A woman accused of stabbing another diner at a Ruth’s Chris Steak House in
Manhattan made bail — but she’s still “not feeling good” because she
believes she was only defending herself, her father said Thursday.

Joan Thompson, 41, was let go after posting $40,000 bail with help from
friends and coworkers at Costco on Sunday, according to her father and
public records.

Thompson was released two days after she allegedly stabbed a 24-year-old
man in the back during an argument in the West 51st Street steakhouse,
leaving him with a pierced lung.

“She’s not feeling good,” dad Carlos Stapleton, 84, told The Post in a
phone interview. “Anybody wouldn’t. When you’re the victim, how you going
to feel good about something like that?”

Thompson is “real upset, but she’s OK otherwise,” he said. Thompson’s two
teenage sons are also “upset” over the entire thing, Stapleton said.

Stapleton had previously told The Post his daughter was defending herself
after the man attacked her and a cousin who she was dining with. The bail
was unfair, he added.

“She’s never been in no trouble. That was very unnecessary,” Stapleton
said.

An argument broke out in the steak house between a large group and staff,
when one rowdy customer turned his attention on Thompson. The man was
ready to hit Thompson when she stabbed him in the back with a steak knife,
her father previously claimed.

The stabbing was caught on cellphone video, which was described by
prosecutors in court on Saturday. The video allegedly showed Thompson
standing on a chair shouting and making a stabbing motion toward the
victim, prosecutors said.

After the attack, Thompson and her dinner companion fled the restaurant
and ditched their bill. Thompson was tracked down through the name on her
reservation and arrested after 2 a.m. on Saturday, according to
prosecutors.

No one answered the door at Thompson’s apartment on Thursday. Stapleton
couldn’t say why his daughter ran from the scene.

“Why that was done, I don’t know,” he said. “I don’t know what took place
for her to leave.”

Thompson was charged with assault and menacing, but prosecutors said they
might upgrade the charges after reviewing the victim’s medical records. In
brief remarks over the phone on Saturday, the victim said he was “feeling
great” after the incident.

Given that she apparently interjected herself into some argument total
strangers wete having, I too wondered if she wasn't just causing a
commotion to get out of paying her bill and things went too far.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the

President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed
