Sienna Miller Makes Waves Again
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ―
Just days ago, actress Sienna Miller apologized for bad-mouthing Pittsburgh.
In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, she changed the city's name in a rather unkind way -- replacing the "P" in Pittsburgh with an "SH".
And now, she's making waves again.
KDKA's Stephanie Watson reports that Pittsburghers can be forgiving, but dipping into that generosity twice may be asking too much-- even for Sienna Miller.
"She stepped back and looked up at the Folino's sign and said 'I'm going to put down Folino's as the worst place and Pittsburgh people aren't anything.'," said Folino's doorman Dan Kovacs.
That's just some of what Miller is accused of saying.
For the second time in less than a week, Miller has angered Pittsburghers while still filming a movie here about our city.
This time, it started Saturday night at Folino's on East Carson Street on the South Side.
Kovacs recounted how the scene unfolded: "Madam, you're going to need an I.D. to get in here. She says 'Do you know who I am' and I said no but you're going to need your I.D."
Kovacs tried to explain that no one gets in without an I.D. for a second time after Miller snuck in with her parents anyway.
That's when he says she become belligerent.
"She said 'I'm Sienna Miller the actress' and I said I'm Dan Kovacs and I'm for real," said Kovacs. "She says 'I don't care.' She was just really belligerent. I was shocked."
Miller made a public apology just last week with Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl.
She said that the comment she made in Rolling Stone was simply taken out of context.
However, for some Pittsburghers, no public apology will fix round two of her trashing talking.
"I think its really wrong," said Veronica Adamson of Pittsburgh. "I don't know how she gets away with it. I saw her apologize with the mayor once but twice is just unforgivable.'"
Nancy Gottlieb of Squirrel Hill would like to go one step further.
She said, "I think Sienna Miller is a bubble head and she should be thrown out of Pittsburgh and never allowed back. I will not watch the movie."
Meanwhile, the employees at Folino's are not giving her break either.
They are now in the process of making t-shirt that take another dig at the actress antics while she was in the establishment.
