{"id":"amys-baking-company-pr-scandal","name":"Amys Baking Company Pr Scandal","summary":"Amy's Baking Company PR Scandal was a May 2013 online meltdown by the husband-and-wife owners of a Scottsdale, Arizona restaurant after their disastrous Kitchen Nightmares appearance, in which Gordon Ramsay walked out for the first time in the show's history. Amy and Samy Bouzaglo torched their own reputation with expletive-laced Facebook attacks on Reddit and Yelp critics before claiming hackers had taken over every account they owned. It is still cited online as a textbook example of how not to respond to bad reviews.","tags":["amys baking company","kitchen nightmares","amy bouzaglo","samy bouzaglo","gordon ramsay walked out","reddit cringepics","facebook meltdown","yelp scandal"],"howToUse":[],"imageCount":4,"nsfw":false,"images":[{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/amys-baking-company-pr-scandal/amys-baking-company-pr-scandal-amy-samy-bouzaglo-portrait.webp","caption":"Samy and Amy Bouzaglo, the owners of Amy's Baking Company Bakery Boutique & Bistro, whose meltdown on Kitchen Nightmares sparked a viral online PR scandal.","width":1920,"height":1080,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/amys-baking-company-pr-scandal/amys-baking-company-pr-scandal-facebook-all-caps-rant.webp","caption":"One of the infamous all-caps Facebook tirades posted from Amy's Baking Company's page, in which the owners lashed out at critics on Yelp and Reddit.","width":494,"height":766,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/amys-baking-company-pr-scandal/amys-baking-company-pr-scandal-facebook-hacked-fbi-claim.webp","caption":"After the viral outburst, the owners claimed on Facebook that their accounts had been 'hacked' and that they were working with the FBI to investigate.","width":453,"height":444,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/amys-baking-company-pr-scandal/amys-baking-company-pr-scandal-itv-cease-and-desist-letter.webp","caption":"The cease-and-desist letter sent to Amy and Samy Bouzaglo by ITV Studios' legal team, warning them not to publicly disparage Kitchen Nightmares.","width":484,"height":409,"nsfw":false}],"historyUrl":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/amys-baking-company-pr-scandal/history.md","related":["orc-city","alexandria-ocasio-cortez-breakfast-club-dance-video","ed-scarrys-ocasio-cortez-coat-tweet","kendall-jenners-pepsi-ad","stoner-sloth","the-emoji-movie","the-right-is-starting-to-get-better-at-comedy","united-airlines-passenger-removal","gucci-blackface-balaclava-controversy","home-taping-is-killing-music","no-mans-sky","piracy-its-a-crime"],"popularityRank":922,"license":"Meme images and history: templates, screenshots, photos and fan edits, many of copyrighted material or real people.
