Why Gordon Ramsay Once Kicked Joan Collins Out of His Restaurant

by

Gordon Ramsay is reliving a kitchen nightmare of his own.

Oh my god, you will NOT believe this! Gordon Ramsay actually told me – well, okay, he told everyone – that he kicked a HUGE Hollywood star out of one of his restaurants! Can you even imagine?! But apparently, it wasn’t because he disliked them personally, which is…a little reassuring? Still, to be kicked out by Gordon Ramsay?! I’m obsessed!

He mentioned on The Graham Norton Show on February 20th that he’d accidentally kicked Joan Collins, though Graham Norton suggested it wasn’t entirely accidental.

Let me tell you, it was a pretty interesting night at the restaurant! Apparently, a well-known actress from Dynasty came in with a food critic – the very same one who’d given us a really harsh review just a few months before. It definitely made for an awkward moment, to say the least!

Let me tell you, I once had a critic offer me some feedback, and I politely declined – I said something like, ‘Thanks, but it’s not for me.’ Now, the tricky part was, this critic was a guest of a friend of mine, Joan, and she was not happy with my response! It put me in a bit of a tight spot, honestly, navigating that situation while also being a good host.

Gordon Ramsay has apologized to 92-year-old Joan for accidentally overlooking her. He shares five children – Megan (27), twins Holly and Jack (26), Tilly (24), Oscar (6), and Jesse (2) – with his wife, Tana Ramsay. Ramsay admitted he has complicated feelings about food critics, particularly now with the rise of social media.

Ugh, it’s just SO frustrating to watch! Like, he’s a culinary genius, and everyone suddenly thinks they’re an expert because they can snap a picture of their meal? It’s infuriating! He’s constantly being judged by people who clearly know nothing about food, and now with everyone having a phone, a bad picture or a silly comment can explode online in seconds. It’s just not fair to someone with that level of talent and passion!

Gordon Ramsay has put his own past disagreements aside, but he’s now speaking out about a different public family drama. He’s referring to the ongoing rift between David and Victoria Beckham and their son, Brooklyn, and Brooklyn’s wife, Nicola.

Gordon recently told The Sun that he wants Brooklyn to remember he comes from a very supportive family. He said, ‘You’re an amazing young man, but your parents have done more for you than anyone ever will – more than any father-in-law, believe me!’

After seeing the strong relationship between Brooklyn, 26, and his parents, Gordon believed that time would help them heal.

As Gordon holds out hope for peace amongst the Beckhams, keep reading to see more celebrity feuds…

In January 2024, Bobby (second from left in the picture) spoke about rumors of a disagreement with Tan (center). This came two months after Bobby announced he was leaving Queer Eye after being on the show for eight seasons.

He told Vanity Fair that he and Tan are doing okay despite a personal issue. He explained that whatever happened was between the two of them and didn’t affect the show, and it wasn’t a romantic matter.

In March 2024, Tan addressed claims that he tried to get his friend Jeremiah Brent to replace Bobby on the show Queer Eye.

Netflix and the production team held extensive auditions. I didn’t recommend my friend for the role, but they ultimately landed it because they were the most qualified. I also want to clarify that I didn’t influence the decision by having anyone else removed from consideration, as he explained in an Instagram post.

During a September 2023 game of “Stir the Pot” with her daughter, Kelly Osbourne, on TopMob News, Sharon Osbourne revealed that she considered Danny Masterson, known from “That ’70s Show,” to be the rudest celebrity she’d ever encountered. She described him as a very rude and unpleasant person.

He did not respond to her remarks publicly.

Five years ago, Sharon shared with Larry King that Ashton seemed upset when he was on The Talk in 2014, after she mispronounced his name.

I remember him asking me, completely out of the blue, who I was and what I’d even done in this business. Honestly, my immediate reaction was pretty fierce! I basically told him, ‘Look, don’t even try to mess with me, because I’ll completely destroy you.’ I really wanted to get across that he had no idea who he was talking to, or what I was capable of.

In August 2022, Cassadee Pope and Maren Morris publicly disagreed with Brittany Aldean, wife of country singer Jason Aldean. This followed a post Brittany shared on Instagram on August 23rd, where she thanked her parents for not allowing her to transition during a phase where she preferred traditionally masculine interests, stating she enjoyed being feminine.

In a 2022 TikTok trend, JoJo Siwa called Candace Cameron Bure the “rudest” celebrity she’d met, saying Bure once turned down her request for a photo on the red carpet. Soon after, Bure publicly apologized, admitting she had hurt Siwa’s feelings when she was younger and saying, “I’m so sorry, JoJo!”

Candace and the other person resolved their differences. However, when asked months later if her network, Great American Family, would ever feature same-sex couples as the main characters in holiday films, she stated it wouldn’t, explaining that the network would continue to focus on traditional marriage.

JoJo, who publicly shared they are part of the LGBTQ+ community in 2021, responded to the actress’s comment on Instagram, calling it “rude and hurtful to the entire LGBTQ+ community.”

In June 2021, Courtney Love claimed that Olivia Rodrigo had copied the album cover art of her band, Hole, for a promotional photo without providing credit. Olivia responded with a simple, “Love u and live through this sooooo much.” Courtney then playfully replied, “Olivia – you’re welcome. My favorite florist is in Notting Hill, London! DM me for details! I look forward to reading your note [winking face emoji].”

While on Watch What Happens Live, the actor from Happy Days explained why he and the star of Forrest Gump didn’t get along while filming their 1989 movie, Turner & Hooch.

I directed the movie for thirteen days, and then Jeff Katzenberg, the producer, called me into his office and told me to go home – that I had everything I needed.

Winkler and Hanks’ dog seemed to hit it off. “I really loved that dog,” Winkler said, “We got along great.”

He also refused to admit if he’s even seen the flick. 

“You know what you did!”

Anyone who watched The Hills probably remembers that famous line from Lauren, spoken at the start of season three. The drama between her and Heidi began when Heidi started dating Spencer Pratt. It really exploded, though, when Lauren claimed Heidi and Spencer spread a false rumor that she’d made a sex tape with her boyfriend at the time, Jason Wahler.

Tyrese and Dwayne Johnson had a public falling out in 2017, starting with an Instagram post by Tyrese complaining about the delay of Fast & Furious 9 to April 2020. The same day, a Fast & Furious spin-off film featuring Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham was announced, set to release in 2019. Shortly after, Tyrese said he would leave Fast 9 if Dwayne Johnson was still involved.

Look, the situation with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and me has been a bit public, and I want to clear things up. I haven’t spoken to him directly, not even once, but we will talk – I’m committed to that. I did connect with one of his producing partners to try and bridge the gap, but it hasn’t been enough to get me face-to-face with Dwayne just yet. It’s something I’m working on, though.

Tyrese admitted he shouldn’t have publicly shared frustrations he heard from others connected to the franchise. He explained he was the one who spoke out, which he acknowledges was unprofessional and a mistake. “It’s my own fault,” he said. “It wasn’t cool.”

No more bad blood here.

Oh my gosh, you will NOT believe the drama with Taylor and Katy Perry! They were fighting for YEARS, and honestly, I always thought ‘Bad Blood’ was totally about her! Apparently, it all started over a dancer and when they were both touring at the same time – can you imagine?! But then, right before Taylor’s Reputation tour, Katy sent her an actual olive branch! Like, a peace offering! It was the sweetest thing, and I was SO relieved they finally made up. I’ve been following this since day one and it’s just… amazing to see them friends now!

Taylor shared on Instagram that she found a real olive branch in her dressing room, saying it meant a lot to her.

Taylor captioned the video, “Thank you Katy.”

For years, Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker, stars of Sex and the City, dismissed rumors of a disagreement. However, speculation resurfaced when Kim chose not to participate in a third movie and publicly made some pointed remarks about her co-star.

During a September 2017 appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen asked Sarah Jessica Parker how she felt about Kim Cattrall publicly stating to Piers Morgan that they were only ever work colleagues, not friends.

She was really upset, saying she was heartbroken. They had talked about it all week, and she felt it didn’t match her memory of what had happened. She just found the whole situation very disturbing.

It’s definitely sad, but I believe what truly connects us is the unique experience we all shared. It started as a job, but over the years, it became something deeply personal. I hope that those years of working on something special, and the connection we all felt, will ultimately be more important than any recent disagreements. It was a real privilege to be a part of it.

And though they didn’t film scenes together, Kim did make a small appearance on And Just Like That.

Elton John and Madonna have been publicly disagreeing since 2004. The conflict began when Elton, while accepting an award, criticized Madonna’s live performances, using strong language to suggest she relied too much on lip-syncing. He stated that performers who don’t sing live should face serious consequences, especially considering the money fans pay to see them.

The actress, formerly known for her role on Grey’s Anatomy, caused a disagreement with the show’s creator back in 2008 when she asked to be removed from Emmy Award nominations. She explained her decision by saying she hadn’t been given storylines that she felt deserved recognition.

Shonda Rhimes discussed Katherine’s choice in a 2012 interview with Oprah Winfrey on Oprah’s Next Chapter. She admitted it was a little hurtful, but not entirely unexpected. “When people show you their true colors, you should believe them,” Shonda explained. “That’s a lesson I’ve really taken to heart, and it’s helped me a lot.”

As a lifestyle expert, I remember the buzz around the incident at Harper’s Bazaar’s Icon party during New York Fashion Week – it was everywhere! The disagreement between Nicki and Cardi really captured everyone’s attention. And shortly after, Cardi actually shared what led to that whole situation, giving us some insight into what happened behind the scenes.

Ugh, I’m so frustrated! Cardi B said in W magazine that this other person has been constantly coming for her, you know? Apparently, they talked it out twice and thought things were cool, but she just wouldn’t let it go! It’s like, can’t she just leave Cardi alone?! It’s so annoying to watch, honestly. I’m totally on Cardi’s side, of course.

The conflict really escalated when Cardi B noticed Nicki Minaj had supposedly reacted to a tweet criticizing Cardi’s parenting, though Nicki claims she didn’t actually engage with it.

Cardi B explained that she chose to be with her daughter instead of pursuing a highly profitable Bruno Mars tour. She emphasized how much she loves her daughter and considers herself a dedicated mother. She responded to criticism about a recent incident by saying opportunities to meet other artists are rare, and she wouldn’t get another chance like that in a casual setting.

The conflict between Kanye West and Taylor Swift began in 2009 when he interrupted her acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards. They later reconciled and became friends, but their relationship fell apart in 2016 following the release of Kanye’s song “Famous,” which included a reference to Taylor.

Just before the Grammys in February 2025, Kanye West began following only Taylor Swift on Instagram. He didn’t offer any explanation for this action, and Taylor Swift hasn’t publicly acknowledged it.

“I don’t know her.”

The rumored rivalry between Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez began in 2003 during a German TV interview. When asked about Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey famously stated, “I don’t know her.”
