Gordon Ramsay Kicks Lia Thomas Out of Restaurant and Ban for Life, Says ‘Cheater Not Welcome Here’
In what can only be described as the most “Gordon Ramsay” move of the year, the fiery chef and television personality has reportedly banned Lia Thomas, the controversial swimmer, from one of his restaurants for life. Ramsay, never one to mince words, allegedly shouted, “Cheaters not welcome here!” as he showed Thomas the door.
The incident took place at one of Ramsay’s high-end establishments, where diners were left stunned as the celebrity chef made a scene that rivaled any episode of Hell’s Kitchen. According to witnesses, Thomas had just ordered the chef’s signature beef Wellington when Ramsay stormed out of the kitchen, spatula in hand, and demanded she leave.
“You don’t just waltz into my restaurant like it’s a pool, thinking you can break all the rules!” Ramsay reportedly yelled. “This is a Michelin-starred establishment, not a place for shortcuts or controversy!”
While Thomas appeared unfazed by the outburst, Ramsay’s staff was allegedly more concerned about the PR nightmare than the swimmer’s presence. “We’ve seen Gordon lose it before,” said one server, who wished to remain anonymous, “but this was a new level of rage. He even threw a sous vide machine!”
Social media exploded shortly after the incident, with Ramsay doubling down in a tweet:
“Integrity matters in life, the kitchen, and sports. Cheaters will never earn my respect. #NoShortcuts #BeefWellington”
Thomas, however, has yet to publicly address the ban, although sources close to her claim she simply shrugged and went to another restaurant nearby.
As for Ramsay, when asked if he’d reconsider his decision, the chef reportedly muttered, “Not bloody likely,” before returning to the kitchen to perfect his risotto.
The culinary world remains divided, with some applauding Ramsay’s stance on principles and others criticizing him for bringing sports controversies to the dinner table. Either way, one thing is certain: it’s never a dull moment when Gordon Ramsay is involved.
