Mario Batali
Similarly, the formerly admired celebrity chef, Mario Batali, confronted the repercussions of his actions in 2019. The renowned American chef, known for his ownership of multiple restaurants and frequent appearances on the Food Network, was discovered to have engaged in the harassment of women, hidden behind the scenes.
Once again, several women came forward, bravely sharing their experiences. In response to the allegations, Mario Batali took the decision to close all of his restaurants or relinquish ownership. Subsequently, in 2019, he faced charges of assault and battery, further tarnishing his reputation and leaving little to be admired in his actions.
