If you thought Rep. Katie Porter wasn’t holding back when she wielded her whiteboard … then get a load of her Yelp account.
In old Yelp reviews, the former Congresswoman tore into a masseuse, a taxi firm and a pizza shop … according to THE Material.
Porter blasted Massage Heights in Sherman Oaks, CA back in 2017, claiming they treated their employees like crap.
She wrote … “If you want consistent good service, and want to patronize a place that treats employees with respect, I would never recommend this.”
In 2013, Porter ordered from Tony Pepperoni Pizzeria … and slammed them for long delivery times.
She said she was told the pizza would take 35-40 minutes, but the 40-minute mark came and went … so she gave them a call. According to Porter’s Yelp review, the shop said the driver was on the way.
At the 52-minute mark, she called again and claimed she was told the driver would call her … but didn’t. Porter wrote … “Pizza was decent when it arrived. But allow ample ample time.”
The politician also tore into Irvine Yellow Cab, according to the alleged account. Katie claimed she had booked a cab for 6 a.m. before a flight, making the reservation the night before.
But by 6:03 a.m., she says there was still no cab. When Porter called, she claims she was told the car was 5 minutes away.
After another 25 minutes and a lot of back-and-forth with the cab company, Katie said she had to frantically drive her and her 3 kids to the airport … because the cab never came.
She alleged it wasn’t until she was parked at the airport that a driver said he was almost at her house. She wrote … “Ludicrous! I would have missed my flight but for it being delayed. I will never use this company again.”
Porter didn’t deny the reviews when confronted by the California Posttelling the outlet on Thursday … “The Yelp reviews are what they are.”
And she wasn’t the only politician who got a little heated on the review site. CA Senator Alex Padilla reportedly went off on a hair stylist his son once had at Great Clips in Northridge.
He reportedly wrote … “JESSICA, the stylist my son was assigned to, had a very bad attitude, was impatient with my son, who is a pretty easy child, and she clearly does not know how to cut hair. I do not recommend you let Jessica cut your hair or your child’s hair. And I hope she gets more training.”
This supposedly went down in September 2018, when Padilla was serving as California’s 32nd secretary of state.
