Zach Erdem, 75 Main restaurant owner and star of ‘Serving The Hamptons,’ has come under fire after being accused of racial profiling.
Erdem allegedly asked Rachel Tucker to move her seat at his Hamptons establishment after telling her he received complaints about her curly hair.
The owner and HBO star, however, is now denying those claims as Tucker is reportedly threatening to take legal action.
Was it all just a misunderstanding?
The Shade Room’s Justin Carter is now getting to the bottom of things on ‘TSR Investigates.’
Rachel Tucker Details Her Claims Against Zach Erdem
According to Carter, Tucker had enjoyed a beach day with her friends in the Hamptons before they decided to visit 75 Main. While there, Tucker and her friends were allegedly asked to move their table. Furthermore, a white family seated nearby allegedly complained about Tucker’s hair being “too big.”
“As soon as I sat down, within five minutes, a man came over to me and said, ‘We have to move you because your hair is too big, and it’s in the way of the table behind you,” Tucker explained to Carter, referring to Erdem.
Ultimately, Tucker and her friends were moved to an outdoor table at the restaurant.
“By the time that I had gotten outside, it had kicked into me what was happening to me and why I was actually being moved. And I think it was just a little shocking that my hair would be an issue in 2024,” Tucker said.
Feeling racially profiled, Tucker told her server she was reluctant to pay the bill for the dinner. In turn, Erdem allegedly threatened to call the cops on her and her friends, and Tucker reluctantly paid for the service.
