Is this how Villa Blanca treat its customer ?
This is who I am and this is my story...
I was assaulted by restaurant manager at Villa Blanca on 8/18/2010 attending Honoring the Media Red Carpet Event, and here's the story.
..."I was enjoying a cocktail with some friends on the patio at Villa
Blanca. We were relatively close to the red carpet taking photos as I
unfortunately stepped just outside the entrance to the patio. I was
immediately yelled at by the manager as the drink was literally swiped
out of my hand. He then told me I could pick it up at the bar only to
find out he had poured it out. So I approached him and said he should
not be rude and I would like my drink replaced. Then he lost his cool,
began yelling again, and insisted that I leave immediately or he would
call the police. As several people witnessed, he actually assaulted me
and forcefully grabbed me by the arm and pulled me towards the door. I
had to pull away and get the help of onlookers to get him to stop
berating me."
Is his behavior excusable? Is this the behavior of a high class Beverly Hills restaurant coming from the manager himself? I do not think so. His physical contact with force was not excusable nor reasonable nor necessary, and most importantly - illegal. I am not only emotionally harassed but also physically harassed. I'd like to bring justice to light and share my story, especially to those friends who also attended the event that night, notably the following...
Andre Cohen Fotography, David Harrison Levi STARMAKER, Carter Alan Taylor, Jake Weinheimer, Brandy Sanders, Kierrah Foundation.
Event: 1st Annual All Media Gala
Date: Aug. 13th
Location: Villa Blanca Beverly Hills Restaurant | 9601 Brighton Way, Beverly Hills, CA

What's not "said" is this. "You're not a local, so you don't belong here."
What's said is this. "There's been 20 girls who's done this to me all night, and I'm just trying to do my job."
Event starting hour is 8pm, my arrival is 11.20pm, incident occurred around mid-night.
Now, should I take a legal action and what should I know? Thank you.
