“You're being rude”- SNL star Chloe Fineman calls out ritzy New York restaurant manager over humiliating experience

Chloe Fineman, member of the Saturday Night Live (SNL) cast, recently called out a high-end New York City restaurant. The actress, known for her celebrity impressions, shared a TikTok video, explaining the uncomfortable experience she had. The clip was captioned as "Chaotic Story Time" and her sister Emma Fineman was seen beside her in the video.

With Saturday Night Live on break, Chloe Fineman had her day free to explore the city. She spent the day visiting the Met and taking part in an Alo Pilates class, describing the experience as "very New York." Later, Fineman and her company ended up in Uptown Manhattan, where she noted they struggled to find food.

“I was like, I guess we could go to Sant Ambroeus, and so we walk in and they're like, "Oh, yes. Right this way. Right this way," they say.” she explained.

“So I walk into a room, there's several empty tables and I sit down and then I look up and it's Pilaf Little Mouse,” Chloe Fineman continued.

Pilaf Little Mouse is a white and brown, long-haired Chihuahua owned by American actress Demi Moore. While the actress owns several dogs, she expressed Pilaf held a special place in her heart, in a report shared by Vogue on August 14, 2024. She had explained that Pilaf was meant to be with her, and she was meant to be with Pilaf.

Fineman said she recognized the Indecent Proposal actress and said her Hi to Demi Moore.

"We've met once or twice and I've held Pilaf, because Pilaf was backstage at an SNL show, and I was like, you know, just talking, and then... [She] said 'hi' back," she explained.

The reason Chloe Fineman felt humiliated

Chloe Fineman later added that the restaurant manager interrupted them.

“I don't know, maybe I had no makeup on, I don't know. Did I not look legitimate enough for the empty room of Sant Ambroeus?” she expressed rhetorically.

Fineman, who previously appeared in movies like Babylon and Megalopolis, explained that the manager approached her and asked,

"What are you doing here? Ma'am, come, come with me right now."

She expressed that she had not been aware she needed to check in with another staff member before being seated, despite the room being largely empty.

"Even though there's like a thousand empty tables. It was very confusing," she said.

Fineman added that she tried to ease tensions, telling the manager,

"Calm down. I'm not nobody. I'm on SNL."

"Go off, diva," Emma laughed, as Fineman continued her story.

"He was like, 'I don't care who you are, I treat everybody the same. You have to talk to me first!'" Chloe Fineman recalled.

"And I was like, okay, 'You're being rude,' and he's like, 'You're being rude.'"

Chloe Fineman then acknowledged that a version of herself she didn’t particularly like had started to surface, leading her to step away before things escalated.

"You could call it a Karen, I also call it living in New York and everyone is, like, rude as f**k, I call it the I'm not nobody" said Fineman.

"All I did was say "hi" to Pilaf Little Mouse,"Fineman expreesed at the end of the clip.
