Iris star Kate Winslet showed her haughty side at the new West London restaurant Locatelli as she caused a scene over a photograph.

It was behavior even the owner and other patrons thought was completely out-of-line for the star. According to another partygoer, a woman started to take Kate’s picture while she was tasting some spaghetti. The actress flew out of her seat and yelled at the woman incessantly. After chef and owner Giorgio Locatelli tried to calm the situation, Kate’s face turned more red than her locks as she demanded the woman leave.

“Kate was incandescent with rage. Everybody thought she overreacted. Kate just started screaming at this woman that she shouldn’t have taken her picture,” another partygoer said.

No, she should have waited until Kate had a mouthful of spaghetti instead of a “taste.”
