Amy's Baking Company Alleges Gordon Ramsay Sexually Harassed Owner Amy
The owners of Amy's Baking Company, featured on Fox's "Kitchen Nightmares," have now alleged that Gordon Ramsay sexually harassed owner Amy Bouzaglo during filming. The owners have had a very public dispute with Ramsay and the "Nightmares" staff since their first episode aired in May; now they are due to be back on the series on April 11.
"You harassed my wife, sexually harassed, in the kitchen, he did. He did that," Amy's husband Samy says in a YouTube video posted on November 5, 2013. "He is nothing," Samy says of Ramsay, "because I show him I am not the other restaurants. He did what he wanted from other wives. Put them on the war between husbands and wife. He tried. He tried!"
"More drama!" Amy exclaims.

"And we fired him," Samy adds. "Don't believe what he say – he left in the middle of the night. We had this coming out. He wasn't supposed to air our show. And they did – it was not finished!"
The show did air, complete with Ramsay deciding that he could do nothing to help the obstinate owners who fought him at every turn. Eventually, Ramsay walked out on the couple, a first in the history of the "Kitchen Nightmares" series. Fans could not get enough of Amy's Baking Company, and the episode became the most watched. In fact, it became so popular that Ramsay decided to do another visit for the upcoming season premiere.
Even during the return, Ramsay was not welcomed by Samy, who boasted that he hold Ramsay to leave and shut down production. The "reunion" is set to air in two weeks, much to the delight of fans of the series and of Amy's Baking Company.
"The owners of Amy's Baking Company continue to make baseless and inflammatory comments," a spokesperson for the series told Radar Online. "These ridiculous accusations are completely untrue."
"Kitchen Nightmares" returns on Fox on April 11, with a return to Amy's Baking Company.
