Gordon Ramsay’S Bel Air Pad Hit By Swatters Again – Bogus ‘Black Revolver’ Shooting Claim Rocks La

Swatting Strikes Again at Ramsay’s Bel Air Hotspot

Yo, LA, we’ve got some wild Hollywood-adjacent drama cooking up in Bel Air! Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, the fiery king of the kitchen, found himself in the middle of another dangerous swatting incident on Monday evening. Around 8 PM, the Los Angeles Police Department rolled up to his swanky mansion in one of LA’s most exclusive hoods after a fake 911 call sent them into high alert.

Luckily, there was no real emergency to chop up when officers arrived at the property. Ramsay wasn’t even home - word is he was out of the country, probably whipping up some Michelin-star magic elsewhere. Instead, cops chatted with a personal assistant who was holding down the fort at the chef’s SoCal digs.

This ain’t the first time Ramsay’s crib has been targeted by these reckless pranks in 2025, and the details of this latest call are straight-up chilling. According to sources spilling to TMZ, the caller claimed he’d ‘shot his brother’ - described as a chef - and his nephew, while packing a ‘black revolver.’ They even tossed in a fake story about being on heroin and refusing to bounce, just to crank the threat level to 11.

Deja Vu: Ramsay’s April Swatting Scare

Flashback to April 2025, and it’s like we’re watching a rerun of a bad reality show. Ramsay’s Bel Air pad got hit with a nearly identical swatting attack around 8:40 PM, when an anonymous caller reported a gunman blasting away at the mansion. LAPD showed up ready for action, only to find zero chaos - even the neighbors confirmed it was all quiet on the western front.

Just like this week, the chef was nowhere near home during that April fiasco. Police quickly clocked both incidents as classic swatting - you know, those dangerous hoaxes where someone dials up a fake emergency to send a full-blown SWAT team storming in. Detectives are digging into both cases, but so far, no one’s been cuffed for these messed-up pranks.

“It’s terrifying to think someone would go this far just for a sick joke - swatting isn’t just a prank, it’s a threat to everyone involved,” a local Bel Air resident told us, echoing the frustration of a community tired of these high-stakes hoaxes.

Swatting: A Growing LA Nightmare for Celebs

Swatting ain’t just Ramsay’s problem - it’s becoming a straight-up epidemic in Los Angeles County, especially for the A-list crowd. This dangerous trend involves fake reports of heavy crimes like shootings or bomb threats, designed to trigger massive police responses. It’s like calling in a blockbuster action scene to someone’s real life, and it’s hitting celebs hard in Tinseltown.

Nicki Minaj had her Hidden Hills spot swarmed by cops in April after a fake shooting call, and she’s not alone. Big names like Jennifer Aniston, Chris Brown, Rihanna, and Justin Bieber have all been caught in this twisted game. It’s not just drama, either - back in 2017, a swatting call in Kansas led to a tragic police shooting of an innocent man, proving how deadly these ‘pranks’ can get.

Each of these incidents costs the city about $10,000 in resources and response time - talk about a pricey joke. And the feds aren’t playing around; swatting is a serious crime that can land perps with charges like making false reports or even terroristic threats, with penalties up to 20 years behind bars. With Ramsay already dealing with personal challenges this year - like recent surgery to remove skin cancer from his face - the last thing he needs is this kind of Malibu-style mess at his doorstep.
