A spokesperson for the Olive Garden parent company, Darden Restaurants, denied that it sent a cease-and-desist letter to a Seinfeld parody account on Friday.
The apparently fake letter demanded that the account @Seinfeld2000 remove an earlier tweet that said, “respect to Olive Garden for no longer selling AR-15s at all their locations.”
It asserts: “Olive Garden has spent years building its reputation as a family friendly restaurant that is safe for all patrons to dine in,” and accuses the parody account of “spreading false, destructive and defamatory rumors.”
“Our legal team has not been in contact with this individual or sent them the message that was posted,” a Darden Restaurants spokesperson told Business Insider in an email on Friday.
