Gordon Ramsay has found yet another restauranteur to lay into — and this time it’s his former business partner.
The “Hell’s Kitchen” hothead has filed a lawsuit seeking more than $2.5 million from Danny Lavy and Lavy’s business 9226-7558 Quebec Inc., claiming that Lavy and the company breached their contract with Ramsay and made several false and defamatory comments about him in relation to a Canadian restaurant that they were involved in.
According to the suit, filed in Quebec Superior Court, Ramsay and the defendants entered into a licensing agreement in July 2011, with Ramsay agreeing to license his name and likeness to the restaurant Laurier Gordon Ramsay. However, in February, the agreement was terminated.
