Iris Law Denies Allegations of Misbehavior in New York Restaurant, Calls it ‘Fake News’
In a recent incident that has gone viral on social media, Iris Law, the 24-year-old daughter of actor Jude Law and 1990s It girl Sadie Frost, has been accused of throwing a tantrum in a New York restaurant. According to Madison Tayt, a waitress at the establishment, Iris allegedly became upset over the dessert menu, refused to pay the full bill, and even brought up her father’s name in a confrontational manner. However, Iris has strongly denied these claims, calling them "literally a fan fiction story" and emphasizing that the entire situation is based on lies.
The accusations surfaced after Madison Tayt shared her version of events on social media, claiming that Iris had a meltdown, screamed at staff, and refused to settle the bill in full. Tayt even went so far as to describe Iris as "mean spirited, doesn’t pay her check, do you know who my father is, ass b***h." These allegations quickly gained traction online, with the post receiving over 32.8 million views. Iris, who recently walked the catwalk for Versace at Milan Fashion Week, has been forced to defend herself against the backlash.
In response to the viral allegations, Iris took to social media to address the situation. She denied any wrongdoing, stating that the story was completely fabricated. She expressed frustration over the fact that a false narrative had gained so much attention, saying, "Someone has just made up a complete lie and now it is going viral. I literally didn’t do this, and now everyone believes it." Iris also admitted to having a meltdown of her own—though not in the restaurant—but rather over the stress of dealing with the false accusations. "It’s 2am and I have literally been having a meltdown about this because now everyone thinks I’m horrible," she shared. Despite her efforts to clear her name, Iris has since deleted her social media account, possibly to avoid further public scrutiny.
This is not the first time Madison Tayt has been involved in a viral restaurant dispute. In March 2023, she made headlines after slamming European diners for tipping her only $70 on a $700 bill, despite complimenting her service. Her history of public feuds has led some to question the credibility of her accusations against Iris. Meanwhile, Iris has received support from some who believe her denial, with one social media user noting that Jude Law, Iris’s father, has a reputation for being friendly and polite in public. "It’s wild that she’s saying ‘do you know who my father is’ because he’d be appalled by that," the user wrote. "I know multiple people who’ve served him in London, and he’s always been lovely."
The incident has sparked a wider conversation about the impact of viral social media stories and the ease with which false information can spread. Iris’s situation highlights the challenges faced by public figures, who often find themselves at the mercy of unverified claims that can damage their reputation overnight. While Iris has denied the allegations, the damage may already be done, as many people have already formed opinions based on the initial accusations. The Mail on Sunday has reached out to both Iris and Madison Tayt for further comment, but neither has responded at the time of writing.
In conclusion, the dispute between Iris Law and Madison Tayt serves as a reminder of the pitfalls of modern-day social media, where accusations can go viral in minutes, often without being substantiated. While Iris maintains her innocence, the incident underscores the importance of verifying information before jumping to conclusions. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how this will affect Iris’s career and public image in the long run. For now, she remains adamant that the whole ordeal is nothing more than a fabricated story.
