Lacy explains he misunderstood Japan restaurant bill due to language barrier
The Twitch streamer admitted he believed he owed $12,000 but later learned he only had to pay for extra food already prepared.
Twitch streamer Nick Lacy has explained the controversy surrounding his reported $12,000 restaurant bill in Japan. In a post on X on October 29, Lacy said a language barrier made him believe he had to pay the entire amount, though he later learned he only had to cover the extra food that had already been prepared.
Lacy said he initially told the restaurant he would cover the $12,000 and asked staff to give the extra food to families. He left his assistant to handle the situation so he could return to streaming. When he came back online, still believing he owed the full amount, he started talking about the incident and joking about it with viewers.
Lacy admitted he should have corrected his story after learning what actually happened. He said he thought the situation was funny and never expected his comments to spread widely online.
The streamer apologized to the restaurant for the unwanted attention it received. He said he was not concerned about hate directed at him but was worried about the effect his statements could have on the restaurant, adding he never had bad intentions or intended for the restaurant to receive any hate.
