Olive Garden Incident: Difference between revisions

The '''Olive Garden Incident''' was an incident that occurred on [[December 10th Incident|December 10]], 2023, wherein [[Daniel Larson|Daniel]] livestreamed a meltdown he was having in a Denver Olive Garden.     

Daniel, under a [[management|manager-fed]] [[delusions|delusion]], attempted to get him, [[Grace VanderWaal]], and other celebrities he was allegedly in contact with, a reservation at an Olive Garden in Denver. Daniel would be subsequently trespassed from the establishment after repeatedly being told not to film inside, causing a scene inside the restaurant when confronted, yelling expletives at the staff, attempting to perform a citizens arrest on everyone inside, and most notably, alleging the manager was '''printing out his nudes''' as well as '''pulling the fire alarm''' at the prompt of his chat, which caused the fire department to come and deal with his antics.     

Coincidentally, this incident occurred on the one-year anniversary of [[December 10th Incident|one of Daniel’s most infamous meltdowns.]] More interestingly, This incident gained viral TikTok attention, as Noah Glenn Carter (a TikToker with 8 million followers) made a TikTok video about it.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/18g7xc7/noah_glenn_carter_is_a_larsonist_now/</ref>

This incident was the matter of the [[March 19th Arrest|March 19]] and [[April 2nd Arrest|April 2 arrests]]. Many speculated that Daniel's arrest on the [[Jail Arc|30th of April]] was in regard to missing a court date that pertained to this incident. However, it was unrelated to the charges he got for that arrest.

Daniel: Yep, I can confirm. Okay, yep, FBI vehicles are here. I see them outside, alright.  

[video cuts to later, he flips the camera]

In the beginning of the live stream, Daniel is seen seated at a table in a Denver, Colorado Olive Garden, where the subsequent incident would take place. Daniel came to the Olive Garden in the hopes of meeting up with his long-time victim of stalking, [[Grace VanderWaal]], her family, Daniel McDougal, and other supposed celebrities. Trolls pretending to be Grace had previously manipulated Daniel into meeting up in the past, and this incident was one of them.

When inside, Daniel asked for a table for eight, which he surprisingly managed to obtain without any issue. According to an Olive Garden worker who posted to the r/Daniellarson Subreddit, the staff was not happy about this, as it caused a loss in revenue for the restaurant.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/18fn5pp/worst_picture_ever_but/</ref>

Even though Daniel was seated, he refused to order any food until Grace, or anyone else, came to meet him. When a waiter came to tend to Daniel, he immediately started to ask if the Olive Garden had steak, showing a complete lack of knowledge of money management at all, which he exhibited in the past. It is also plausible that Daniel expected them to pay. However, when told he could only have a side order of it, he said to the waiter, "Um... give me a second, let me make a phone call and let me double-check, and we'll go from there," referring to the [[trolls]] pretending to be Grace and her family.   

Every so often, Daniel is approached by workers at the Olive Garden, being politely asked to stop filming. Daniel claimed he could not stop because LBI Entertainment did not want him to stop.  

The employee then makes Daniel aware that, "...they're blowing our phones up", referring to the restaurant receiving multiple phone calls from people claiming that Daniel was breaking objects, along with warnings that that Daniel was going to dine and dash. Daniel was then asked to stop filming again, being told that the restaurant was a private establishment that did not allow filming. He was then told that they would not allow him to buy any more food until there was proof of people showing up, as there was none.

Over the course of the live stream, Daniel began to claim that members of his security team, Tina VanderWaal and Rick Yorn, alerted him that the workers at the restaurant were "compromised" and might put their hands onto him, and more importantly, that the manager of that Olive Garden had leaked his location and was printing out his '''nude photos''' that she had found on a "[[R/Daniellarson|troll website]]." In a fit of hysteria, Daniel posted a photo of who he claimed to be Grace VanderWaal, who was being arrested in the parking lot. This was found to be photo that was, in fact, not Grace, but a photo from Google Images, taken years ago, and in Australia.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/18fjr4e/grace_got_asolted/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/18fmivw/lmao_they_really_just_sent_him_the_first_result/</ref> It begs the question as to why Daniel never went into the parking lot to see Grace, the girl he apparently loves, in person, but we will never receive an answer to this.  

In the heat of the moment, Daniel then confronted an employee about his suspicions, claiming that the FBI was is in the parking lot, and was working with the Olive Garden company to fire the head manager.   

The employee encourages Daniel to have the FBI come in, as another employee attempted to convince Daniel that there is no manager committing a cyberattack on Daniel, however the attempt is unsuccessful and Daniel continues to mouth off at the staff inside.   

Daniel then proceeds to sit at a table for over a half an hour, waiting for the FBI, while not purchasing any food and holding up a table anyone else waiting could potentially use. Daniel then claims that his management is sending images of the police attacking Grace. He proceeds to run to the lobby of the building, where he confronts multiple employees, to which he is told to calm down, mainly on account of the fact that Daniel was yelling expletives at the staff, and yelling about nude photographs of himself being printed where children were eating with their families.   

During the confrontation, Daniel attempts to perform a citizen's arrest on all the staff members, with the intention of holding every single staff member at the Olive Garden there, up until the FBI and/or police arrived. Daniel then singles out an employee, alleging that she was the so-called manager culprit who had been "cyber-attacking" him.

Daniel begins harassing the employee about the legitimacy of the police. After loitering in the lobby for a few more minutes, Daniel dashes towards the fire alarm, and pulls it. An employee attempted to stop Daniel, but Daniel was successful in setting off the alarm. In the same Reddit post made by an employee of the Olive Garden, they state that, if anything, everyone was just merely confused as to why the fire alarm went off.
