Ranting chef Gordon Ramsay has filed suit against his wife’s entire family — or so it seems.
Over the weekend, details emerged about the extraordinary legal assault Ramsay filed late Friday in London against his wife’s father, mother, sister, brother, brother’s wife as well as the father’s reported mistress.
And the suit has the apparent approval of Ramsay’s wife, Tana, who has taken her chef husband’s side in the bitter blood feud that has captivated England for more than a year now.
The suit charges that Chris Hutcheson, Ramsay’s father-in-law and former business partner, headed a family conspiracy to hack his personal and business e-mails.
The hacking originated on computers belonging to various family members of Hutcheson’s, which was why all were named in the suit.
Hutcheson, who guided Ramsay’s company for 12 years, was abruptly fired in 2009 amid accusations that he had bilked the firm of nearly $2 million.
Later, it became known that the father-in-law had been keeping a secret, second family — including two grown, out-of-wedlock kids — using checks drawn on company funds he made out to himself.
