“Unless Quintus formally apologizes, he will not be welcome in Manita.” These are the blunt words of the owner of Manita, the restaurant in Toronto (Canada) from which the protagonist of the saga Star Trek, Zachary Quinto, was expelled last Sunday, June 2. The reason? The message from the person in charge of the establishment has also made it clear: for “behaving like a spoiled child.” According to several American media outlets, such as Los Angeles Times, People either TMZ, the actor was expelled after berating and yelling at the staff serving him because “he couldn’t sit down and eat as fast as he wanted.” “Take your bad vibes somewhere else,” reads the published publication. on social networks by the restaurant: “We have many lovely celebrities joining us at Manita, but you are not one of them.” At the moment, the American actor has not commented on the matter.

Zachary Quinto has not been the only one—and he probably won’t be the last—to make headlines for behaving in a bad manner in a restaurant. Hailey Bieber, wife of Justin Bieber, was forced to apologize after a New York restaurant accused him of being disrespectful to her staff: “she had not been nice to the waiters.” And so a huge list: in 2022, the iconic host James Corden was banned from Balthazar, an upscale French restaurant in Manhattan, until he “profusely apologized” to the owner, who had previously publicly called him a “ cretin”: “The most abusive customer since the restaurant opened 25 years ago.”
