Representatives for Quinto did not answer Monday to The Times’ requests for remark. On social media, the actor posted only about festivities from his 47th birthday more than the weekend, like a vacation to Canada’s Wonderland concept park.
Quinto rode the Drop Tower at the park, wherever he was with his “Brilliant Minds” co-stars Tamberla Perry, Alex MacNicoll and Spence Moore II. The actor has been filming in Toronto considering that the end of March, portraying “revolutionary neurologist” Dr. Oliver Wolf in the new NBC health care drama set to premiere in September.
Celebs performing like prima donnas towards cafe personnel is not nearly anything new. TikTok creator Julia Carolan rated Kylie Jenner’s chilly demeanor towards staff at a higher-close Manhattan cafe a 4/10, and Hailey Bieber apologized publicly right after Carolan claimed she was “not nice” to waiters. James Corden famously was banned for a day from Balthazar, a superior-conclude French restaurant in New York City, right up until he “apologized profusely” to the owner — who experienced previously called him “a little Cretin of a guy.”
But folks have also posted anonymously to Reddit to praise celebrities like Michael B. Jordan and Adam Scott for tipping servers nicely.

We like and regard our little corporations here.”
Some experienced arrived at Quinto’s site looking for a repentant assertion in reaction to the general public backlash. “I definitely cannot hold out for the ‘apology’ article,” a consumer extra, indicating his doubt about the sincerity of any plea for forgiveness.
