May 16, 2014 2:52 PM CUT **Correction appended 1:00 p.m., May 16** Just as a public service, sometimes a press release has to be shared, and this is one of those times. At the May 15 public opening of PUMP Lounge, a new venture from _Real Housewives of Beverly Hills_ star Lisa Vanderpump, something strange happened: according to a press release issued by PUMP’s communications firm, “a deranged customer” had to be chased out of a nearby club onto the street outside the restaurant when he bit three security guards. The press release continues (emphasis ours): --- > “” --- That is all. **Correction:** A previous version of this article misstated the original location from which the deranged customer was chased. He was chased from a club, onto the street outside PUMP Lounge. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/102735/lisa-vanderpump-pump-opening-biter/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/102735/lisa-vanderpump-pump-opening-biter/"},"headline":"Customer Bites Security Guards Near Lisa Vanderpump's New Restaurant","datePublished":"2014-05-16T14:52:10.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T07:53:13.660Z","description":"Police were called — and then everyone ate their desserts","url":"https://time.com/102735/lisa-vanderpump-pump-opening-biter/","keywords":["Pop Culture","celebrities","los angeles","weird"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt910d26b8a3d2da00/69868fd606f2c1782f32eece/pump.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Lily Rothman","jobTitle":"Rothman is managing editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/lily-rothman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt910d26b8a3d2da00/69868fd606f2c1782f32eece/pump.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Lisa Vanderpump","caption":"Lisa Vanderpump","creditText":"David Livingston / Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/pop-culture/","name":"Pop Culture"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/102735/lisa-vanderpump-pump-opening-biter/","name":"Customer Bites Security Guards Near Lisa Vanderpump's New Restaurant"}}]}] ```
