Lisa Vanderpump took to her Twitter account Friday to set the record straight regarding recent claims her restaurant Villa Blanca is in the midst of a second sexual harassment lawsuit.
'Nobody suing villa Blanca...wrong again an old complaint between two kitchen staff..oh dear,' the reality star - who turns 54 next month - tweeted.
Earlier Friday, TMZ reported that pastry chef Martha Diaz was suing Vanderpump's Beverly Hills eatery after a manager 'touched her vagina, showed her porn, and called her a "fat ugly w***e."'

Legal woes: Lisa Vanderpump took to her Twitter account Friday to set the record straight regarding recent claims her restaurant Villa Blanca is in the midst of a second sexual harassment lawsuit
Diaz complained to 'upper management and ownership' about the manager, but she did not specifically name The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star in legal documents.
Lisa's previous legal woes involved a different manager (Michael Govia) sexually harassing waitress Karina Bustillos, whom a jury awarded $6,000.
A California judge then ruled that the former Dancing with the Stars contestant and her husband Ken Todd pay Diaz $100,000 in punitive damages.

Sued again? Pastry chef Martha Diaz reportedly sued Vanderpump's Beverly Hills eatery after a manager 'touched her vagina, showed her porn, and called her a "fat ugly w***e"'
Fine dining? Diaz allegedly complained to 'upper management and ownership' about the manager, but she did not specifically name The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star in legal documents
She's appealing: Lisa's previous legal woes involved a different manager (Michael Govia) sexually harassing waitress Karina Bustillos, whom a judge ordered her to pay $100,000 in punitive damages
The British restaurateurs' attorney said: 'We are in absolute shock at the amount of punitive damages that were awarded.
'Especially in light of nominal compensatory damages awarded and the lack of sufficient evidence. We plan to immediately file an appeal and are confident that we will prevail.'
The couple of 32 years - who also own SUR and PUMP in West Hollywood - were previously served with a $75,000 discrimination lawsuit from an employee in 2012, but ended up settling out of court for an undisclosed sum.
