A former employee is suing Gordon Ramsay for retaliation, $2M which she claims Gordon owes her and making her feel uncomfortable by stroking her hair and making sexual remarks. The woman is Sara Stewart and she has been having an affair for the past five years with Gordon Ramsay's father-in-law. She was was also the head of digital media at Gordon Ramsay's empire. Apparently Gordon was ticked off that she was sleeping with his father-in-law and not with him and had her followed one night back to her place where Gordon had an investigator take pictures and make a movie of her being intimate with Gordon's father-in-law. He then threatened her with releasing the photos to the world and sent them to co-workers at the company. When she complained, he fired her. Gordon Ramsay is a nasty nasty man who makes good television but has shown he is not a good businessman, and has been caught cheating on his wife. I have no doubts he probably did borrow $2M from this woman and has not paid her back and I have no doubts he wanted to have sex with her.
the only reason Gordon Ramsay is Gordon Ramsay is becuase he father in law gave him the money to open his first place. God bless his wife, she will put up with anything. Now she doesn't even speak to her own parents becuase she chose Gordon over them.
ReplyDeleteHonestly the Hells Kitchen act is getting old he doesn't even get mad anymore its the same old schtick everytime. You Cow! You Sod! go back to England.
The only reason she was followed was because his father in law was embezzling money from the company. He happened to be having an affair with Ms. Stewart while married to Tania's mother. The investigator hired to look into the money obviously looked into his whole life so the mistress got caught up with it. Gordan Ramsey is not a nice man, but then again she's not a nice woman.
ReplyDeleteso if this father in law embezzeled has he been arrested? Embezzling is a crime in England too right?
ReplyDeleteSounds like Gordon is just trying to force his Father in Law out to keep the lion share of the profits.
Gordon also got caught having his food prepared off-site and having it "delivered" to his restaurant in England. What kinda lousy chef does that?
ReplyDeleteGordon Ramsay has loaned his company over $10 million. I don't know him, so I can't say whether or not he is a good person. However, he FIL and BIL were fired for embezzling from Ramsay's company. They would not be charged criminally absent a complaint.
ReplyDeletePeople can sue for anything, whether factual or not. Many will sue in hopes of receiving some settlement, as it is cheaper than taking an action to court.
I doubt Ramsay, who, let's face it, has superstar status, would be hot for a slightly overweight middle aged broad.
Gordon Ramsay gives me anxiety. Can't stand to watch him on TV. Bleck. Sounds like he's a big pig too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting "us" know more than the story Enty wrote, this reeks of her being part of an embezzlement scheme rather than just wanting her sexually.
ReplyDeleteHere's some links to the rest of the story, not the best sources but you get the picture.

I saw him on a late night show once and the other guest was Sofia Vergara. He was all over her, physically, and she kept trying to get away but he kept invading her space over and over. She was trying to keep her cool, but it was awkward and embarrassing. He was a true pig. He also seemed drunk as hell.
ReplyDeleteAnother major asshole that for some reason we have elevated to celebrity status. For god sake, people stop watching this dick's shows!
Slightly overwieght? Seriously?
ReplyDeleteWell, Icecat, she looks like she tops 100 pounds, so I'd call her borderline obese! /sarcasm
ReplyDelete"slightly overweight middle aged broad"...wow. does being over 40 push you into the dog-doo pile?
ReplyDeletei didn't even know who gordon was until i saw an ad just now for some car and he was on it. is he really a superstar? he cooks, right? um, so what.
I am being realistic, and, BTW, I am well past 40. Yes, in the world Gordon Ramsay lives in, even in mine, this woman is slightly overweight.
ReplyDeleteGordon Ramsay, whether you like him or not (and I don't watch his shows, have seen maybe 10 Kitchen Nightmares, mostly the UK ones, but they're kind of repetitive, so I don't have an opinion, one way or another) has a status that will give him access to young hot women. I highly doubt he'd be chasing someone as "plain jane" as the woman in the photo.
@sonic monkey-to some men it's not about the looks, it's about the power
ReplyDeleteFrom what I read she is only entitled to 70K English pounds in severence under British employment law but the sexual and other claims allow the opened ended 2MM (and no Enty she did not lend GR $2M).
ReplyDeleteAmen Little Miss. I actually watched a bit of GR's show last night and he is just a nasty piece of work. I consider his behaviour very unprofessional in the kitchen. There is no reason to belittle people. If some other GOOD cooking show is on I'd rather watch that than see him make people feel like crap.
ReplyDeleteShe may be a little pear-shaped (in the American way which refers to a bodyshape, not in the English way which refers to something gone badly), but I'd hardly call this woman overweight. And I agree with whomever above said that with many men, it's not a woman's looks that spurs them to sexually harass them, but more a need to keep the woman "in her place".
ReplyDeleteThe Sofia Vergara talk show bit was truly creepy - I agree with Little Miss Smoke and Mirrors! He not only kept invading her space, he made fun of the name she gave her son. A real creep. He's also cheated on his wife with tons of women in the UK. Sadly, his wife seems to have married a man very like her father...
