So ALLEGEDLY, Brandon Knight’s Mom was treated, um…poorly by Hyatt Regency manager Jeff Westin a few weeks ago before a UK home game. According to the Herald Leader, Turgenia ‘Tonya” Knight sold a couple of her books to friends at the hotel bar and that was BAD. VERY VERY VERY VERY BAD BAD BAD!!!!!! Westin asked(told) Mama Knight not to do that anymore. She said ok, he grabbed(and bruised) her, droppin N-bombs all up in her face. Allegedly.


Bad hotel manager guy. Allegedly. Here’s more from the LHL:


Turgenia “Tonya” Knight, the mother of former University of Kentucky basketball player Brandon Knight, has sued Lexington’s Hyatt Regency Hotel and the hotel’s operations director, Jeff Westin, for discrimination, battery, assault and defamation over an incident alleged to have occurred Jan. 7 at the hotel’s bar.
Brandon Knight now plays for the Detroit Pistons.


In the suit, filed this week in Fayette Circuit Court, Tonya Knight says that Westin attempted to detain her and grabbed her arm, causing a bruise, after telling her she could not sell her book, Diary of a Basketball Mom, on the hotel’s premises. Knight says she went to the bar to socialize with friends before attending a UK game.


Knight, who lives in Lexington, says in the suit that when she pulled away from Westin in an attempt to leave with her friends, he said “that’s the problem with you people.” Knight says when she asked what “people” he was referring to, Westin used the n-word.


“We are aware of this incident. We take the allegations that have been made very seriously, and we are conducting a thorough investigation,” Hyatt Regency general manager Larry Bell said Thursday. “It is premature to comment on our investigation before it is complete. Our hotel values the opportunity of serving UK fans when they attend ball games at Rupp Arena, and we do not take this longstanding tradition lightly.”
