The source reports a struggling Josh told cops that Gordon Ramsay, Scottish chef and TV personality, is an “a**hole,” and is the one to blame for his outburst of rage.
3. Marks ‘Was Possessed by Ramsey and Turned Into God’
After being batoned and pepper-sprayed, Marks still resisted, and it took a total of five police officers to tackle the massive man and bring him down. He was then taken to a hospital, where he claimed Gordon Ramsay possessed his body and transformed him into God.
Strangely enough, doctors said Marks was not on drugs.

Before his cop-tackling days, Marks was a fine cook on Masterchef. With a background in both Southern and Panamanian cuisine, he added his very own flavor to the show, even becoming one of the finalists in his season. Check out a video of his chef days below:
Will Mark be able to get back into the kitchen or will “the heat” get the best of him?
