A VIRAL TikTok clip shows a woman’s boyfriend furiously storming Salt Bae’s restaurant in Boston after the restaurateur was caught filming her twerking.
The viral TikTok video shared on Sunday captured the blow-up at the Instagram star’s new Nusr-Et restaurant in Massachusetts.
In the clip, Salt Bae appears to film the woman as she’s dancing while a man outside the restaurant bangs on the glass door, which a waiter then opens.
The woman catches a glimpse of the man and moves away before he suddenly storms into the restaurant and angrily approaches her, questioning her on what she was doing.
“What the f**k you doing?” the man repeatedly shouts at her.
Several social media users expressed concern for the young woman’s safety because of the man’s aggressive behavior.
It’s not clear what happened after the video, which has since amassed more than 3.5million views on TikTok and thousands more on Twitter.
However, the clip went viral because of Salt Bae’s appearance, as he’s seen smiling and filming the video from the sidelines as the altercation happened.
Salt Bae, whose real name is Nusret Gökçe, is a Turkish chef who owns a chain of steakhouses called Nusr-Et.
His claim to internet fame happened back in 2017, when a video of him expertly slicing meat and flamboyantly sprinkling salt in his signature style went viral.
The image of him sprinkling salt immediately became a meme, and Gökçe thereafter became known as Salt Bae. His newfound internet success helped him gain 30 million Instagram followers.
The viral TikTok isn’t the first instance when the newly-opened Boston outpost faced controversy.
Gökçe’s Boston restaurant was shut down days after opening on September 18 for several health and safety violations, which inspectors found on opening day and on September 23.
Not only did the restaurant fail to adhere to coronavirus guidelines, the restaurant also skirted fire and health regulations, in addition to equipment violations. The eatery opened without a permit and had no proof of an on-site food protection manager.
All but one of the violations were fixed by the next day. The remaining violation involved dishwashers not being fitted with temperature measuring devices.
