‘TOP CHEF’ PRODUCER: Padma Lakshmi was threatened, called racist names by Teamsters.

Four Teamsters members acted like real bottom-feeders toward “Top Chef” star Padma Lakshmi, her producer testified in court.

Show runner Ellie Carbajal said in Boston federal court on Wednesday that Teamsters Union members physically threatened the reality show’s crew and hurled racist insults at Lakshmi while they were picketing a 2014 shoot, leaving her “paralyzed with fear.”

Carbajal recalled the members of Teamsters Union Local 25 — John Fidler, Daniel Redmond, Robert Cafarelli and Michael Ross — swarming Lakshmi’s car and growling at her in 2014, Deadline reported.

Why are Democrat-run institutions such cesspits of violent, racist rhetoric?
