Keith McNally Alleges 'Setup' After Rodents Spotted in NYC's Balthazar

Following a public dispute with Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, restaurateur Keith McNally claims a suspicious incident involving rodents at his Balthazar restaurant was staged.

After a video surfaced showing rodents at Balthazar, owner Keith McNally described the incident as a deliberate 'setup' by an unidentified man.
McNally's allegations come amid a recent public spat with Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, raising suspicions about the timing of the rodent incident.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing a man quickly leave the restaurant after releasing white mice, contradicting the appearance of a darker rodent in the video.
The incident has sparked a wave of online commentary, with some defending Sanchez and others echoing McNally's claims of a setup.
McNally, known for his controversial remarks on social media, has not provided conclusive evidence to support his setup claim.
