last night. I was shocked that any of them had restaurant experience at all.

I still admire a man with that much passion, but where do they find these people ? Some of them seem to beg to get yelled at, give me a break and executive chef who just stands around ?? a stay at home Dad with no recent restaurant experience? then they guy who goes out back to smoke? I am hoping it gets better because most of these people I wouldn't hire to begin with if they brought dishes to me like their signature dish, raw venison ? It is almost like Fox brought these people in and Gordon never seen or looked at the contestants because that what they are, lets see how far we can push him. New show I bet I can make him cuss more that you ! It ain't the cussing that bothers me as is just how stupid can they be ? or how vane are they to think that I am already great, just give me your restaurant

I've never seen a mouse dropping at my work.
