He always made me INTENSELY uncomfortable in videos and i couldnt place why, so it is so gratifying to see everything condensed into this video. This is why its tough to call out abusers/gross people in general- its always small nitpicks, disguised as jokes or written off because they arent big or mean enough to make a stink about in the moment. When you see them all compiled together, though, the pattern is undeniable. Fuck Adam Rapoport.
These are called microaggressions. And they're the new, ugly ways in which racism, xenophobia, homophobia, misogyny etc prevail in today's day and age. I am so glad he was called out.
It's our job to educate others on how to identify these types of microagressions and help others become cognizant and mindful of how we may sometimes unconsciously feed into them.
his body language SCREAMS abusive tbh
I called it out ages ago on a mr.porter video he did because he gave bad boss SCORPIO vibes. And guess what he is a bad boss Scorpio !!!!!
I’ve always had the feeling too! His energy seemed to affect his environment and even when I’m in my own kitchen too...
Yep, he always rubbed me the wrong way. Glad he's a goner.
You can clearly see everyone’s stress levels rising once he opens his mouth.
That’s what ive been saying!!! besides his shitty comments, hes always been sus because the whole atmosphere of the room shifts whenever he’s in the room
why is he even still at bon a petit ? They could afford to fire him , there are PLENTY of skilled people looking to take his place, better yet, POC people. They need to hire more poc.
Jennifer they fired him (or maybe he quit but i’m not sure) pretty recently actually
@@Jennifer-cx4wq spoiler alert: he stepped down
It’s as if when he walks in the room, everyone thinks, “Oh, God, it’s Adam again.”
i feel like hes the type of person who thinks hes a "class clown" when actually hes just mean and everyone laughs it off because theyre uncomfortable
Actually an ass clown
This perfectly describes the energy!
Everyone laughs it off because he is their boss and has power over them. It’s like if the class clown was also the teacher and you knew they could give you an F on your next essay if you didn’t laugh at their shitty jokes.
@@josephp.1919 I had a teacher like this. He used to tell these stupid and insensitive jokes about students and if the other students didn't laugh or called him out on it he would give them detention. He also used to award extra credit to students who came up with "jokes" he deemed funny.
Definitely the same energy as this idiot.
Shelby wow your teacher was really pathetic. No one could report him, or he was one of those lie and deny teachers and then would keep doing it ?
And these were the shots they APPROVED... Imagine how much worse Adam's behavior was when the cameras weren't running
.... :(
Oh god I didn’t even think of that
That is so true!
Riiiiiight! Omg!
I hadn't even thought about that. I'm convinced he insists they don't edit him out because HE is the one that is "look-at-me, look-at-me", not Andy. As evidenced by his strolling in playing guitar knowing full well that not only is that dangerous in a kitchen but that they're filming. He makes the damn schedule, for f-cksake. And to make sure he gets in the shot he attacks Brad. The look on Brad's face says it all. The guys a jerk.
Claire: "I wasted one on Adam when I shouldve given it to Sohla who actually cares about what we're doing here" IF THAT ISN'T THE REAL TAKE AWAY OF IT ALL. (Also how do you eat a gourmet version of any food claire makes and choose the og? Red flag.)
100% agree - I used to think Sohla was basically the boss of B.A. I was heartbroken to find out she was in fact being underpaid 😖
@@isabella2977 Yes exactly! I always thought that she doesn't have her own show because she's too professional to make silly clumsy videos like the others and just there to do her thing in the background and help out whenever needed. Like she's the only one who can temper chocolate!
The same way I will probably always enjoy McNuggets more than any homemade/gourmet version. Familiarity and filthy capitalist indoctrination. That doesn't make it a red flag though lol. There's so many things to criticise him for, so I dunno why you chose to target his preferences
@@AntiSoraXVI woah buddy, it's just when someone puts so much time and effort into making something better then putting them down is just not a nice way to talk to anyone? Yeah he had way worse problems, it's still just rude.
@@madisonwood3379 I get that, but next to everything else, it just seems like a non-issue. Especially when everyone gives their opinion on Claire's work (some positive and some not) after tasting it
Good on Molly for speaking back at him
honestly her position as a white woman probably allowed that to happen, based on everything i’ve seen/read he would not have allowed a POC (or more specifically a WOC) to talk back. this guy sucks majorly.
@@susanna9310 I know right? I always thought he was kinda creepy esp with random backhanded compliments.. I really do hope things will work out in the end, I love the BA team with all my heart. Molly exercising her rights + challenging him was incredibly sexy
Your chicken nugget pfp is making me hungry.
Kyrex the right to stand up for herself and her peers - particularly given that she is able to use her position of privilege as others have mentioned?
@@NedDanielss
She was talking down to him like she's better than him and he's subhuman. just because she's a woman with Aryan features doesn't give her the right to talk to her Jewish boss like that. I know there are alot of other Jewish people working for BA and I would hate to see how she interacts with them.
He has the least amount of experience in the kitchen compared to his staff and he has the audacity to critique any of them. 👏👏👏
He literally doesn’t have any cooking experience he’s a magazine guy, like he used to run GQ
@@esmeme69 wtf. and he had the audacity to talk about Molly not going to cooking school? fucking hell.
Ikr ? Why is he still at bon apetit?
@@Jennifer-cx4wq he isn't anymore

This week on It's Alive: Disgust and Hatred toward Adam Rapoport. This one's been fermenting for a long time.
Very underrated comment.
DESERVES MORE COMMENTS
This comment WINS.
I wish there was a way to favorite comments
Andrew Rea talking to Brad: "I didn't go to culinary school."
Brad: "That's cool. I did; I didn't learn anything."
Adam: "IF you had gone to cooking school you would have learned all about ice baths...I took cooking classes at l'Academie de Cuisine..."
That's the difference between a humble person who knows what they're doing in the kitchen and an arrogant person who doesn't.
the way molly spoke back,,, *chef's kiss*
She has to, because it's obvious the man is also a misogynist
She don’t give af! Especially with shitbag poppyport!
YESSS
I love how she has always stood her ground
She gives off an aura of blunt honesty to me. I admire it so much.
Lmfao Molly did not like him. Sassy and classy for sure
A youtube comment in their videos together said "they have the dynamic of a divorced couple during their child's birthday party"
Angryfan I have never heard anything more accurate
I have low key gotten the impression he has a crush on molly and for somereason being extra condescending is his way of trying to win her over (eye roll)
i think he liked her (in more than one way) and almost forced her to have him be on camera with her. she cant really say no to her rboss
Did y’all see Andy’s reaction when he picked Molly to answer his question first... definitely exhibiting his schoolyard bully behavior just for reactions.. what a toxic person
I HATE that he judged Molly for not going to cooking school. Cooking school is so inaccessible, and it’s seriously so inspiring to see women like Molly who have learned everything from busting her ass and working the line. She’s so kickass.
andy: *doing his job*
adam: "he's always like LoOK aT mE"
adam in the next clip: *walking around the test kitchen strumming a guitar for no productive reason, fully aware that brad is filming something. walks into frame only to insult him*
thank GOD he's gone. even before knowing all of this, it was so discomforting seeing him in any of the videos. he was never pleasant, nor entertaining, nor did he offer anything to the episode. he was just an annoyance. you could feel like uncomfortable he made everyone. molly was not shy about showing how much she detested him but it seems like adam was too much of an idiot to pick up on that. or he just waved it off on camera and decided to pick on her to make it seem like they had a "bickering pals" relationship.
Right! If you say you work there, we would assume you understand how to be quiet on set and out of frame while someone's actively filming, in addition to not being disgusting to your coworkers
saw his real personality shine through first in a video with molly, and never watched anything with him in it again
Rapoport: "Andy's such a show-off, jeez"
Also Rapoport: "So I bought this shirt for this one shoot"
@@PapayaStyle which video is that
wait brad actually looked seriously upset in that clip i feel so bad for all of them having to work for him
brad was contemplating if sticking up for himself or knocking him on his ass was worth the jail time/his job.
When I saw that air, I was totally shocked Hunzi (or whoever) had chosen to include that take.
I know 😢
totlyepic Apparently, (not obviously confirmed by Hunzi himself) they chose to include this part to show the real part of Adam with his employees
Carla didn't seem bothered by it
Adam: “I wOrK hErE”
BA Test Kitchen Staff: “Not anymore”
How he says that when he wants his own personal pizza but "im not part of the test kitchen" when its 'whos the most judgemental' 😤
Vodka Jig I know! This man is so confusing. Honestly such a toxic human being. I used to feel so weird when he would be in BA videos. Now I know why. He is a racist, homophobic, and sexist guy.
It doesn't even make sense. 'This isn't for us its for the people [watching]' 'yeah but I work here.' ... and?
🤣🤣🤣
That laugh Chris gives at that remark is the same one I give when my lazy boss that doesn't do anything other than causes problems says that he works hard or is always helping out.
How is he everyone’s boss but calls it “bahn appetit”
I TRULY DONT UNDERSTAND THIS LIKE... why can't you pronounce the name of your own magazine
So on point, I was thinking the same thing. Lazy prick.
Yall I didn't even know about the controversy and I swear I hated how he just walked in and acted like he was the smartest and most interesting person in the room. He literally put all videos he was a part of to a halt the moment he walked in. I always rolled my eyes when he walked in. Like "ugh, can you leave so people can have fun and be productive pleease"
You worded my feelings way better than I ever could
The way he was so passive aggressive toward Andy was disgusting
He’s probably not only racist but also homophobic 🤢
Minus the passive
that was the meanest thing in this video, easily.
Dude was straight up aggressive
@@jiv32 aggressive would have been physically or verbally attacking him
this video makes me SO angry. i can’t imagine how the BA chefs must feel working with him
Well it's written on their faces pretty clearly
I agree - you can understand why they all jumped to get behind Sohla when she spoke up. They were all just waiting for the right moment, and when it happened they jumped at the opportunity to get rid of this jackass.
He quit
He did quit...when everyone spoke up and asked him to. He obviously needed to go.
@@alwkw3783 I have a feeling he didn't have much of a choice. I'd imagine it was probably a "quit or be fired" situation.
adam: annoyed that molly didn’t go to culinary school. also adam: only went to cooking class
Adam really told Andy "...it always has to be look at me, look at me...you can go cook food somewhere else..." immediately after he flexed taking cooking classes at LeAcademie de Douche (for lack of a better word).
I hate that he has a polite but kind of snarky smile all of the time while he's insulting people. He's making it seem like it's constructive but he's just posturing to make himself feel less insecure. I like the comparison to Chris, because Chris will tell you what he thinks but is also a team player and secure enough in his own abilities to not need to constantly try to "prove he's smarter" than everyone. I also have always felt like adam has a crush on molly but also is incredibly disrespectful to her-- like that's his tactic for someone he wants to like him. It's weird.
wildhearses the classic tactics of a manipulator
just like molly said, chris is critical and adam is judgamental
Glad I’m not the only one who thought this
Chris seems like one of the gentlest souls, always trying to help, and being aware of Claire's emotional state. Blows my mind people even compare him with this man.
Chris criticizes for the sake of a better product, Adam judges to make his employees feel shitty
He’s such a stickler about cooking school, yet sohla had cooking school and solid industry experience and was still underpaid. Yuck.
and yet he couldnt cook! man didnt know how to chop even the most basic shit
also yet he cant even fuvking chop properly
Also, watch the pumpkin chiffon pie episode to watch her (Molly) cook circles around him and correct like a dozen careless mistakes.
Though to be fair Sohla did misuse the current political climate and made rather unreasonable assertions about Adam. Adam is an judgemental ass, however him dressing as a stereotypical rapper/gangster on a dress up party wasn't black face as Sohla suggested. Sohla also was a rather recent addition to the test kitchen and really just complained that she didn't already have a full show or got payed for that level.
Sure she has expirience, but not seniority.
Personally I'm happy Adam is gone as he just made everybody consistantly uncomfortable and acted like an ass but the assertions made by both Sohla and people supporting her are even more unreasonable. (then again outrage mobs, "woke" or not, tend to be rather unreasonable)
@@relo999 Sohla didn't originate the Adam brownface scandal. Also at the end of the day holding people, esp privileged men in power accountable isn't outrage. PoC being undermined and not paid for their contributions or specifically marginalized IS an issue. At the end of the day any slight defense of tht behavior is questionable and u obviously do not relate to being subjugated due to ur gender and race.
0:21 Claire's little message about sohla being the only person thats able to appreciate her work while simultaneously dissing adam gets me everytime
He's like the male Ellen.
he's worse
Does anybody actually have proof about that whole “Ellen’s really a dick,” thing? Isn’t it still only a rumor.
Ooooof
@@ascent8487 Drew's always fun to watch:

& depends on who you believe
@@Aawiss Hey guy!
The way he made brad feel in the beginning?????????
That made me feel a special type of anger
IKR? Like I could feel that bruise myself
He didn’t only cut Brad off rudely while filming but also made fun of him and went away like he was just standing there to be a bully. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth that Carla was laughing at it even though she was probably trying to brush it off but I feel bad for him.
Brad looks so sad after that why would he even 🥺
@@maschiaccio574 Carla probably wants to keep her job lol
“I work here” ew
Not anymore :D
Eat shit adam rappappapaport!~
Well.. I guess he's already eaten his own cooking
I’ve had a boss like this. He didn’t call me by my correct name for 3 years. And he had a team of 8. If you can’t get out of your own way, don’t become a leader. It’s not about you, it’s about your team.
notice how at the end when molly was gesturing "our" her hand didn't include adam as part of "our", it was pretty telling that molly considers as an "outgroup"
“pRiYa sOrRy 🙄”
Why does he sound like he literally couldn’t be bothered to remember her name?
ikr i would be sooo embarrassed to make that mistake i dont know how he just brushed that off 😖
ikr as an Arab who has been called a different name for around my entire school experience because of another girl who looks barely like me, adam disgusts me
Not to burst anyone's parade but I was mistaken constantly for a different person in my high school a few years ago and I'm white. It never bothered me because I totally understand when people get names mixed up. It's not like Rapaport said it in a way that would seem racially prejudice. And he did say sorry at least. Hell, I goof my dog's name and my sister's name all the time lol. Not defending Rapaport, but I just thought I should mention this
@@Lovicide But they were his employees, and his only two South Asian employees too. It shows a complete lack of respect.
@@alexpowell1184 my very own teachers, the ones that got paid to teach me and to at least remember my name, mistook me multiple times. It's not an uncommon thing that happens. If Rapoport had accidentally said Claire when speaking to carla or mistook Brad for Delaney, do you think this would have been overlooked? Because I sure as hell do. Just because they are two people of a similar culture or race doesn't mean shit, because at the end if the day it was still just an honest mistake. Get upset over the fact that Sohla didn't get paid for video appearances. Get upset over the fact that other BA members didn't speak out sooner. But getting incredibly upset over something like this is pathetic and childish
I always felt like he was going to start hitting on the ladies at any minute. Weird energy for a boss.
the fact he played guitar in molly’s WORK SPACE is disgusting
He's constantly trying to hit on Molly even though she is married and so is he, and she never puts up with it. She always talks back at him to try to get him to stop, but he just doesn't let up. I feel bad for her, and the fact that she tries to speak up, but no one else is, is sad
My boss does this its very awkward like he’s always on the verge of making things flirtatious..
Yeah, then I learned that he came over from GQ and was like, ah, the smarm makes sense.
you mean typical behavior for a boss of a corporation, like BA
This dude was like a real life Michael Scott except it wasn't funny because this wasn't a sitcom.
Not to mention that Michael at least also eventually had some redeeming qualities
Michael loved and cared for his employees
Michael is bizarrely funny, Adam is insulting
For reference: ua-cam.com/video/aiMcewLra2g/v-deo.html
Adam, being called out for being judgemental: "hey I don't work in the test kitchen!
Also Adam, being judgemental about the staff's pie: "but I work here!"
I’m dying, you instantly see their faces drop and their body language change as soon as he shows up and opens his mouth.
Seeing how upset everyone looks after being forced to interact with him kinda breaks my heart. I just don't understand people like this guy, like is it really that hard to just like _not_ be an asshole?
@@nasraaahhh Amen to that. People like him are so clueless to their own narcissism. I unfortunately know someone who is like that (I can't quite yet yeet them out of my life). EVERYONE is at fault but themselves. No introspection whatsoever. It's tiring. I can't imagine having to be around someone like that all the time especially at work. (Also all hail Queen Shin-Ae, thanks for the compliment 🥺💛)
Nice i love yoo pfp
@@emilythompson6253 Thank you 💛
Rosauno Lalintino sorry random but is your icon from “i love yoo”
@@kylajavier1352 Yeah, it's Shin-Ae 😊
I am never a mean person but he is just RUDE. He’s reminds me of the type of person who became manager because his parents own the place and he’s fresh out of highschool and now gets to tell 30 year olds what to do. Not a fan at all.
Spot on. I have had that boss.
My god. The first clip of Brad, Brad looks genuinely so hurt by that when it pans back to him. Like his feelings were literally hurt.
He’s literally all over Molly, he knows she doesn’t like him but he’s in a higher position than her so he keeps getting away with pestering her, it’s disgusting
@@Jahhh1995 bro what molly has a husband and adam has a wife whew chile
The video where they work together is so damn awkward. Seriously. And AR seems like such an incompetent guy in the kitchen, it's surprising he even had a job at BA.
thesoundofjesse whaaa
I always hated them together, he's so gross
As if married men are incapable of cheating. I know molly would never but obviously that asshat is interested
This the type of man who thinks all the strippers REaLLy LiKe HiM
This comment deserves more attention.
Omfg every time I come across this saying in the wild it’s still so hilarious. Trueeeee!
The most accurate description in all the comments
And probably never tips them because his company is good enough.
oh my god Y E S
I think we should all note that molly taking back is a form of privilege. Many POC feel afraid to speak up in this capacity.
dude honestly, yes! the POC chefs just have to laugh and play along
Abby B right!!! I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees that. As a poc I know that feeling where u are hyper aware of being the only poc and unimportant in the room
@@Jillydisco I'm white and I can't imagine what that must be like, I didn't know anyone could feel that way.
Abby B aww tbh it sucks and kind is normal. But it’s good to find understanding ppl like you
@@abbynicole4515 I'm glad you notice too, and now that you're aware if you see situations like that please be sure to speak up and use your privilege to empower others to speak their minds as well
Also, the time when Claire made Ben and Jerry's ice-cream versions of everyone, the best ice cream name was Sohla's and Claire was so very proud of it, but Adam took all the joy from her face with his demeaning ways. Blew up the whole chapter.
It's funny how everyone seemed to unanimously hate Adam Rapoport but couldn't find a reason why....this just tells us to trust our gut instincts yall. We got him.
Yeah! The videos with him were always weird but I just couldn't pinpoint why. I wonder how much work the editors had to do to keep even more of hos agression off the air
Not too hard to find the reason. He was almost always a douche when onscreen
Yea not hard to find reasons, he was always an asshole
Fr I was about to post this comment until i saw yours!!!
"this tells us to trust our gut instincts"
*No it doesn't,* we literally had a reason to hate him on pretty much every appearance and *every single time* it was called out in the comments.
…I was gonna say what the real moral of the story was but I can't find anything. Sometimes, life just sucks and then we die.
Oh yeah, transparency. We never had any. Everything on the videos was friendly and shiny and pretty and social media didn't help matters. When everything looks too good to be true, we have to ask ourselves if maybe it's actually staged.
Chris is critical and you're judgemental
I watch this interview and they elaborate on it- chris is smart and cares a a lot so he doesn't mince words but also cares about his coworkers- huge team player. Adam just puts people own because it makes him feel better about himself.
@@wildhearses yeah, Chris never said mean things out of his ass as Adam did, there's a reason why the BA staff trust his opinion so much and it's because it comes from a place of sincere help and understanding. Adam, on the other hand, is just straight up nasty.
There's a huge difference between "I think it needs more seasoning" and "you'd know that if you went to cooking school."
Can that be a shirt please????!
exactly. chris is never rude. his intent is to always improve the food and gives feedback. you can tell that he is straightfoward but still respectful and his coworkers get along with him well. adam on the otherhand is just mean.
In hindsight, playing guitar in the office was a major red flag.
Whenever he would walk into the camera frame I would literally be so bummed. He's that kid in school that is so freaking annoying and demand all the attention when the rest of us were trying to be polite and secretly wish he would just go away. I SO SO SO miss BA's videos. They are fun, informative and so well edited. (sad face)
he makes me so angry. brad looked so sad
he makes me SO angry and always has
For real Brad exudes an aura of joy, anybody who is able to take that away is obviously a dementor. Dude sucks the soul out of the room the moment he steps into it...
he seems really insecure when he's picking on Brad honestly? like it must be hard for him not to notice that Brad's funnier and more likable than him and it's also pretty obvious he desperately wishes he was funny and cool
Like a kicked puppy. I could just scream. You could see the exact moment the energy drained out of him. How does your day recover after someone inflicts theirself on you like that? Decorum aside the appropriate response is “Aren’t you supposed to less of a monumental jerk than this?”
I wish that any unquashed person at all could’ve been there in the moment to stand up for/with Brad, Sohla, Priya, Molly, Claire, everyone. We couldn’t be there then, but we’re here now as best we can be.
His expression really broke my heart.
He really looked at priya and said sohla?!?! Wtf. Also they clearly all hate him xD.
Let's not chalk it up to racism though. Dude's just dumb.
@@nodezsh even if he's not ~racist~, his actions were. It's called a microaggression. Whatever his intention or his personal values, his actions were still racist.
@@nodezsh Let me say it again. His intentions DON'T. MATTER. His actions were RACIST. It doesn't matter what his reasons were, the resulting action was racist.
@@nodezsh If people of color are calling it racist, especially the ones it was committed against, you don't get to sit in your tower all high and mighty like "BrInG mE a ThEsIs". Get some self awareness, believe POC when they call out racism.
@@nodezsh Oh so you mean you refuse to believe POC when they call out racism and therefore you're protecting racists? You mean that no matter what proof people give you, you will continue to protect and shield racists? Nice, thanks for being transparent.
0:38 You could tell that brad was so upset and uncomfortable by that, wasn’t even smiling to cover up him being upset
You missed all the times he talked about meeting with Anna Wintour 🙄
DID HE JUST SAY THAT TO BRAD IM SO ANGRY
Protecc
honestly if adam wasn't there brad would've been jUST FINE
He was mean to our Brad. Like kicking a puppy.
You could tell that it genuinely upset him, too.
Guys, he is an adult. Don't call him a puppy!
he's clearly a fully grown dog
This is so creepy and the even more worrying thing is that this is just the footage that made it to the final edits. I hate to think what got cut because it was deemed too bad for public consumption!
Exactly! Or what doesn't even get recorded at all 😬😩
He's such an ego maniac he probably pushed to have it ALL included in the final cut. He sees nothing wrong with his behavior.
"I work here!" Sir, you don't even know who to sauté garlic properly
The guy is just 2020 manager material, only 1 billion more like him....
I never fully understood how disrespectful and awful Adam Rapoport was until I saw this video. He should never be breaking his workers down. He isn't a leader, he's a dictator. I truly feel so bad for all the amazing chefs that had to deal with him and work with him.
That Priya mix up calling her Sohla..yuck 🤢
him staring at her not even realizing her until she corrects him 🙄
major microaggression yikes 🤢🤢
They don’t even look anything alike they’re just both south Asian
You cannot find two south Asian ladies who look further apart.
Joshua Fernandes they literally work for him though. You should know the names of your employees
Thank you for showing the public it isn't about one photo from a long time ago. It is about what he did on a daily basis as a "supposed" leader. I'm absolutely disgusted by him.
Rapaport's laugh after he told Brad that he's supposed to be funnier was so poisonous in a way... I can't describe it.
Brad looked so hurt after Adam telling him “aren’t you supposed to be funnier than this” :(
It's like kicking a golden retriever! F*ck that!
hbumjr HAHAHHAHAHAAHHA i get what you mean but this comparison is tickling me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'll kill for brad
His heart broke into a million pieces, and so did mine.💔😭
yeah he lost all the "brad energy" after that, his face just froze D:
i never liked when he walked into frame. he makes everyone uncomfortable
His entrance was literally a cue for me to look for the point where he left the frame. I'm absolutely awful at picking up on social cues, like people being uncomfortable, but I do understand what's funny and what's not... His mere presence killed any fun was there whenever he was in the frame - and sometimes even when he wasn't...
Molly was ready to fight him every second he got close to her
Wow, all of your comments make me realise how horrible my old job was, when I just brushed it off because I have high anxiety and it was my first job. So proud of all of BA that spoke out, I know it would have taken so much strength 💖
“I think Chris is critical and you’re judgmental” Molly!!!!!!!
Molly laying down the BURN of TRUTH. #fierce
She's the only one that can say that without putting her job on the line because Adam loves her
:/
@@eugenenaputi2253 thats probably what people mean when they say "use your privilege"
the way he treated all of his employees was disgusting... it sucks to think that the BA test kitchen was run by this man. i look forward to (hopefully) seeing the channel and it's POC chefs flourish now that he's gone!
He got fired?
@@treeanimation368 no he stepped down and left the company
When did he step down?
the interim editor in chief is no better. ba test kitchen needs an entire upheaval if they really want things to change. this didnt just start and end with rapo
BA still isn't paying POC on par with the pay white chefs get, so many are still boycotting the channel
0:32 I felt Brad's reaction in my heart 💔
The way Andy and Molly gave each other a look while Adam was being rude says a lot
Bragging about his credentials when his cooking is consistently the most boring, uninspired, and often technically wrong.
He's just consistently awful, rude, and inappropriate.
That dig at Claire though..."this is the first thing you've done that I liked better than the original." That's just rude and mean, and I mean, based on how everyone else reacts to what she makes vs the original, must mean he's got bad taste.
Dick.
The Brad-Signal should've lighted up to tell Brad that Claire is in distress and just punch him in the face
Yeah, that was pretty insensitive.. he really did her dirty with that remark.
I would have laughed in his face when he took time to let everyone know what cooking school he went to. I bet Adam has older brothers who never let him win growing up.
So glad that this compilation exists because I’ve always gone back to these moments in these videos. It’s always been so clear everyone felt uncomfortable around him. When he was finally told to resign I wasn’t surprised.
He reminds me of that one annoying guy in class that thinks he’s friends with everyone when in reality they all hate him and talk shit when he’s not around
Right on the nail
as someone who was that in middle school, it checks out
Next level is talking shit to their face and telling them to do better
Spot on!
Isn't that what most minions do behind their bosses back - before the age of cancel culture?
When Brad just turned back the camera and said, “geez.” My heart went 💔
it was so noticeable that molly did not like him and her classy but sassy delivery of that feeling was just brilliant
And this is only what we’ve seen on video. Imagine what was cut
When he says to Brad "aren't you supposed to be funnier than this" and then Brad's reaction kills me. Adam sucks in general he is so rude to Andy when he was just doing what he needed to do and calling him out for it. I hate how he pokes at Molly for not going to culinary school even though she is very talented and skilled other wise and I can't even imagine how awful he was behind the scenes and directly towards people it makes me so mad. I knew there was something about him I didn't like from the begining and now it all makes sense. Damn unfortunate that all these people had to deal with him for so long
I think it's great to have someone on staff that didn't go to culinary school. Tons of people who love to cook never went, and that doesn't mean we love food and cooking less, just that we're working with a different set of skills.
@@tanyaveness8203 I totally agree
The fact that he keeps calling it “cooking school” rubs me the wrong way too. Seems to show off his lack of culinary education by saying “cooking” instead of “culinary” idk. BA is a magazine for home cooks, so it makes sense to have non traditionally trained chefs sharing technique and developing recipes!
@@charlottej6074 exactly that's why it almost refreshing to see them in their houses during quarantine I think they should learn from that going forward and make it feel more normal and connect us more with them instead of just these professional people who we can't relate to. Also I feel like non traditionally trained cooks often are more creative and fun to watch because they are just doing what they enjoy without those restrictions from their culinary training.
Lydia Lyle Yes! It’s really evident with Morocco on his recreate from taste series, he focuses so much on classical western technique instead of doing what makes more sense. Especially when he recreated Maangchi’s recipe and did all this French (I’m guessing?) technique when he just needed cook it all in one pot.
How times have changed... I was CRUCIFIED on YT and Reddit for calling Adam a scumbag like two years ago for his treatment of Andy. And now? Now you see it too. Good. And good riddance to Rapo.
UA-cam is all herd mentality. If you criticize someone on a channel, most people don't think critically and will pile on you. But now it's'cool' to hate Adam so that's all people will do for the most part
"When I had the regular hot pocket yesterday, I thought they were yours." - Adam. R
My inability to tolerate people like this in the corporate world explains why I now work for myself
Conde Nast seem to gravitate towards executives that are “belittlers” and self-important in lieu of true leaders. Rappaport and Wintour are no gems for humankind.
You're never gonna convince me that The Devil Wears Prada isn't just a feature length movie about what a bitch Anna Wintour is.
Shelby B I am not relying on that movie...
@@joseepotvin6478 I'm not either, I don't know why you'd assume I was.
Sohla or Brad would be much better as leaders tbh
I agree
Yet Anna Wintour got away with it for decades, and will continue to in the future. Rapoport reported to her. She is to blame for this gross behavior and culture; yet, she stays on. Her power is incredible
I always thought he had a weird relationship with Molly. She was def not interested in having him in the videos but I think he was a lil interested in her 👀
Sarah Elizabeth yeah it always seemed like in his head it was back and forth banter but to everyone else it was him being rude and her calling him out on it
Ugh makes me wanna throw up in my mouth 🤢🤢🤢
Yeah i think so too. He's like an annoying school boy...
This man really walked ON SET and showed he was doing jackshit during company time by playing a guitar, pestering his employees and interrupting shooting, making editing harder due to him making a bunch of random noise not usual to the kitchen. Truly showing how unprofessional he is and how he obviously thinks he is above everyone and should be the star.
the way everyone seems so uncomfortable after he says anything
I've always loved Molly clapping back at him but it's also kinda sad how she's the only one who felt safe enough to do it ☹️
Which is in no way her fault, btw
She was safe because he clearly had a thing for her.
@@luns486 I didn't get that, I can see Adam has a superiority complex towards her, specially about her not going to cooking school and being self-taught. I meant that she feels safe bc at the end of the day, if she ever gets fired, her case for unlawful termination can actually go somewhere, and she won't be ignored.
@@bettyflores1742 to be fair, she's safe for both of those reasons. And the niggling at her about cooking school thing is one of the biggests reasons I suspect he's into her. Classic playground flirting. Either way, what a colossal douchbag.
@@bettyflores1742 Adam clearly has a complex where he sees his interactions with Molly as "flirtatious banter" despite Molly literally being married. Definitely workplace harassment, and anyone seeing if from the outside knows that Molly absolutely hates him.
@@bettyflores1742 she probably wouldnt have a good case cause at the end of the day in most states if they can even show a hint of what they put on your pink slip being why you got fired you're fucked for wrongful termination
I am glad I can voice my inherent distaste of this man openly now! From the first time I saw him in a BA video I was so put off...literally triggers memories of every bad interaction I've ever had with an annoying white guy who throws his privilege around. Ugh.
Atprick B I completely agree. He always seems arrogant and like the kind of guy that doesn’t let others speak
SAME! When he had a cameo in Gourmet Makes, his whole vibe did not sit right with me
💯💯💯
Well put
Oh look, another opressed black person
How did Rapoport not understand how he was perceived by staff? This is liking early Office episodes.
Yooooo he gives me anxiety. Literally one of those managers at your job where you clock in, and have to go do a prayer or quick meditation before you start your shift because you know you’re gonna be irritated at some point. And the type of manager you skip and do cart wheels away from in your way home when you finally quit your job.
I’m so done with these high-production shows on UA-cam that clearly exploit the people working for them like have we learned NOTHING from buzzfeed?
Wow. You're not wrong.
Can we go to watching cool content from small channels?
Omg yes. Whenever I notice something is high production I get instantly suspicious of it.
wait what happened to buzzfeed?
john salvatore they’re pretty notorious for treating their interns/workers like trash, especially their workers of color. Even ones that appeared regularly in their popular videos. Some of them after leaving have expressed that they didn’t feel like their ideas and creativity was as valued as their white coworkers among similar issues.
I lost all respect (tbh I never liked him so I didn’t really have any to begin with) when he called Priya Sohla
Tbh if that were the ONLY thing, it'd still be cringe but maybe forgivable. That stacked on top of his constantly shitty attitude...nah.
@@shelbyb9965 The one that really kills me is when he complimented Claire on the Hot Pockets by bringing down everything else she had done on the show. She and Amiel were laughing but out of awkwardness, because I'm sure it hurt Claire (who is already self-concious), and Amiel probably noticed that as well because it wasn't a very hearty laugh.
I hope his time away from BA brings him redemption.
That moment was so telling. I used to try to defend Rapoport and see him as someone who was out of step with his employees but trying to relate but when I saw that moment I kinda knew the game.
This is the only one I could maybe understand because my mom is so bad with names she routinely switches my dad and I (her daughter) around. But with everything else? It just comes across so purposefully disrespectful.
The thing is if it just slipped out, and he corrected himself it would be fine. But he genuinely didn't seem to know and was insincere and then seemed like why are you all annoyed? He didn't even catch it himself it's ridiculous, dude also just seems like a douche in general. I call my friends by the wrong name by accident all the time but it's not because I don't know who is who and more that my brain doesn't work
"Yeah but I work here" famous last words
That guy was dead to me the day I heard him say that bay leaves taste like nothing. Lol
They do taste like nothing. Chris said this also.
The fact that we all found his distastefulness palpable through our screens means he is truly repulsive in person. Some people's energy is just gross you can't even be near them without being angry or disgusted. You can just tell you'd hate him if you met him.
Molly, "This is the pie for us who work here."
Adam, "Yah but I I work here."
Chris' look says it all.
That nervous chuckle and look down at the table as the video ends... sheesh this guy must have been awful to work for
he's like a bully that never mentally left middle school. He knows what bothers people and says it in a way that he cant get caught for it, but you know he knows exactly what hes doing, but nobody else can see it.
Molly gutting him in front of a theater full of people was excellent.
the fact that molly didn’t even go to cooking school and she has her own show and sohla who has much more cooking experience and has a lower position than molly shows how unfair and racist bon appetite really was.
Not to mention Sohla being a master of nearly all aspects of cooking (pastry included, having Claire ask for advice) yet was underpaid ...
I hope all the talent from BA jump ship and start their own media company and make UA-cam videos keeping most of the profits for themselves. They are single handedly SAVING BA as printed media slowly goes bust, and theyre getting peanuts and Sohla getting 1 peanut
@@annaliseaudrey963 this comment is so well worded and SOHLA GETTING 1 PEANUT IS THE MOST ACCURATE THING EVET
Well, let's not discredit molly just because sohla didn't get the credit that she deserves. Both are good at their craft and deserve to be compensated.
Sohla deserved to be paid fairly and equally but let's not dump on Molly's ability either! BA shit the bed on this one, not Molly herself.
Truth!
When he grabbed the spoon from molly and took over her dish chillleeeeeeeeee
They had a youtube channel and a concept that could have been worth like 100x more than the magazine ever could and they threw it away over egos and racism. Like all they had to do was not be condescending weirdos and just pay the charismatic chefs like double what they were paying and that's it. Huge success. They blew it up over stupidity.
Not only did Moly dislike him she low key enjoyed making him uncomfortable back.
It's funny how we would never watch a video of just him but we love to watch videos with him and Molly because she will not hold back anything she has to say against him
100% agree. I would totally watch 10 hours of Molly clapping back at him anytime he's stupid/condescending/gross.
I specifically remember starting to dislike adam when he was berating molly about her food knowledge and he didnt even know how to keep garlic from burning and becoming bitter
Even with the video on mute, the blazer and t-shirt combo says it all.
