[ # ] Can you believe this guy is suing Gordon Ramsey?
April 22nd, 2008 under Fox



Can you believe that Martin Hyde is suing Gordon Ramsey and Kitchen Nightmares for $1 million in London for re-airing the show there and Martin says the show ruined his life according to Daily Mail.

Mr Hyde, who lived in Balham, South London, before moving to New York more than a decade ago, said he now lives in fear of being recognised as “that loser from the Ramsay kitchen show”.
“Being ridiculed by Gordon Ramsay on TV has wrecked my life,” he said. ‘Gordon completely assassinated my character.
“My reputation is in tatters and nobody wants to employ me. I’ve only managed to watch it once – because it is like watching myself getting mugged.”
He said he is recognised by British tourists as well as Americans now that the show has aired in Britain.
He also claimed some of the scenes were faked for the cameras.
When the restaurant is shown reopening after Ramsay has made substantial changes, it appears packed with satisfied customers.
Mr Hyde claims many were actually hired extras.
He also claims at one point he was told to lie down and rest, only to be filmed and made to look “a lazy idiot”.
“I’d love people to be able to see the unedited footage,” he said.
“Gordon called me a fake – but the whole show is a fake.”
He claims the producers and Ramsay refused to film the restaurant’s cabaret bar, which produced 70 per cent of its revenue.

Daily Mail says that he is also trying to sue Gordon and Fox here in the states.

Last night a Channel 4 spokesman said: “These allegations were first made public last year as part of a court case in the U.S. and were strongly disputed by the production companies involved.
“Channel 4 is not a party to any court case on these matters.”

Do you think he has a case?
