Chloe Fineman is putting a restaurant on blast after a contentious encounter with staff that involved none other than Demi Moore.
The “Saturday Night Live” star took to her TikTok account on Sunday to describe an experience she and her sister Emma had at the restaurant chain Sant Ambroeus while they were in uptown Manhattan.
The siblings were having “the best day of our lives” before sitting down at one of “several empty tables” at the restaurant.
“Then I look up and it’s Pilaf little mouse ― the celebrity dog of Demi Moore,” Fineman said in her video. “And I see Demi Moore, and I was like, ‘Oh, hi!’ We’ve met once or twice, and I’ve held Pilaf because Pilaf was backstage at an ‘SNL’ show.”
The two exchanged hellos, Fineman said, but a manager approached after seeing her speaking to Moore.
“I don’t know, maybe I had no makeup on — did I not look legitimate enough for this empty room of Sant Ambroeus? And the guy’s like, ‘What are you doing here! Ma’am, come, come with me,’” Fineman said. “And I guess I didn’t realize you had to talk to another Italian guy to get a seat, even though there’s, like, a thousand empty tables.”
Fineman said it was all “very confusing” and that she tried to bring the situation under control.
“I was like, ‘Calm down. I’m not nobody ― I’m on ‘SNL.’ He was like, ‘I don’t care who you are. I treat everybody the same,’” the comedian shared. “And I was like, ‘You’re being rude.’ And he’s like, ‘You’re being rude!’”
After sharing the story, the “SNL” star said she didn’t “want to get into details,” though she added that “a personality of mine started to come up that I don’t love.”
“I took myself out of the situation,” Fineman said. “You could call it a Karen [moment]. I also call it living in New York and everyone is rude as fuck.”
“All I did was say hi to Pilaf little mouse,” she added.
Sant Ambroeus did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment on Fineman’s account of what happened.
However, DJ Samantha Ronson commented on Fineman’s TikTok post and corroborated her story.
“Lol. I was there with Pilaf and her mom and we were so confused and horrified,” Ronson wrote. “That was so rude. I’m sorry. You can sit with us, next time.”
Other people in the comments sent over restaurant suggestions for Fineman to try when she’s in that specific part of New York City again.
“The Lexington and 86th Panera wouldn’t do this to you,” one person wrote.
