Police were called to the 21st birthday dinner for Rachel Hobbs, better known by her adult film star name Lacey Lorenzo, when she reportedly got into an argument with a waitress after she complained about dirty plates.
The late-night U.K. actress said that the dinner ended in tears when a waitress at Toby Carvery in south London yelled, "At least I don't get my tits out on TV" in front of Hobbs' family.
Hobbs' 76-year-old grandmother had not known what she did for a living until then, she told the Daily Mail.
She recalled to the publication:
They gave us dirty plates. They had bits of dried food stuck to them. When I said, "Excuse me, these plates are dirty," the staff had such bad attitude that they just grabbed them back. I said, "That is not very good customer service," and the waitress shouted out in front of everybody, "At least I don't get my tits out on TV."
She added, "It's just my job. My nan didn't even know about my job until then but they obviously knew who I was in there. ... It ruined my birthday. I was crying. I just wanted to have fun on that day."
Police were called after Hobbs also lost her temper, her mother said, but a spokesman for the chain eventually issued an apology for their waitress' "unprofessional comments."
They said:
We apologise to Rachel or her family for any upset caused and for the unprofessional comments made by a member of our team. We have investigated the complaint fully and are dealing with the employee involved. Our manager apologised unreservedly to the family at the time and also waived the meal bill as a gesture of goodwill.
As for Hobbs' grandmother, she seemed mostly surprised by the party itself: "It was a pretty bad commotion. I am not up with what Rachel does. I was not expecting the police to turn up at her birthday."
