You can’t teach an old dog new tricks…and you can’t keep Peter Dante out of the legal limelight.

On Tuesday, video footage obtained by TMZ leaked showing actor Peter Dante going absolutely bonkers on a hostess at Quarters Korean BBQ in L.A.’s Koreatown on Monday night, calling her a “c***” among other explicit obsenities.

Dante, 53, is best known for his 2006 role in Grandma’s Boy and frequently associated with Adam Sandler’s tight-knit group of collaborators alongside David Spade, Kevin James, Rob Schneider, Chris Rock, Steve Buscemi, and Maya Rudolph.

“No Mask, No Entry”

Dante was recognized at Quarters Korean BBQ in downtown Los Angeles, where he entered the establishment without a face mask and was subsequently denied a table due to the restaurant’s “No Mask No Entry” policy and sign visible to all customers entering its doors.

Upon being refused service for not wearing a mask, Dante became angry with the server, calling her many derogatory names, including “garbage” and “c***.”

In the video, you can see Dante get into the face of another staff member and continued to refuse to wear a mask in the establishment. He eventually left the restaurant, with the hostess being close to tears, according to the report.

Dante’s September Arrest

The actor has been no stranger to legal trouble and public controversy over the years, with hostile encounters and vulgar behavior that has characterized Dante has hot-headed, angry, and explosive.

Back in September, Dante made headlines after being arrested following allegations of him threatening to kill his neighbor due to their construction noise – a felony in the state of California.

What’s the Legal?

Under California law, it is illegal to make “criminal threats,” which can involve any threats of violence or harm.

Specifically, California Penal Code Section 422 PC, it must be established that:

(1) The defendant willfully threatened to unlawfully kill or unlawfully cause great bodily injury to another person;

(2) The defendant made the threat orally, in writing or via electronic communication;

(3) The defendant intended that his/her/their statement be understood as a threat;

(4) The threat was so clear, immediate, unconditional, and specific that it communicated to the other person a

(5) Serious intention and the immediate prospect that the threat would be carried out;

(6) The threat actually caused the other person to be in sustained fear for his/her/their own safety or for the safety of his or her immediate family; and

(7) The other person’s fear was reasonable under the circumstances.

In 2013, he was also thrown out of a Los Angeles hotel for making violent threats and yelling out racial slurs.

Since reports of Dante’s first legal drama, the actor has not appeared in any Sandler productions since Grown Ups 2, the 2013 sequel to Grown Ups. We do not have any confirmation on whether there is a direct correlation between Dante’s legal drama and his lack of appearance in any future Sandler works.

Dante has appeared in numerous Adam Sandler/Happy Madison Productions, beginning with the 1998 classic The Wedding Singer followed by The Waterboy (1998), Big Daddy (1999), Little Nicky (2000), Mr. Deeds (2002), and 50 First Dates (2004).
