Update: Drunk Mac and Cheese Kid Issues a Cheesy Apology

Luke Gatti has posted an apology on Youtube in response to the viral video of him profanely accosting a UConn employee over bacon-jalapeño mac and cheese. The video, which he titled “Drunk UConn Student Apology Mac and Cheese,” has already been viewed over 150,000 times and begins with Gatti apologizing to those that he mistreated–especially the manager he verbally and physically assaulted. Gatti said, “He was just doing his job. He gave me so many chances to walk away. And I didn’t listen to him. No one deserves to be treated that way, like ever.”

Gatti called the incident a “wake up call” and attempted to humble himself by also apologizing to the university student body and his friends and family. Unfortunately the apology came off very insincere and rehearsed, particularly when Gatti began to smirk when discussing all of the mac and cheese he’s been sent. Gatti said, “To all those who want to send donations of mac and cheese to me, please just send it to your local food pantry,” he said. “There’s a lot of hungry people out there.”

A GoFundMe.com page was also set up by UConn freshman Sadie Rumsey to thank the Union Street Market staff by treating them to a “nice night out.” The fundraiser has already doubled its goal, receiving over $2,000 in four days. People can still donate by clicking here.

According to the Hartford Courant, Gatti is scheduled to be arraigned in Superior Court in Rockville on Tuesday on charges of second-degree breach of peace and criminal trespass in connection with the incident, but his family has filed a continuance.

It’s also been reported that this isn’t his first run in with the law. Gatti was previously a student at the University of Massachusetts, where he was arrested twice last year on disorderly conduct charges. The Hartford Courant writes, “During one of those arrests, he was accused of using a racial slur against a police officer, court filings show.”

Based on this we are still in agreement that this kid sucks.
