Amy Bouzaglo of Amy’s Baking Company Calls Gordon Ramsay A ‘Ginger Head Troll’
Even after the relatively uneventful grand re-launching of their restaurant, Amy's Baking Company co-owner Amy Bouzaglo still has a lot of things to say to chef Gordon Ramsay. The controversial restaurateur calls the blond "Kitchen Nightmare" host a "ginger head troll" who wants to ruin their life.
Amy and husband Samy Bouzaglo have been getting bad reviews on YELP and Facebook even before their disastrous appearance on the U.S. Fox reality show, which was filmed in December and aired earlier this month.
They said that they wanted to appear on the show to contradict the bad reviews that they have, thinking that if a world-renowned chef like Ramsay complimented the restaurant, other people would believe him. Unfortunately, Ramsay had to agree with the negative reviews. The couple's time on the show only aggravated their already suffering reputation.
So to fight negative publicity, the Bouzaglos staged a grand re-opening week, which, according to diners of the Scottsdale, Arizona eatery, was rather uneventful compared to the circus that they had shown in the past.
It should have ended there. While the couple didn't exactly get enough glowing reviews to counter their destructive reputation, they were in the right path.
But that's not enough for Amy. She has to rip Ramsay apart as well. When RadarOnline.com asked her if she would ever invite the Michelin-starred chef back in their restaurant, she replied:
"Never! He is a ginger head troll! He tried to ruin my business and my life. And he is obsessed with my husband's ball! No cake for him!!!"
Amy should be careful, though. The producers of the show specifically prohibited them from speaking ill of the show and the host.
"If you speak about the show without Upper Ground's and Fox's prior approval, and if you disparage the show, its host, or its producers, you will breach your obligations under Paragraph 10 of your Personal Release and Paragraph 14 of your Participant Agreement," the letter from the show's lawyers partly reads.
"These agreements prohibit you from speaking publicly about Kitchen Nightmares, other than to acknowledge 'the mere fact of your participation in the Series in personal publicity relating to yourself.' Your conduct exposes each of you to liability for liquidated damages of $100,000."
A possible lawsuit from the show's producers isn't the only thing that the couple should worry about. It has been revealed that Samy, who hailed from Israel, is facing deportation suit for allegedly not disclosing his criminal past in his immigration petition.
