In his latest social media video, food critic Keith Lee says that he’s not okay with threats to him or his family due to his reviews of Atlanta restaurants.
Lee recently wrapped up a tour of Atlanta’s black-owned eateries and caused quite a stir in the dining community. So much so that now he’s saying that threats have been made.
Keith Lee Received ‘Death Threats’ After Restaurant Reviews?
“You can disagree with me or not like what I say. I’m completely fine with that. When my safety and my family’s safety comes into play, that’s where I draw the line,” he says in a new Tik-Tok video.
“I’m going to be 100% transparent and 100% honest. Me and my family will postpone touring if other cities are going to be like this,” he says.
Lee’s most visible scuffle was with The Real Milk & Honey, which apologized after an ill-timed response video.
Radio personality Ryan Cameron posted that, “Keith lee said he and his family received death threats and he will not be returning to Atlanta for a second round of food reviews.”
