Tommy Leeand his wife,Brittany Furlan,did not have the normal night out they expected when dining at Delmonico, anEmeril’sNew Orleans restaurant on Tuesday.
“It was actually really stupid,” Furlan began in the clip.
“We literally go in there and we sit down and I have a hat on and [Tommy] has a hat on and the waitress, or the host or whatever, goes ‘Yeah you have to take your hat off sir’ and I was like ‘What about my hat?’ and she’s like ‘Your hats fine but he has to take his off,'” she told TMZ, adding that Lee was wearing a “regular” baseball cap.
“So [Tommy] was like ‘Oh, what the f—’ and took it off and put it on his lap, and then this guy comes up to our table — we have no problem, the hat’s off everything’s cool — and is like ‘Excuse me, I heard you use profanity.'”

Lee then chimed in and explained that the guy said, “‘You’re going to have to leave,'” adding that he was running out of patience at that point. “I’m like ‘You know what, F— you, we’re leaving.”
Furlan clarified that the musician did not curse at anybody when asked to remove his hat and that he muffled the curse word to himself while doing so.
“We don’t want to be in some stuffy-ass place where they’re like ‘Take your hat off,'” Furlan concluded.
Before speaking with the outlet, Lee directly tweeted his frustrations at Emeril Lagasse, the restaurant owner.
“Hey @Emeril, I just was at your restaurant in New Orleans and was aggressively asked to leave because I was upset about removing my hat. I removed it and they still came up to the table and gave me a hard time. Wtf dude????” he wrote.
Emeril’s restaurant told PEOPLE that Lee made his own decision to leave after being “kindly asked” to “remove his hat.”
A rep for Lee did not respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
