Daniel asked for a table of eight, which he obtained, and waited for over two hours. After repeatedly being told not to film inside, he caused a scene inside the restaurant when confronted, yelled expletives at the staff, attempted to perform a citizens arrest on everyone inside, and most notably, alleged the manager was '''printing out his nudes'''. Additionally, he '''pulled the fire alarm''' at the prompt of his chat, which caused the fire department to come and deal with his antics. He was given a citation for pulling the fire alarm. | ||

Prior to the incident, Robin, a troll impersonating Rick Yorn, told Daniel that the VanderWaal family was in Denver and was | Prior to the incident, Robin, a troll impersonating Rick Yorn, told Daniel that the VanderWaal family was in Denver and was interested in meeting him for dinner. At the start 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, and other supposed celebrities. Trolls pretending to be Grace had previously deceived Daniel into meeting up in the past, and this incident was one of them. Robin, while impersonating Rick Yorn, demanded Daniel to get a table of six once inside and pre-order them all steak. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9WsS2ysEgo&pp=ygUQdGhlIGxhcnNvbiBmaWxlcw%3D%3D</ref> | ||

According to an Olive Garden worker who posted to the r/Daniellarson Subreddit, the staff was not happy about this, as it resulted in lost revenue for the restaurant.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/18fn5pp/worst_picture_ever_but/</ref> | ||

Despite being seated, Daniel refused to order any food until Grace, or anyone else arrived. When a waiter came to tend to Daniel, he immediately started to ask if the Olive Garden served steak, showing a complete lack of knowledge of money management at all, which he exhibited in the past. Daniel also expected them to pay. This demand was made by Robin, who pressured him to pre-order steak for the entire party. Although steak was not available on the menu, trolls continued to coerce him to order it. The staff suggested that he order the Zuppa toscana, which contained Italian sausage instead of steak and was already pre-made, and was told that steak was only available as a side order. Daniel then asked the server for additional time, as he needed to confirm with a phone call, referring to the [[trolls]] pretending to be Grace and her family. The trolls continued to manipulate Daniel to order the steaks and take a picture for evidence, with threats that law enforcement would be involved if he did not comply, even gaslighting him into making an apology video, which he did so on another livestream. Daniel obeyed Robin's orders, believing that it would save his relationship with Grace. | |||

Daniel claimed he could not stop because LBI Entertainment did not want him to stop. The employees became suspicious, as Daniel had been sitting at a table alone for over two hours without ordering any food. | ||
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 again asked to stop filming, being told that the restaurant was private property and that filming was prohibited. He was then told that they would not allow him to buy any more food until there was proof of his party arriving, as nobody showed up. | ||
Even when told this, Daniel refused to stop filming, following up by saying that the FBI was here and coming to dinner with him, and was going to sort out the situation. The manager proceeded to leave, presumably after realizing she could not talk any sort of sense into Daniel. | Even when told this, Daniel refused to stop filming, following up by saying that the FBI was here and coming to dinner with him, and was going to sort out the situation.

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 was revealed that Robin and the trolls convinced Daniel that Grace was being arrested in the parking lot. 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. | 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]]."

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, after being told to do so by trolls, 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. | During the confrontation, after being told to do so by trolls, 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.
