i'm not too sure what to do my arms right now because this is where i usually start throwing
things oh that's terrifying gordon ramsay can be a very scary taskmaster to young chefs and
restaurant owners who cross his path but there are some ghosts from his past that won't leave
him alone here are 10 huge scandals that will always haunt gordon ramsay unreality television
this is embarrassing because this should have been a family close-knit tight run restaurant the
manager of dylan's martin hyde was fired during an episode of kitchen nightmares for infractions
such as having rat droppings on the floor and rotten hamburger meat in the fridge which sounds
pretty justifiable where's the passion gone but hyde did not want to accept this humiliation
and launched a lawsuit against the show he claimed many aspects of the so-called reality show were
in fact not reality at all he said the problems discovered and solved by ramsey are for the most
part staged by ramsay and the staff to make a good show like the rotten meat allegedly
planted in his refrigerator all to make it look like he's improving the restaurant ramsay denied
these allegations by saying i would never even dream of setting anything up i want to sleep at
night now get out of my dream it's my dream not anymore it's not hyde has seen his reputation go
down the drain and has basically been blacklisted from the restaurant business as he was portrayed
as a bumbling buffoon of a manager always on his cell phone and not willing to lend a hand when in
need hard to see how they could have staged that but hey it could be possible boys will be boys
ramsay did you or did you not bang your willy on his foot yes gordon ramsay has long cultivated a
reputation as a bad boy in the culinary world but what most people might not know is that he
got this bad rep even before he was on your tv screens it all goes back to a very embarrassing
incident that happened in 1993. gordon and two of his chef mates were arrested by the
police in a subway station bathroom after they were found in quote various states of undress
the young men were reportedly intoxicated after an evening of revelry at the local pub
and were supposedly just horsing around at least this is how gordon's publicist described the very
unfortunate incident i told you i needed to pee oh i said so don't you wake somebody up
but apparently gordon wasn't the worst of the bunch and was reported to only have had his
head slumped on his lap at the urinal and it was the other two who were responsible for the
disturbance well whether he was the mastermind behind this or a mere participant he was still
there and he still got caught that's a bit too big though i mean that's a little bit over exciting
the men were charged with gross indecency and the whole thing was dismissed as a classic
case of a boy's lark a little something something on the side
gordon ramsay has been happily married to tana gordon for many years but what would be a good
love story without some drama involved back in 2008 ramsay was allegedly reported to have had
an affair with self-proclaimed professional mistress sarah simmons for over seven years
sarah did interviews talked to newspapers did everything to get her story out there claiming
she was in possession of compromising voicemails and even a sex tape of her and the famous chef i
never screamed like that in real life you know i was already in the bedroom ramsay
denied everything on multiple occasions saying he would never cheat on his wife because if he
did she would well you know make sure he could never do it again if you catch the drift the
case remains a bit on ice as no definite proof has ever been presented so it's really a he said
she said type of deal you don't need pizza with a knife and a fork you just pick it up and stick it
in of course you have to take it only when and if some evidence actually emerges would we know
the extent of the scandal and its potential to truly haunt the celebrity chef insulting aussies
you picked the wrong guy to tangle with him i don't think so in 2009 australian television
news presenter tracy grimshaw had no doubt about the famous chef's petulant personality
after ramsay posted a picture of a naked woman with a pig head saying that's tracy grimshaw i
had an interview with her yesterday holy crap she needs to see simon cowell's botox doctor oh and he
also claimed she was a lesbian and did intend that to be an insult and i'm not going to sit meekly
and let some arrogant narcissist bully me after this insulting and degrading tweet tracy grimshaw
did not shy away from the humiliation and voiced her discontent with ramsay's actions during her
reporting this celebrity dust-up even caught the attention of australian prime minister kevin rudd
who supported tracy in her calling out of the chef ramsay's spokesperson eventually issued an apology
saying ramsay was only trying to make a joke and realized his comments were inappropriate and
offensive and the story ends there i mean that don't look at me like that
the scandal just eventually faded away and the press simply moved on but the world
still remembers that time gordon was quite cruel and acted as a world-class
meanie a very unlucky cat you ready yeah the reveal please let's let's close up on the
on the reveal in 2019 gordon opened an asian restaurant in london called lucky cat and it was
described as an authentic eating house inspired by tokyo in the 1930s sounds pretty cool right
but apparently it may not be as authentic as you might think according to ramsay the invited
guests for the opening seemed pleased with the food but he did acknowledge there was at least
one dissenting voice angela hui a food critic tried to accuse ramsay of cultural appropriation
after her supposed bad experience at lucky cat she even called it ramsay's a real kitchen nightmare
hui said she felt the food wasn't to be taken seriously
since it wasn't focusing on any particular country
it wasn't fully japanese or foley chinese and she thought it was just a disrespectful
messy mix of cuisines she posted a very bitter review on her social media platforms and she even
went as far as to insult the head chef's wife and calling her a token asian wife smelly cats
he replied to these allegations by saying huey was biased against him and his restaurant because
a critic should be professional and have some integrity and not be on a media platform just to
be derogatory and offensive chef heal thyself it was a little bit like hospital food yes if you've
watched gordon ramsay's shows such as kitchen nightmares and hell's kitchen then you know
just how often the chef has had issues with cooks in the past well let me be frank she's a rubbish
baker especially those who try to cut corners by using frozen or cooked food instead of making
dishes using fresh ingredients it turns out a couple of ramsay's gastropubs in the uk have been
accused of taking these exact same shortcuts one specific allegation made by the sun tabloid said
that a ramsay-owned company called gr logistics was providing bagged and pre-prepared foods to his
restaurants critics framed the scandal as a matter of trust but ramsay's spokesperson tried to defend
the practice by saying that while they did prepare some elements of the meals beforehand they were
still produced to the highest ramsey standards i'm talking about the gourds fish sticks have you
tried those the food is sealed and transported in refrigerated vans and all cooked in the individual
kitchens and this is solely done to ensure the consistency and quality of the food being served
however some people didn't buy it they compare it to a classic case of do as i say not as i do to be
or not to be scottish right here chopped heart and lungs boiled in a wee sheep's stomach gordon
ramsay was born in johnstone scotland but spent the majority of his life in england
as he and his parents moved to stratford-upon-avon when he was only five years old he mostly sees
himself as english since well he was raised there but scotland refuses to lose him as a
national treasure according to some very angry and territorial scottish folk gordon apparently
has shunned his scottish heritage and now tries to pass as english it makes me feel homesick
well an episode of kitchen nightmares from 2011 was enough to send the scottish people into a
frenzy gordon is seen comparing himself with an england-born chef saying that they share a lot
in common primarily because they are both english what it's easy to see why that statement struck a
chord it even drew the wrath of a scottish politician who demanded ramsay apologize
to the good people of scotland because he should always remember where he came from
even if some of his american tv audience doesn't know the difference between scottish
english and chinese bad neighbor how's it going are you our new neighbors we're your new neighbors
a home is a man's castle and gordon ramsay built himself a sprawling estate in cornwall england fit
for a king or a really wealthy reality television star at least but is this king's castle more like
a postmodern mansion shaped like boxes apparently his unhappy neighbors thought ramsay's house
looked like a stack of containers and said he made no effort whatsoever to meet with neighbors about
their concerns one of them even said it showed a lack of consideration for local residents
wow sounds like a great deal so i'm getting exactly what i want then appear so and that wasn't
the only issue with his mansion building his new home meant demolishing the original house that was
built in the 1920s a very vintage and charming house that added elegance to the neighborhood
they also had to cut down century-old trees to make room for his driveway i'd like you to chop
this tree down with a single swing so not only did the locals lose some neighborhood appeal but
they were also treated to boxy containers in its place it drastically impacted the development and
the value of the neighborhood because well you can't see the nice houses from the road anymore
all you see is his big boxed mansion but hey wouldn't that drive more people to invest in the
area though being gordon ramsay's neighbor must have its perks another f-bomb scandal plunker
anyone who has watched gordon ramsay on television for more than two minutes knows that he has a
habit of using foul language some say it's part of what gives him his charm when his shows air in the
united states broadcasting rules mandate that the swear words are bleeped out but in australia his
expletive rich speech is aired in all its inglorious splendor according to some australian
legislators who actually bothered to count in 2008 gordon dropped a whopping adf bombs in a single
episode of kitchen nightmares you're pulling my plonker now aren't you this seems like an
awful lot even for the chef's colorful vocabulary many australians complained about the overuse of
profanity so much so that an australian senator even launched an inquiry into the broadcasting
standards asking for tighter regulations interesting how over there they wanted less
swear words and over here in the u.s most people complain when they bleep it out gordon responded
to these controversies by saying if people didn't want to hear him swear they just had to change the
channel he says he doesn't do it on purpose it's just the muppets he has to work with sometimes
so we just want to make sure you know exactly what you can and cannot say on television he
went on to say it's high pressure high energy and most importantly real that's how we keep it
every day in the end the scandal was probably good for ratings because of the added publicity
it generated charted territory that's disgusting thank god i've got some wine to wash it down
there television programming has always been derivative there's always been a need
for a lot of content and that need has only grown especially in recent years with the proliferation
of streaming services another one ramsay has been accused of ripping off the late anthony bourdain's
very popular shows the announcement of ramsey's national geographic channel series was only a
few months after bourdain's tragic passing which right from the start made fans of the show upset
but what made them even more upset was the blatant resemblance between anthony bourdain's former show
and gordon ramsay's new one uncharted has a near identical premise as parts unknown a show
in which bourdain would travel around the world to taste the local cuisine in exotic locations
a lot of people immediately took offense and started slamming ramsay on social media calling
him a rip-off even celebrity chef eddie huang took part in this roast and tweeted the last thing the
world needs right now is gordon ramsay going to foreign countries showing locals how he can cook
their cuisines better than they can gordon only had one thing to say just give the show a try
people were judging it before it even aired so how could they have enough information
to pass a judgment he said there was an entire team behind the show's production
that worked really hard and they didn't deserve all the negative feedback they were receiving
