Gordon has the ability to see the entire picture at once transcending these petty arguments. The drama makes for great television, while at the same time, saving a restaurant makes for a happy ending, which is also great television.
Still love the scene at 1:26:26, when the waitress recommends Gordon probably one of the last menu items, where the kitchen ist still in control of the preparation. Nice act of solidarity towards her colleagues in the kitchen, giving them the opportunity to show Gordon what they are actually capable to doing.
Yeah, and the bread pudding was the only thing not derivining from the new owner...but, rather from the cook, and also the only thing that Ramsay complimennted.
Its American Television, while it might not be scripted it is entirely directed and the more the owners ham it up, the more they make off the show. There is a big reason why 1 of 2 things happen, the owners have some massive turnaround and get a bunch of publicity, or they dont but the restaurant gets a big makeover before they shut down and sell off the building to profit or break even on their failing business.
I lost it when he called her stuck up precious little B word lmaooo like yes, go off King there’s only so much abuse you can take from an owner in denial
It seems fake although you gotta remember this was at a time when internet access in your pocket just was starting to become mainstream and every loser with a Twitter account was treated as if they were all serious journalists
no literally. at the jamaican patty place I frequent you can see through to the kitchen and they’re always frantically making and rolling dough or seasoning the beef
@@zippydeedoda I don’t think they make everything fresh. I go for Jamaican food in my city and in other cities. I think they make the cabbage and rice ahead of time, not made to order. I don’t even think they make the jerk chicken made to order. Maybe they cook the food that day but idk about them cooking everything to order because that food takes time to prepare. It probably takes 4 hours realistically to prepare a plate. Just saying.
I really, really, really, really HATE how Abby throws Jimmy under the bus when she was the one who was tripping him up. Kitchen seemed to be doing fine and then she started barking at him, confusing him. She literally sabotages him so that she can blame him for the problems.
She also decides he's the head chef when Gordon finds the state of the fridge, when before he wasn't ~responsible~ enough to be head chef. When him being head chef would mean she has someone to blame, suddenly he's the head chef.
You know, usually, someone with Gordon's experience would usually cost a small fortune to come in and help you with your business. Gordon does it basically for free and only wants the show in return, so listening to him is important, because he has no reason to sugarcoat anything like a hired help would do in order to not get his contract canceled.
He does not do it for free, he makes a lot of money from this show. Heck Hells Kitchen he makes 225K PER episode. So yeah with Kitchen Nightmare he makes good money
22:53 I think this is a lesson a lot of places could use. I just came back from a trip to Japan and was blown away both at the high quality of the food, speed of service but also how small the menus were. And I certainly wasn't eating at fancy Michelin star restaurants but just "average" places on the street or train stations. But over there, the restaurants rarely have more than 2 pages on their menus and often only 1. I definitely think it's better to do a few things really well, rather than many things subpar.
I've worked as a waiter in a couple of pretty good restaurants. The menus were barely one page, but had rave reviews. Doing a few things brilliantly will always win.
Dr Morris could only endure for a day that her son was allowed to take on a little responsibility and have his own opinion. That really says it all. Another lost cause on kitchen nightmares.
There was no saving her. She cried and blamed her son being not committed and arguing with her but we see that every time he tried to speak, she shut him down, so who would want to work in that environment? And the fact that when Gordon spoke to Keone, he just listened and didn't get defensive or try and throw Una under the bus proved that he definitely wasn't the problem
I really felt bad for the son. He was trying to tell his mother and fix the situation and she kept belittling him and blaming everything on him instead of taking accountability. You can see the son have passion for food and the mother opened it for her ego.
Another lost cause? The Kingston Grill stayed open with great reviews until covid hit in 2018! She followed what GR taught her. She wanted her son to to be a doctor and he's still ; in school for it. So she's a winner in his life and her's. She's 77 now and still running a catering service! I'm sure Gordon opened her eyes. In 1964 and 68 she set new Jamaican records and won Bronze medals.
@@Caramelized_Suga The son will be a be a doctor in a few months! She wanted this for him. He's a winner because of his mom and her strong will to be the best he can be! She is still has a catering service and is 77 years old. They stayed open with great reviews until 2018 when covid hit! It's a win win for her and her son, Gordan played a big part in all of this.

The idea of firing customers makes sense, but its normally called "barring" or "banning." And it's normally used for people that try to get free meals consistently, not people that don't like your food. For instance, I used to work at a restaurant, as a server/manager, and I would have to bar people, granted not very often, for trying to get free meals or for being disorderly. Drunks that would come in already hammered, asking to be served drinks, and when they get told no, they immediately start to argue and yell. I've also had people lie about meals to ask if they could get a new meal... After they already ate their ENTIRE first meal... And they would normally ask for a box and get two meals for one (or for free depending on whether or not the owner was there). A couple times of them doing that led us to not allow them to be served in our restaurant.

Point being it's completely ok to think people won't like food or spices from a different nation, it doesn't have any racial prejudice in cases like this.
It's actually quite insane that a radiologist works in a restaurant. As a radiologist you basically have a license to print money and yet you're entering one of the most competitive industries in existence.
My heart broke 💔 😢 to see Chef treated the way Abby treated him at first. Chef Ramsay is such a good, honest man and an even better man for hanging in there with her denial and omg - what? her outrageously nasty foul mouth attitude. Mixed in with her stubbornness, just shocking. Bravo, Chef Ramsay you are a gem 💎 ❤️ 👏
Dr Morris is a genuine narcissist. I was married to one for 13 years. They can do no wrong. Everyone else is to blame. The classic narcissist slogan “ don’t interrupt me.” But they will sure as heck interrupt you.
i saw Abby in person working at a bar in Attleboro MA lol I could tell SHE could tell i recognized her from the show lol she looked very uncomfortable lol
The fact that you felt the need to report this micro interaction and got some sort of odd enjoyment over her looking uncomfortable would tend to indicate this is a problem you have with a lot of people. That and the username/odd nose piercing/uncanny valley uneven eyes/gaping nostrils. Heck, I don't think it was about being recognised.
"Jerk chicken is supposed to be dry" - In what world?! I've had leftover jerk chicken and it was still moist (and blew my socks off). I knew she just said that as an excuse, but I feel like that was disrespectful to many great Jamaican chefs and home cooks.
I feel sorry for the workers being disrespected by owners that have personal issues much larger than their debt. Sad that cooks and chefs have to deal with these insufferable people and their lack of respect and compassion.
As many shows that I have watched of Gordon Ramsay is when he brings the new menus out and these people get to actually taste what food is supposed to taste like instead of the crap that they have been putting out, Gordon Ramsay you know what you're doing when you make them taste real food congratulations I admire you to the tippy top of the mountain and love watching your shows and how you turn things around❤
the last episode is so disheartening. here is a restaurant that it’s original owner poured his heart and soul into and made something amazing, then some vultures swoop in, buy it and run it into the ground taking what made it special into dirt.
You can tell how little Abby listens cause when her server came to her saying there were 3 p's in pepper, as in "peppp-" she said "yeah! there is!" thinking "pepp(er)" which is yeah, 3. But not what he was trying to tell her 😅
18:35 "You're a disgrace to the industry!" Yes, Abby. That's why he owns over 20 restaurant, many of which have Michelin stars, and host, or has appeared in a dozen of cooking shows and some people even immitate his recipes in their restaurants. A disgrace, indeed.
She wouldn't know it now, but he's shifting towards it 😅 have you seen his god awful frozen food dishes? ITS GORDAN RAMSEY'S FROZEN FOOD BRAND. Despicable.
@@Chris-ew7pbngl theyre actually pretty good.. i only had the vegetarian ones and if they were cheaper id deadass buy em more 😭😭 i live in a dorm so i got no kitchen and theyre honestly bomb as hell for frozen dinners 🤣
I feel like G was a little hard on Keone. The only reason he argues is because he sees what is being done wrong and if they would have done things his way more from the start they may not be in this mess financially. He advocated for better food and she micromanaged about insignificant things like a table cloth being an inch off. He saw what was wrong and she would not listen. Now G is saying the same things. He lost his passion because he was not given a voice.
All he would have to say to her is "If this business fails because of your stubbornness I WILL LOSE MY DAY JOB DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?" and that might have kicked her in the ass faster.
@@RandomGuyCDN She was likely well aware of his situation. She doesn't didn't believe it was as bad as he did. 30 years of experience in the industry probably made her stubborn to think she was doing anything wrong. It doesn't help that maybe she was negative at the start or it went downhill and set her into negativity, but the real sad part (about her) is that as things got worse, her mood got worse. 30 years just shat out the drain. I'm not defending her by any means, she's crazy in the episode.
I wotked in finance like him he should know that a restaurant that seasonal in a place like p town is not a good investment ....it gets cold their in the winter
Exactly like don't act like a brat when you asked for help and gordon is a really good chef so tf are these people not trusting his judgement on their food and stuff? Ridiculous
If Gordon Ramsay comes to your restaurant to help you just shut up and listen to him. he is there to help you but he cant help you if you cant help yourself.
"When you own the restaurant, and your name is on a lease, then you can tell me how you run the business." Gordon Ramsay, who owns 30 restaurants in the US alone as of 2023:
"How would you feel if somebody said all you did in your life is shit?" Like your restaurant isn't working out Abby. That's why you ask for him to come to say how to help you. You have to know that something isn't right.
@@ericrivera8410 There's nuance to it. There's good pride and bad pride. Taking pride in your work when you know you've given it your best is good, especially if you use that "high" to fuel further progress in your development. Pride is bad when you become obstinate in the face of failure and are too egotistical to admit wrongdoing. Pride becomes a liability when you ride off your laurels and lose humility. Humility tempers pride and is a necessary part of good pride. "Pride comes before a fall" if you believe you're untouchable and have nothing to improve. Never stop learning and improving. Have the humility to be a student of life.
@@AlysaAlysaBolissaBananaFannaFe I don't need a random youtube idiot to exolain to me what pride means norbdo i need the Bible a book that condones slavery to decipher their version of prode either
You gotta have some balls to tell someone like Gordon that your food is a 10/10. How can you be from “the ocean state” and not know how to cook calamari and then claim that your meatloaf is award-winning. I used to live in RI.
I occasionally come back to these episodes just for a good laugh. Chef Ramsay is the funniest guy I know, he dragged these owners to filth with a straight face 🤣🤣
You know, I watch these episodes, and I always find it hilarious that all these people get so offended when Gordon Ramsay negatively critiques their food as if they don’t realize that it’s Gordon Ramsay if the food was great, you wouldn’t have asked for his assistance in the first place. There would be no reason for him to be there and anyone who’s anyone who knows about Gordon Ramsay knows that he is a blunt brutally honest person. Did you think that he was going to walk on eggshells because it’s you? lol
That Una is an absolute super woman!.....An Olympian, a restaurant owner, a doctor and most importantly a mother....She's made my day with everything she achieved when filming this episode
It's a shame she doesn't do well in areas in life that actually matter. She's a horrible person in personality, pushing HER bs on her son. She is a regular human with an ego a milewide. Super heroes don't believe they are super heroes.
I do admire what she's achieved because credit where it's due, that's impressive no matter who you are. That being said, she's a bitch dude. Every time she cut someone off with "let me finish" it made me want to tear my own skin off a little bit more. What a silly goose. 🙃
i love that gordon is arguing with her and is still super nice to the camera men and like "please leave me alone"
Camera man's doing his job, she's doing a mockery of Ramsey's job XD

Here's the catch though, alot of their food has been modified and changed to suit the British pallets, you won't find most of the curries in India like you would in here.
Point being it's completely ok to think people won't like food or spices from a different nation, it doesn't have any racial prejudice in cases like this.
It's actually quite insane that a radiologist works in a restaurant. As a radiologist you basically have a license to print money and yet you're entering one of the most competitive industries in existence.
She craved another possible accomplishment?
She couldn't be the best there (seeing as it's not a competitive area) so she chose for her ego which is almost as big as the state of Rhode Island 😂
Simply: arrogance.
to be fair... she's a competitive person
The way these parents throw their kids under the bus in these restaurants lol
12:06 If she can’t run a restaurant with 33 years experience no way in hell she can run a hot dog stand on the beach 😅😂
most of these restaurants would flourish if people went to therapy
This!!!
Or meditated like yeshua says to do in Matthew 6:22 John 21;6 or Luke 11:34.
Or: LISTEN to their customers
What makes you think they would actually listen to a therapist
@tomferguson8368 faith in humanity but they prob will never
I love that: No captain>no guidance>no standards>no consistency
My heart broke 💔 😢 to see Chef treated the way Abby treated him at first.
Chef Ramsay is such a good, honest man and an even better man for hanging in there with her denial and omg - what? her outrageously nasty foul mouth attitude. Mixed in with her stubbornness, just shocking.
Bravo, Chef Ramsay you are a gem 💎 ❤️ 👏
Dr Morris is a genuine narcissist. I was married to one for 13 years. They can do no wrong. Everyone else is to blame. The classic narcissist slogan “ don’t interrupt me.” But they will sure as heck interrupt you.
yeah and the eyes get red and watery, as if they're crying, but when you look closer they actually aren't shedding any tears at all.
Wow….
Also, that moment when she “cried” and started talking about how her mom died when she was young. Like… I’m sorry you have trauma but fix your food.
Did you notice she rambled on about a can of pringles being more expensive than a meal at The Doctor Restaurant

To be fair if I ran a restaurant it would be a nightmare lol my name is Jake hence the joke
Zekes not Jakes
Thank you for putting the timestamps here. Really appreciate it!
Thanks!
i saw Abby in person working at a bar in Attleboro MA lol I could tell SHE could tell i recognized her from the show lol she looked very uncomfortable lol
I wanna know what the name of that bar was lol
The fact that you felt the need to report this micro interaction and got some sort of odd enjoyment over her looking uncomfortable would tend to indicate this is a problem you have with a lot of people. That and the username/odd nose piercing/uncanny valley uneven eyes/gaping nostrils.
Heck, I don't think it was about being recognised.
Owners like Abbey are the reasons why I am grateful for not working in restaurants anymore…
She reminds me of the nightmare boss I had at Zupas
@@tinglesrosyrupeeland I totally understand 🙂↔️
"Jerk chicken is supposed to be dry" - In what world?! I've had leftover jerk chicken and it was still moist (and blew my socks off). I knew she just said that as an excuse, but I feel like that was disrespectful to many great Jamaican chefs and home cooks.
This opinion is invalid unless you can produce proof of Jamaican citizenship 😉
And a sample.. definitely a sample, with sides, please! 🤭🥰
Blew your socks off lol.....leftover chicken did that... wow
Ikr? I love jerk chicken and jerk chicken being dry is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
Literally because all the jerk chicken I’ve had was tender and falling off the bone
"im not in denial, i-im not in denial 😤" im pretty sure that's what a person in denial would say 🤨
Haha! That's why it's Gordon's go-to. If they say no, they're only reinforcing his point. Haha
I feel sorry for the workers being disrespected by owners that have personal issues much larger than their debt. Sad that cooks and chefs have to deal with these insufferable people and their lack of respect and compassion.
I've never seen Gordon that angry like that in Kitchen Nightmares.
I like how he tells the cameras to fuck off when he needs to have a serious talk with someone
Yeah but they’re still mic’d up and stood strangely at the perfect spot to have 3 angles on them for that “private” chat 😂
@@mahniskel I think it was more that he didn't want them in their face, not that they needed to leave completely
Abby is a highly ranked Karen
Yep! 💯
Hehehjejejejejej
the 25th battalion 😂
Final boss Karen
I still think Abby is a friend with the owner from Cafe Hun that had a big flamingo on the front of the building. They seem like besties.
that killed me LMAOO 57:37 *she is causing the sickness, not the cure* 😭😭
Anyone else that has watched these episodes probably at least 20 times at this point. Love it
As many shows that I have watched of Gordon Ramsay is when he brings the new menus out and these people get to actually taste what food is supposed to taste like instead of the crap that they have been putting out, Gordon Ramsay you know what you're doing when you make them taste real food congratulations I admire you to the tippy top of the mountain and love watching your shows and how you turn things around❤
the last episode is so disheartening. here is a restaurant that it’s original owner poured his heart and soul into and made something amazing, then some vultures swoop in, buy it and run it into the ground taking what made it special into dirt.
Yeah. I’m watching this one right now. It’s painful because of how it once was when Zeke owned it and what happened after he died
Vultures...great descriptor!!😂
You can tell how little Abby listens cause when her server came to her saying there were 3 p's in pepper, as in "peppp-" she said "yeah! there is!" thinking "pepp(er)" which is yeah, 3. But not what he was trying to tell her 😅
Than why don't tell her properly?
@@christiangwenner6384 because she wasn't going listen? Did you watch the same episode??
Well he told her the wrong thing.
58:16 "I'm not in denial because I'm not in denial" Wauw what a compelling argument my good god🤦🏼♀️
😮
"Gorden if you continue like that Jesus will actually appear." LOOOOOL😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂!!!
abby sabotaging jimmy so she can blame him for the failure of the restaurant
Rule 1
Never get it to a pissing contest with Gordan
Not over food anyway!!! 😂
18:35
"You're a disgrace to the industry!"
Yes, Abby. That's why he owns over 20 restaurant, many of which have Michelin stars, and host, or has appeared in a dozen of cooking shows and some people even immitate his recipes in their restaurants.
A disgrace, indeed.
Thats like saying lebron James is not a real hooper 😭🤦🏾♂️
@@unblockfunny2577more like Jordan lol
She wouldn't know it now, but he's shifting towards it 😅 have you seen his god awful frozen food dishes? ITS GORDAN RAMSEY'S FROZEN FOOD BRAND. Despicable.
@@Chris-ew7pbngl theyre actually pretty good.. i only had the vegetarian ones and if they were cheaper id deadass buy em more 😭😭 i live in a dorm so i got no kitchen and theyre honestly bomb as hell for frozen dinners 🤣
2024 update on Down City! Chef now works construction, Bitch is a personal trainer at Total Fitness, Rico is VP at Bay Coast Morgage.
🧢
Raise your hand if you asked for an update. 😐
So she gets to work off all of her aggression and get paid for it.
@@christopherfields9785 raise ur hand if ur comment wasnt needed (you: 🖐)
I was just glancing at comments and thought that said morgue. 😂
32:30 "I've never seen her this emotional" bruh she spent 3 years screaming at you lmao. anger is an emotion
"youre a disgrace to the industry"
honey,
he made the industry
"I'm not in denial.. because I'm not in denial" says a lot xD
They sat the blogger where she could see and hear everything, brilliant.
I feel like G was a little hard on Keone. The only reason he argues is because he sees what is being done wrong and if they would have done things his way more from the start they may not be in this mess financially. He advocated for better food and she micromanaged about insignificant things like a table cloth being an inch off. He saw what was wrong and she would not listen. Now G is saying the same things. He lost his passion because he was not given a voice.
"Let me finnish though"
Remsey: Let me finnish my sentence first 🤣😂
Ramsay
Finish
If I see Chef Ramsey walk out of a restaurant in disgust, I will be walking out too
Abby clearly dosnt care about her friend and “buisness partner’s” life and livelihood because if she did she would be cutting her crap
All he would have to say to her is "If this business fails because of your stubbornness I WILL LOSE MY DAY JOB DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?" and that might have kicked her in the ass faster.
@@RandomGuyCDNshe must know, she just doesn't care because she's got such a flaming ego.
@@RandomGuyCDN She was likely well aware of his situation. She doesn't didn't believe it was as bad as he did. 30 years of experience in the industry probably made her stubborn to think she was doing anything wrong. It doesn't help that maybe she was negative at the start or it went downhill and set her into negativity, but the real sad part (about her) is that as things got worse, her mood got worse. 30 years just shat out the drain. I'm not defending her by any means, she's crazy in the episode.
I wotked in finance like him he should know that a restaurant that seasonal in a place like p town is not a good investment ....it gets cold their in the winter
@@Chris-ew7pbi read It as a Flamingo ego and i can't unread It know lmao
i wonder why owners get so defensive if they’re the ones to call for help?? do they not know who Gordon is? 😂
Exactly like don't act like a brat when you asked for help and gordon is a really good chef so tf are these people not trusting his judgement on their food and stuff? Ridiculous
They probably think they just need some kind of of culinary advice and don't realize the reason the business is failing is because of them
If Gordon Ramsay comes to your restaurant to help you just shut up and listen to him.
he is there to help you but he cant help you if you cant help yourself.
Facts
I love when the owners end up loving Chef Ramsay and embrace the new changes needed to be made. Always love a happy ending!
Well it's not often the the Karen IS a manager.. She might wanna have a word with herself 🤣
Lol😂
"You're in denial"
"No I'm not!"
Abby on day one: F you get out of my Restaurant
Abby after good Service: i love gordon ramsay
Apparently Zekes closed within a few months. Darryl is a life coach amusingly 😂
Surprised he's not a tv preacher
What a shame staff wise, they deserved much better 😣 but the owners had it coming
Q: "How tough is your mom on a scale from 1-10?"
A: "35"
🤣🤣🤣
52:52 this is the best line evr HAHAHAH
"I'm not Defending"
not even 3 seconds later: *starts defending*
"When you own the restaurant, and your name is on a lease, then you can tell me how you run the business."
Gordon Ramsay, who owns 30 restaurants in the US alone as of 2023:
OMG I Love when Chef Ramsay goes fishing around in the walk in coolers!!!! AAGGHHHHHH!!!!!
😂 BLOGGERS LIVE AT THEIR TABLE! PANIC!
Nothing screams authentically Jamaican like salad in a cocktail glass!🤣
"Youre one of the customers I would fire immediately."
This was her wanting to clap-back but her insane mouth ran faster than her brain.
Bro, Kent Weed has the *BEST* name in the world
"How would you feel if somebody said all you did in your life is shit?" Like your restaurant isn't working out Abby. That's why you ask for him to come to say how to help you. You have to know that something isn't right.
“Why are you stubborn”
*no hesitation* “I’m not stubborn”
I love how ppl that have no clue how to run a kitchen try to make it seem that Ramsay doesn't know what hes doing.
Pride ain't the worst sin for nothing.
I take pride in my artwork the way I look the way I present myself pride is MIT a bad thing unless you read the bible
@@ericrivera8410 There's nuance to it. There's good pride and bad pride. Taking pride in your work when you know you've given it your best is good, especially if you use that "high" to fuel further progress in your development. Pride is bad when you become obstinate in the face of failure and are too egotistical to admit wrongdoing.
Pride becomes a liability when you ride off your laurels and lose humility. Humility tempers pride and is a necessary part of good pride. "Pride comes before a fall" if you believe you're untouchable and have nothing to improve. Never stop learning and improving. Have the humility to be a student of life.
@@AlysaAlysaBolissaBananaFannaFe I don't need a random youtube idiot to exolain to me what pride means norbdo i need the Bible a book that condones slavery to decipher their version of prode either
DR. Una gave G a B+ for his chicken but says the people will want the old chicken too. Old being the key word lol. She is a tough cookie!!!!
You gotta have some balls to tell someone like Gordon that your food is a 10/10. How can you be from “the ocean state” and not know how to cook calamari and then claim that your meatloaf is award-winning. I used to live in RI.
Love watching these and knowing I can have a better restaurant all around while I eat simple pasta dishes
@ 30:19...under Jimmy's name it should've said: "not the lead chef/ lead chef" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
18:22 “I don’t even talk to my staff like this”
Very telling.
"Funeral in my mouth" sent meeeee😂😂😂
I occasionally come back to these episodes just for a good laugh. Chef Ramsay is the funniest guy I know, he dragged these owners to filth with a straight face 🤣🤣
You know, I watch these episodes, and I always find it hilarious that all these people get so offended when Gordon Ramsay negatively critiques their food as if they don’t realize that it’s Gordon Ramsay if the food was great, you wouldn’t have asked for his assistance in the first place. There would be no reason for him to be there and anyone who’s anyone who knows about Gordon Ramsay knows that he is a blunt brutally honest person. Did you think that he was going to walk on eggshells because it’s you? lol
That Una is an absolute super woman!.....An Olympian, a restaurant owner, a doctor and most importantly a mother....She's made my day with everything she achieved when filming this episode
Not even the MCU chicks can compete with that.
Good for her.
Too bad she is a bad mother that does not allow her son to be a person.
It's a shame she doesn't do well in areas in life that actually matter. She's a horrible person in personality, pushing HER bs on her son. She is a regular human with an ego a milewide. Super heroes don't believe they are super heroes.
I do admire what she's achieved because credit where it's due, that's impressive no matter who you are. That being said, she's a bitch dude. Every time she cut someone off with "let me finish" it made me want to tear my own skin off a little bit more. What a silly goose. 🙃
you forgot something: and a denial narcissist
Love when Mr Gordon says “Wow, wow, wow, wow!”
She really said ‘you’re a disgrace to the industry’ 😂😂😂
