ATLANTA – When online culinary star Darius “Cooks” Williams conducted a paid event in Atlanta last month, he may have violated various short-term rental restrictions as well as a city code.
This comes one month after a Vrbo homeowner in Texas called the authorities to have Williams removed from her home after she understood what he was truly doing in her home and became aware of what he was doing there.
Williams, who is 40 years old, charges customers in various cities across the country a total of $215 for a seven-course meal that he cooks and serves himself. The price is projected to reach $289 within the next year.
It’s been alleged that the show Dining with Darius’ has given homeowners a heaping serving of heartburn.
Internet celebrity in the food industry When Darius “Cooks” Williams staged a paid event in Atlanta a month ago, he may have violated various rules pertaining to short-term rentals in addition to a local ordinance.
The events are promoted on his various social media profiles, some of which claim to have more than one million followers.
However, consumers who say they did not receive the services or products for which they paid have lodged several complaints against his company, DariusCooks, which is situated in Atlanta.
Some dissatisfied clients of Williams’s posted their complaints about the situation on his social media sites after he ignored their concerns. Williams responded to critics by either barring them or exposing private information online in order to notify his fans. The initial poster would then be inundated with insulting comments from some users.
The Better Business Bureau has assigned the company owned by Williams a grade of F.
At this Vrbo property, a few hours before one of Darius Williams’ Dining with Darius events, we attempted to question Darius Williams and ask him questions. He left without comment and then closed the door.
Williams hosted one of his Dining with Darius events in a home located on Northside Drive in Collier Hills from the 17th to the 22nd of March.
The reservation for the home was made through the vacation rental website Vrbo. The bylaws of the residence at that address prohibit hosting any kind of “events” and cap the number of attendees at eight.
More than that is shown in the videos that participants have uploaded. Williams often sells 30 tickets per event.
When shown a picture of the occurrence, the property manager of the residence, Toby Jackson, said, “Oh wow.” “I arrive ahead of the visitors and stay behind after they leave.”
Did he anticipate having thirty people in the house?
Jackson responded, “No sir,” to the question.
Since the homeowner maintains a job outside of the state, they were not available for comment. Williams stated to the FOX 5 I-Team that he did not violate any rules, but he refused to provide any proof that the homeowner was aware of what he intended to do with the homeowner’s belongings.
Sangria is a beverage that is frequently served to Williams’ paying customers. Home movies taken at one venue show guests dunking their drinks in a communal container made of clear plastic.
Additionally, he has published films in which he demonstrates how he prepares his sangria by combining rosé wine and cognac.
On her way home after the event in Atlanta, one client posted a video of herself slurring her words alongside a graphic that said, “The ‘Red Drank’ Sangria is Kickin in now.”
According to the Atlanta Police Department, a special use permit is required in order to serve alcohol at a paid event. The homeowner of that Collier Hills home did not acquire any.
Williams did not respond to the question asked by the FOX 5 I-Team on whether or not alcohol was given and the reason why he did not obtain the necessary permit.
Williams is “prohibited” from using Airbnb, which is another company that specializes in short-term rentals, according to Airbnb’s confirmation.
This former employee of Darius Cooks claims that he inquired about using her Airbnb account in order to book his upcoming event. In the end, the homeowner sent her a bill for $10,000 to cover the damages.
At the very least, it seems that the ban dates back to 2016. Then, according to a former employee named Nadiya, Williams allegedly contacted her with the idea of using her Airbnb account to book one of his parties. She begged us not to publish her last name in connection with this story.
“During my first week working for him, he said, ‘Wow, I can’t seem to get into my Airbnb. “I have no idea what’s going on,” she recalled saying to herself.
She later admitted that she should not have used her own Airbnb account to make the reservation for the location.
Nadiya expressed her shock when she received an email from Airbnb a week later that stated, “Hey, you owe Airbnb $10,000 since you wrecked this person’s house.”
She informed the homeowner that Williams was to blame, which resulted in her being exempt from financial responsibility for the damages.
If you are the owner of a business and you ruin your reputation on Airbnb, you will not be allowed to get another driver’s license. As Nadiya pointed to herself, she continued, “You have to find another sucker to use their account that’s in good standing in order to continue your company.”
One of the many consumers of Darius Cooks who are unhappy because they were not given the promised refund.
When the owner of a Vrbo listing in Dallas, Texas noticed what Williams was doing with her property in February, she reportedly phoned the police to have him removed.
Without obtaining her consent, she claimed that Williams had “blown the electrical system by hosting a supper in a professional kitchen.”
Williams, however, made sure to go live on Instagram in order to accuse the homeowner of being the real crook in the situation.
He canceled the remaining events in Dallas; however, some of his clients reached out to him online when they didn’t receive the refunds that were promised to them:
“I have had no response from you at all, and there will be no return for the two tickets that I bought. I have lost a total of $430, in addition to a flying ticket.
“How long would it take for me to get a refund for the event in Dallas?”
“He blocked me right away without giving me a chance to answer.”
When a Vrbo owner in Dallas, Texas ordered Williams to be removed from her residence, the owner of the Vrbo put her cell phone information on his website and encouraged his followers to get in touch with Williams. Later, he would brag and say things like, “you made that phone ring!”
Customers who complain that they did not receive the product or service that they paid for should expect a prompt response from the majority of legal businesses.
On the other hand, Darius Williams employs a strategy that no honest business would ever dream of using.
The act of maliciously posting someone else’s private information is referred to as “doxing.” Williams’s response to Danielle Holland’s anonymous criticism of how he dealt with his clients was to tweet photographs of her children. Holland had previously criticized Williams for the way he treated his customers.
She then proceeded to say, “I saw the caption he put: tell Danielle Holland we said hello,” which she had previously seen. The Hollands contacted the authorities and filed a report. Williams’ Twitter feed still has images of her children even after she deleted them.
Williams also made public the cell phone number of the owner of the Dallas residence where he was being forced to leave by the police. The owner had phoned the police to have Williams removed from the property.
He advised those who followed him to give her a call or send her a message.
Williams later boasted in another video that he had posted to his page that the response had been so overwhelming that the authorities had requested him to remove the phone number.
“Baby… when I tell you, you turned the volume up on that phone!” While he was lying in bed applauding the response of his devoted followers, he couldn’t help but giggle.
