Sonja Morgan has been banned from Tucci, an Italian restaurant in the NoHo neighborhood of New York City, after reportedly throwing a fit at the hotspot on Saturday night after staff failed to comp her $1,000 tab.
According to a new report, the 61-year-old Real Housewives of New York City alum attempted to evade payment, citing a number of reasons, including her role as a single mother, as she called owner Max Tucci in hopes of getting her meal — and the meal of her four guests — for free.
“She was absolutely hysterical and refused to pay. It was like she was filming a ‘Housewives’ episode, shouting, ‘I’m a celebrity!’” a source revealed to Page Six on May 12. “She was like, ‘I don’t pay; people pay me [to go to their restaurants].’ She was absolutely entitled and caused a scene about not paying.”
Sonja reportedly showed up to the restaurant with a reservation for three, even though she had a party of five, and mistakenly assumed that she would not have to pay for a thing. As the outlet explained, Sonja had planned to start at Tucci before heading to Boom Boom for a birthday celebration for her cousin, Jack Morgan, 30.
