In Sunday’s Dirt Bag we reported Ruby Rose was kicked out of a New Orleans restaurant after a spat involving her throwing french fries at a bartender. The owner told NOLA.com Rose was entirely in the wrong, but Rose has since responded with her own version of events.
She claims a bartender apologized for the restaurant’s slow service by offering a round of free drinks. After Rose explained she is sober, things got ugly. She writes (bold mine):
He then made some really rude and vulgar comments to the table. When someone makes repeated derogatory jokes about the sobriety I worked so hard to achieve, it’s hard not to react emotionally. So I threw a singular fry at him. Then he came back as we were getting ready to leave and continued making awful comments, so I continued with the fries. Every day I learn new lessons about handling cultural and social ignorance. I am deeply regretful to the French fry and I am regretful that I reacted at all. Maybe next time I won’t throw fries, then again, maybe next time that bartender won’t tell someone who is sober to “go call your f**king sponsor!”
On a scale of 1-10, this celebrity apology gets a 9.5. It’s unfortunate that Rose was made fun of for her sobriety, but at least it led to the rest of us being blessed with a line like, “So I threw a singular fry at him.”
