New details emerge about William Levy's arrest at this upscale Broward steakhouse
Details are emerging about William Levy's arrest earlier this week in South Florida.
According to a police report from the Broward County Sheriff's Office, cops responded to Baires Grill in Weston, about 45 minutes north of Miami, regarding a problem with a patron at approximately 10 p.m. Monday.
When officers arrived they encountered Levy, who was 'highly intoxicated and causing a disturbance inside the establishment.'
The telenovela star was issued a trespass warning and was told by the manager not to return to the business. Cops also told him to vamoose.
'The arrestee was given multiple verbal orders to leave the property,' reads the complaint.
The affidavit adds that Levy ignored commands and was eventually placed into police custody. The so-called Latin Brad Pitt was transported to Broward County Main Jail, in nearby Fort Lauderdale.
The 44-year-old 'Dancing with the Stars' alum was booked on two charges: disorderly conduct in a public place and trespassing in an occupied structure or conveyance. The father of two was released the following day on $500 bond.
Outside the courthouse, the telenovela hunk told a gaggle of reporters that the reason he re-entered the Argentine eatery was his cellphone was inside. He added the situation never got physical, despite a reporter saying there was a rumor he had 'pushed' someone.
'There are cameras to show [the truth],' he said.
According to People en Español, Levy was at Baires hanging out with parents of his son Christopher's baseball teammates, and invited everyone for a round of drinks. The number of people in the group is unclear.
'When the bill came, I don't know the exact amount, but it was an exorbitant figure,' the source told the outlet. 'He said he wasn't going to pay.'
A scan of the menu at the upscale steakhouse reveals cocktails range in price from $17 to $19. (Their weekday happy hours offer 50 percent from 4-7 p.m.)
After the actor took the matter of the check up with the manager, things escalated, the source added, and police were called.
The source confirmed that the restaurant drama had nothing to do with the Cuban native's ex, Elizabeth Gutierrez.
A year ago, cops responded to Levy's Southwest Ranches home due to a dispute with the telenovela actress. No arrests were made.
Miami Herald police reporter Milena Malaver contributed to this report.

Bad Bunny Says It Is Silly To Complain About His Job
It's fair to say that Bad Bunny is one of the hardest-working music artists in the game right now. Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio went from the barrio to the Billboard charts, becoming one of the first Latin artists to sell out stadiums around the world, even breaking the record for most tickets ever sold in Spain (he's set to perform 12 shows there on his upcoming tour). In a June 18 interview with Variety, the Puerto Rican superstar spoke to his work ethic as a music artist and celebrity. When his comments went viral, the fans were eating it up just as much as his boricua beats. In the interview, discussing his upcoming residency and tour surrounding his sixth studio album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, Benito got real about what's expected of him as he embarks on one of the biggest tours of his career. "At times, I do think, cabrón, what I'm signing up for is a lot," he said. For context, Benito is set to perform a 30-night residency at the Colseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan, not too far from where he grew up from July 11 to Sept. 14, and then he's going on a 56-date world stadium tour from November 2025 to July 2026. Basically, he's booked and busy. "But the way I see it, I'm not a doctor; I'm not a teacher; I'm not someone who has to wake up every morning at 5 a.m. to lay down concrete on a busy road to survive," Benito continued. "My job is to fucking sing, and even though it comes with its own set of sacrifices, it feels silly to complain about it." When Benito's comments on the pressure of fame started to make their rounds on the internet, like in this Reddit thread, a lot of people had something to say about it, many praising the three-time Grammy winner for his honesty. Here are some of my favorite comments. "He's a man who got famous as an adult and has managed to become the hometown hero of Puerto Rico, which he obviously put in the work to deserve. It's not necessarily easy to handle, but you can compare that to what a lot of women and people who start as child stars go through. Good for him that he feels this way about it, but I'm not shocked that it's not a common perspective. If he can avoid the toxicity of overwhelming greed and not chase being a billionaire or whatever, he might actually stay happy," a Reddit user shared. Another Reddit user said, "Finally someone with some common sense. I'm so tired of celebs complaining how hard their job is, having never worked a real job in their lives. Like, sure, the pressure must be a lot and paparazzi and public scrutiny, but that's nothing compared to some annoying boomer manager breathing down your neck 24/7 or a customer having a screaming meltdown over a difference of 28 cents or cleaning up vomit, etc." "I appreciate the humility but the more artists downplay the work they put in the more the public does as well. EVERY job has pros and cons so please remember that. He is lucky to have the job he has but it's not like many of them don't work hard for it. 💙" X user wrote. This Reddit user wrote, "He has the right attitude and a healthy perspective." "Good way of putting it, everything is relative and even with fame and money and privilege you can still stress and be sad and be overwhelmed at times, but still understand and be grateful for what you have," another X user wrote. "I truly wish more celebrities and influencers had enough self-awareness to realize that publicly whining about their privileged lives doesn't hit the way they think it does," another Reddit user added. Finally, this Reddit user said, "It doesn't even sound like he's saying that as a performer you can't have bad days or struggle in/with your career, it more so sounds like he simply thinks it's in poor taste to publicly lament about how hard you have it since it's a highly privileged profession." What do you think about Bad Bunny's take on the pressures of being a famous singer? Let's talk about it in the comments.

Argentina's Kirchner urges backers not to gather as police deploy
Argentine ex-president Cristina Kirchner urged supporters Friday not to gather outside her Buenos Aires apartment, where she is serving a six-year fraud sentence, saying she feared police violence. Kirchner alleged on social media the government had "orchestrated a police operation at the door of my house with the sole purpose of provoking conflicts." She called on her backers, who held a days-long vigil outside her flat, to exercise "wisdom and restraint" and to organize a demonstration planned for Friday elsewhere. AFP witnessed police barriers around the building, with several police trucks stationed nearby. The 72-year-old, convicted of "fraudulent administration" over public works contracts awarded during her 2007-2015 two-term presidency, had an appeal overturned by the Supreme Court last week. The court upheld her sentence and a life ban on holding public office. A different judge allowed Kirchner to serve her sentence at home, which quickly became the scene of solidarity demonstrations. On Wednesday, tens of thousands of people marched on a central square under the banner "Argentina with Cristina." The following day, a judge ruled Kirchner may use her second-floor balcony, under which supporters had been keeping vigil and where she made several brief appearances. A ban on "any behavior that could disturb the peace of the neighborhood" had led to fears she could be confined indoors. Kirchner has challenged limited visitation rights ordered by the court, restricted to family members, doctors and lawyers in what her team described as "a totally arbitrary exclusion regime." There has been speculation Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva could try and visit her when he travels to Buenos Aires for a summit in July. He would have to request a court's permission. sa/dga/ial/lpt/mlr/sms
