Several months ago, in the heat of the tense divorce negotiations between Bobby Flay and Stephanie March, Flay got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It was a big moment, and what could have been a pleasantly memorable moment for the “celebrity chef” was quickly ruined. Ruined by a plane flying overhead with a giant “CHEATER” banner. The plane was perfectly timed for Flay’s ceremony and most people believe that it was aimed at Flay and his wandering eye. March believed (with good reason) that Flay had multiple affairs during their 10-year marriage and most people assumed that March or her lawyers were behind the CHEATER plane banner.
Skip ahead to right now and March walked away with her settlement (she successfully broke the prenup and got an undisclosed amount from Flay) and Flay’s reputation didn’t take a huge hit. But the stunts have not stopped.
Celebrity chef Bobby Flay has been mortified yet again by “cheater” protesters at one of his events. Topless female demonstrators with red letter “X”‘s over their breasts and the word “cheater” painted on their chests caused a ruckus Saturday at “Brunch at Bobby’s with Bobby Flay,” part of the New York City Wine and Food Festival, sources tell InTouch exclusively.

Flay, 50, divorced his third wife Stephanie March in April and has been dogged bycheating rumors ever since.
“The rumor is that Flay is being targeted in these protests by a fundamentalist group from Oklahoma ever since all the cheating allegations from his divorce surfaced,” sources tell InTouch.
In June, 50-year-old Flay became the first celeb chef to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but a plane flying overhead with a trailing red “CHEATER” banner all but ruined the festivities. That protester interrupted Flay as he was giving a speech at the ceremony, attended by both his 19-year-old daughter Sophie Flay and mom Dorothy. The Walk of Fame appearance marked the first time the Food Network star and Iron Chef had been seen in public since his bitter divorce from March.
A fundamentalist group out of Oklahoma? WTF? While I have no doubt that there are probably some people or some groups who take issue with Flay’s reputation as a cheater, I can’t see why or how a group like that would, you know, come to Hollywood to interrupt his Walk of Fame ceremony or travel to NYC just to go topless at the Wine & Food Festival. Topless “cheater” ladies are not very fundamentalist, you know? It seems more like Stephanie March just has a grudge. And it’s funny/petty/glorious/immature.
