Kendall Jenner took to Twitter Tuesday to deny rumors that claim she threw money in a waitress’ face after walking out on her tab, calling the accusations “absolutely ridiculous.”
A source told Page Six that Kendall became upset because “the staff wouldn’t serve her [booze] because she’s underage” while having dinner at Mercer Kitchen on Aug. 4, accompanied by Stephen Baldwin’s daughter, Hailey.
“Kendall and Hailey started laughing,” the witness said. “Kendall took a couple of $20 bills out of her wallet, threw them at the server and walked away, not even counting if it was enough or if it included a tip.”
Blaine Morris, who played Betty Nardone on MTV’s Skins and is a waitress at Mercer Kitchen, immediately took to Twitter to diss on the reality star.
“That horrible moment you chase a kardashian down the street because she forgot to pay her bill to be thrown money in your face,” she tweeted.
these rumors r absolutely ridiculous! I would never throw money in anyone's face or act that disrespectfully. I was raised better than that

Kendall‘s attorney, Marty Singer, reportedly sent Morris a cease-and-desist letter insisting she print an “appropriate retraction and sincere apology” for her allegedly false and defamatory statements, which apparently Morris heeded because the tweet has since been deleted.

Kendall’s mom, Kris Jenner, chimed in to defend her baby as well.
“If anybody knows our little Kendall—our tall Kendall—she’s the most respectful little girl in the world and would never do anything like that,” said Kris. “And once she realized what was going on she absolutely gave the woman the 30 dollars that she owed—or 33 dollars, plus a tip—and felt very horrible about the fact that somebody would do this and create these stories and start spreading things.”

Looks like Morris decided to remember what’s important when she tweeted:
And back to more important things, RIP Robin Williams. You were such an inspiration growing up, you showed everyone how to stay young.
