- That’s So Raven actor, 36, was seen scolding an employee at a luxury restaurant
- He made an awkward scene at an upscale eatery before being sent away
- Brown appeared in 100 episodes of That’s So Raven from 2003 to 2007
That’s So Raven actor Orlando Brown was ejected from Los Angeles restaurant TAO on Sunday night after a bizarre incident involving an employee of the upscale eatery.
The 36-year-old Los Angeles native was caught on camera in a clip initially published on TMZ Monday, in which he berated an employee of the high-volume restaurant in a profane tirade, drawing the attention of other diners.
Brown, who played Eddie Thomas in 100 episodes of That’s So Raven between 2003 and 2007, was seen using his iPhone as he recorded the interactions in the clip.
Brown’s outburst – who has made headlines in the past for problematic behavior – led to security guards leading him away from his table and out of the restaurant.
Diners at the establishment on Sunday told TMZ that the trouble started when Brown “yelled at other customers” and that he “walked away” toward restaurant staff who tried to calm him down.

In the clip published on the website, Brown called an employee a nasty name and compared the person’s appearance to late ’80s serial killer Richard “The Night Stalker” Ramirez.
“Get behind me Satan – I am Jesus – get away, Satan!” Brown told the employee.
While being thrown out of the restaurant, Brown took cues from Al Pacino’s Tony Montana character in Scarface, causing a stir as he caught the attention of the crowded restaurant.
“Everyone enjoy your evening, I’m sorry I ruined you, my name is Orlando Brown, I’m the son of Satan and Lucifer – f*** everyone!” he said.
Brown has made more headlines in recent years with his off-camera actions than before, as he has faced numerous arrests, prison sentences and rehab.
In February 2023, an attorney for the former Disney actor asked a court for a mental health examination that could open the door to an insanity plea in a domestic violence case he was facing following an arrest in December 2022 in Ohio.
Brown faced legal trouble in 2016, being accused of assaulting a woman he was allegedly dating in a parking lot in Torrance, California.
After missing a hearing on the case, a warrant was issued for his arrest, and he was taken into custody twice later that year for incidents arising from the aforementioned accusation and legal ramifications.

A wave of disturbing incidents has put a brake on the once promising career Brown started as a child star in the 1990s.
He faced further legal trouble in September 2018 after he was arrested at a Las Vegas restaurant on burglary charges.
The series of incidents has put a damper on a once-promising career Brown began as a child star in the 1990s, with appearances in films like Major Payne and A Walton Easter, and shows like The Wayans Bros.; Sister, sister and family matters.
In 2016, his character was recast in a reboot of That’s So Raven, amid the wave of controversy he had garnered.
