[Kristian Laliberte, such an upstanding gay citizen] It started with an angry tweet from social gay Kristian Laliberte, claiming The Georgica Restaurant & Lounge in East Hampton wouldn't kick out a high-rolling patron who allegedly verbally insulted him with an anti-gay tirade. When asked for specifics, Laliberte would not divulge, however, he readily took the opportunity to stump against the use of anti-gay words. The Georgica Management also declined comment, however, thankfully for two anonymous tipsters, we now have the other side of the story...
The First Account:
kristian was at georgica. he walked up to a table where he was not sitting and poured vodka in his glass. the guy who was at the table told kristian to leave the table. kristian got hysterical and started to say "do you know who i am?" the guy said, i don't care who you are this is our table get out of here. as kristian walked away the guy booted kristian in the ass. more of a playful thing then anything harmful.
kristian then went outside and was hysterically crying and threatening to call the police. The door people went inside to see what the problem was and was informed of the situation. Naeem (who is gay) asked the guy to apologize to Kristian to smooth things over, and he said he would. Note that nothing derogatory was said up until this point.
The patron went outside and tried to apologize but at this point Kristian was having none of it. He started to berate the guy, whom again he did not know, saying "you think because you're some spoiled rich kid you can get away with anything." The paying patron attempted to apologize a number of times before he got angry and started to yell at Kristian.
In all honesty, Kristian should have been the one kicked out. You do not go to others tables and scam their alcohol, especially in the Hamptons when bottles start at $700. When you are caught you should apologize and walk away. Kristian tried to play it another way and got caught.
The Second Account:
I was at Georgica and from what I saw Kristian went to the dancefloor area, and he poured champagne out of a customers magnum of champagne for him and his friend. He didn't know the customer, the customer and him got into an argument. The customer must have spent close to $2000 fr his bottle (and then a random person you don't know comes and starts pouring!) I wasn't there for the entire situation, but then Kristian demanded that the customer apologize, the customer apologized and then Kristian said to him "I don't accept your apology". I also heard Kristian didn't pay for his dinner or anything that night.
It appears that Kristian may have overplayed his hand on this one. Freeloading is one thing, but in these hard economic times a social can get only so far on five finger discounts. The only part where these accounts don't add up is whether it was vodka or champagne Laliberte tried to filch. We'll let the readers decide that one.

Hi I was their at the table. Yes, KL came up to the table where me and my friends were sitting. he stood around like he knew one of us. after five mins he a glass and trying to be discreet picked up the Vodka. My friend told him no. from that point my friend in a friendly jesture as to like "see ya" kicked him in the butt. KL was just embarrassed and walked fast out of the area. The black guy did ask for my friend to say sorry. He really didnt want to but he did in fear of not being able to come back again. The rest IDK. it would pretty crazy.

Just like when him and Devorah Rose went on a holiday and scammed the villa into believing they were important people(unruly Heir) and charge it all to Unruly Heir, crashed a car, ran up a huge bill and ditched out. then to come back to nyc and brag. like these broke freeloaders know how to take a holiday like the rest of us. FYI, us blue blood dont brag or get on reality shows. rule book #17. We just enjoy life and let others live through us. Editor and Chief of a circulation of 200 people(in the mid west) your number is almost up.

Anonymous tipsters? Ha ha. Or is this more Scott Bucheit and Naeem Delbridge fabricating or embellising a story in order to have an entry on GuestofaGuest.com? Faux drama is the best way to promote that something actually meaningful is happening at a club in the Hamptons this summer. If you are at a club in the Hamptons ordering bottle service and that is your understanding of "upscale life"---frankly, you are a phucking loser, who did not yet get your own reality show. Kristian is an easy target so knocking him down does not cost you anything. Funny how this piece has much drama but no author. Cowards, all of you.

Thanks for your candor Chris. No author is correct! But, check back for a link where the fake "socials" will be exposed. NYTs did it to GJ a couple years back. well, many names will be exposed. those social gay dudes, girls, partycrashers who create fake stupid blogs just to get into parties and trying to climb the social ladder. the time is going to come for exposure.

Kristian needs to leave this city. HE IS WHO GIVES GAYS A BAD REPUTATION. Crying, being flighty, and then trying to spin it in his favor. What does he even do nowadays? Everytime he is in the news it is for crying and being fat.
