Mario Batali at his New York restaurant Del Posto in 2006. By Maura Judkis Maura Judkis Reporter covering culture, food and the arts Email Bio Follow March 6 at 2:24 PM Disgraced celebrity chef Mario Batali relinquished his stake in his company on Wednesday, more than a year after numerous women alleged that he sexually harassed them, resulting in a criminal inquiry against the chef.
Once a beloved Food Network personality and highly regarded chef, Batali seemed unstoppable — until multiple women came forth last December to publications including Eater, The Washington Post and the New York Times with allegations that the chef had touched them inappropriately or verbally harassed them, often while drunk. Batali was long known to be a hard partier.
Batali’s personal brand was hit first: ABC asked him to step back from co-hosting duties at his daytime talk show, “The Chew,” and a Food Network relaunch of his show, “Molto Mario,” was scrapped. Boycotts and calls for Batali to divest from his company began shortly after the first allegations, but the full divestiture took more than a year. The company had initially announced that Batali would be out by last summer.
