He named the restaurant after himself.
😂
To Celia Goldberg: A restaurant is not the best place to rain down discrimination due to the owner, for when the worker's sue -- it's the end of the whole business. Eateries are too mom-and-popish to survive the big hits. When the workers complain and repine -- they lick themselves! (Pardon the pun.)
Hah
A pig is too good a name for him.
Celia Goldberg i was thinking the same thing! 😡😡😡🖕him!!
A Chef sexually harassing staff, and belittling the staff? Nooo way, said every restaurant employee ever. The bigger the Chef gets, the more terrible he becomes. Restaurant 101
Scott Casey true story
So true.
Yup
Unfortunately
Even female chefs?
I worked for a restaurant chain. I was sexually assaulted by my boss. I went to the regional and national heads of the restaurant chain. I was eventually fired as a “troublemaker”. Two years later the restaurant boss was successfully convicted of sexually assaulting teens who worked for him. The company claimed they had never been contacted or were made aware of any misconduct by this person. It was a complete lie and incredibly insulting considering I had approached them years before and went through all the right channels to seek assistance. Bosses take advantage of their positions because young adults and adults alike rely on the financial aspect of employment.
I see many comments attributing part of the problem to the restaurants not having an HR department, as if that would have made much difference...!!!..It is an overly optimistic view to think that having an HR Department would have made much difference. The simple fact is that in both private business and in government, the primary job of the HR department is to protect the Boss..!!! And the HR is happy to hear the complaints so it can be reported to the Boss and allow strategies to make life difficult for the employees. More often than not, the head of HR, in both private business, and especially in government, are delighted to go to the Boss and present themselves as the protector of the Boss to get higher salary and bounces. In short, the very existence of the HR often fools the employees to believe that they have a safe place to complain about abuse...!!! It is sad and pathetic.
@@theowl3756 please stop spamming the comments with the same comment over and over. Don’t belittle someone else’s experience ESPECIALLY when it comes to abuse.
@@kylieevolved7400 What are you smoking..??? This is not belittling the victims experience. If anything, it is supporting how little help they could get. It is warning the victims that going to HR is not always the best solution, because HR is often protecting the Boss/supervisor. In many cases, the HR is an accomplice in the ongoing criminal conduct.
I would watch him cook...get all sweaty...and be hyper vigilant about trying to catch him sweating in the food. He’s sooooo gross. 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
The biggest criminals are in suits
And robes..........

So true..but they more times than not don’t see any jail time. See the subprime mortgage collapse circa 2008.
And created the most havoc. No one's 401k or female family, or children members are safe while these criminals roam free and protect each other.
I lived in NYC in the early 2000’s and worked in the upscale restaurant industry. I knew a girl back then who had been harassed by Batali while working at the Spotted Pig. Am kind of amazed that it actually finally came to light. This is the norm rather than the exception and is rarely acknowledged. Sad.😢
This is the case with most high profile figures. It was an open secret about Weinstein way back in the early 2000s. Everyone knew about him, you didn't even have to be part of the Hollywood scene or an insider. That's why it's so eye-roll inducing when you hear famous actress' feign confusion and shock at the accusations....they all knew and they all allow it to happen because that person has power and influence.
Yes...so sad.
When will we see Mario shuffling into court leaning on his walker?
😀😀😀😀😀
exactly!!!! I thought the same!!!! Suddenly walkers are flying off the shelves.
UncleHank
Good point!
Lol lol yes
Weinstein style!
Never trust a man who wears Crocs and rides a Vespa.
Pretentious with crocs. Isnt that an oxymoron? Lol
@Bobby Brady I agree completely! Always tried to come across as smarter and better than everyone on TV. What an ugly, gross disgusting carcass of a human!
Peggy Stoute Morin yes like Weinstein
:))))
@Bobby Brady i know the meaning of the word. Thats what makes it funny.
It’s EVERYWHERE. Very few women go through their life without some form of sexual assault levied against them.
And for some of us it started@ 10 years old by family Friends....
Terry Dever 😪
Yup, if you are female in one way or another you will be sexually harassed in your lifetime.
Give me a break you must have a different definition of “sexual assault”
@@levonvardanyan3478 That’s the problem Men have already had too many breaks where sexual harassment is concerned‼️
That chef, April Bloomfield, she knew. She knew the extent. She just didn’t do anything. She knew. Both those “men” belong behind bars and the chef needs to be fined at the least, she should have to do some sort of penance for standing idly by.
She has been quoted as saying “ That’s who he is , get used to it , or go find another job “ from employees she needs run out of the business, not being a judge on beat Bobby flay
The infatuation Americans have with celebrities is the fuel that feeds this kind of criminal activity.
I agree, ppl put far too much praise over them their just broken ppl who can act or sing
Hmm...I worked in plenty of restaurants and she's right...sh*t like this happens all the time. I think it has more to do with being in a position of power.
The current state of the job market. It's easy to say, "Just get another job" but the reality is that's not often an option for a multitude of reasons, the biggest is that a lot of us don't make enough to have that kind of security.
It is the media that props these people up with the garbage they show and morons suck right up .
The infatuation celebrities have with themselves is what feeds this criminal activity.
As a 59 yr old woman, I'm disgusted seeing this. It's time for this crap to END! It's criminal!! Arrest him! Duh.
Please sexual harassement is an ugly dude trying to get laid.
John Doe I care
John Doe I really care
@John Doe John Doe I also really do care what a 59 year-old . And I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK
Ok Karen
I loved watching The Chew but Mario always disgusted me. Fat, sweaty, nasty long ponytail and his arrogance-🤢
same here. Just something creepy about him.
I worked in the service industry from the age of 16 to 36 and I have had more sexually inappropriate things said to me by men in positions above me than anyone should ever have to endure. The problem is that server staff are easily replaceable and if it's a restaurant where there is money to be made, there is always someone waiting to be the replacement. So if someone speaks up, they will likely be fired for some bogus reason. And may in fact, have a very hard time getting a position in another restaurant in their area. Everyone knows that managers of different establishments hang out together, party together, speak regularly, and often blacklist employees that are "problematic". As long as restaurants are allowed to continue to pay their serving staff and kitchen staff such low wages, this will continue. There's so many problems with the service industry this is but one of a million.
As you get older they will stop
I’m so tired of this… As a 65-year-old woman I honestly don’t know any woman that hasn’t been sexually harassed assaulted, harassed, or raped. When will this end? It will end when we are 100% intolerant of this behavior and these people are treated as the criminals they are. No amount of money or “stature“ should save these people. They need to stand trial and be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. To anyone chastising women for not speaking up in the moment have no concept of what women in these circumstances deal with…
Only if you saw this for what it is, Evil world, Evil doings....This will not change...It will only get worse. Repent, Jesus Christ is coming. Once you hear that trumpet roar, it will be to late. Every man will be judged, every rapist, every molesters and the sexually immoral.
Anyone who watches this garbage deserves it.
@@TheDonFinnemore I don't listen to these channels, but I actually thought this was Anderson Cooper doing a piece on Comet Ping Pong!! Now, how crazy would that be?
Said the angry 65 yo woman.
you can say the same thing about men
The restaurant name is perfect for them "Spotted Pig".
Ya, I don't think it was an accident.....
They should call it the ugly pig as everyone there is ugly it seems. Including Mario... Ugliest group of waitresses I’ve ever seen
It's awful working for people like this. I'm so glad that people are being able to speak out more about this behaviour. When I was 15, I worked as a waitress and was treated awful by the managers and owners. They treated all the teenagers as if we were second class. The berated us, made inappropriate comments about our bodies, went through our belongings and were just awful. I finally told my parents what was going on. Luckily, my dad is not a hot head. He calmly went in and in front of all the other workers, told them I would no longer be working there. He then proceeded to tell them that he knew how they were treating the teenage girls and that he would take proper steps if he ever heard of any of that happening again. Later the owner brought his car into my dads garage to be worked on. My father told him he would not work on it and that he would not do business with him. The man profusely apologized (probably because he was afraid of word getting out). I'm so proud of my father for taking up for me.
Great father. I'm sorry you and other girls went through this. I'm.a male and I hate when filthy.men think they can do this to women. They need turned in.
@Gigi Eyre, your dad is a stand up guy and as you are, I am proud of him too! 👏
Although I tend to be more on the Gregory Scarpa side (how he dealt with the driver that tried raping his daughter) when it comes to my own daughter I definitely can say you have every right to be proud of your father. Sounds like a good man.
Why did this same exact thing happen to me as well... it shouldn't be this common.
Exactly what I would have done! Told my dad! I’m 41 and I would still tell my dad lol
HR's job is to protect the company!! Not the employees.
👏👏👏Yes!! People need to understand this. HR departments can rarely be trusted. I saw too many people's careers crash and burn after going to HR to report legitimate issues. When I was attacked on the job by an enraged boss, I went directly to an attorney. It was the only way to ensure I would be protected.
Yes..HR is there to defend the corporation...not the employees. HR departments are a joke.
But part of that is protecting the company's reputation in many ways, including as a good place to work.
@@shelley6477 Unfortunately, in some cases, that reputation of goodness and/or safety is an illusion and not reflective of reality.
@@AvecPoesie I don't know where you folks work, but HR at my jobs actually cared. I know that someone got nixed when women complained. Posthaste dude was gone. I reset his password myself.
This is so scary. I am sorry this happened to these women. They are all brave. Thank you.
I once had an owner at a restaurant where I was working fire the chef on the spot because he brought a new server to a party at his house where she was sexually harassed and groped. Instead of closing the restaurant for the day and causing the workers to lose out on a day's worth of money, the owner, who hadn't cooked in years took over for the chef while the kitchen manager put out the word to all current and former employees that there were shifts available if they wanted them. From what I understand the whole week was a wash in terms of profit after which he was up to speed and after two months we finally had a replacement chef. The sacrifices that come with protecting your employees are great, the owner worked 7 days a week for two months and I wish I could say the chef never worked again but that's not necessarily how it works in the restaurant business.
Lol a wash in terms of profit 😂😂😂
I have also worked for the other kind of owner. I had one that refused to approve raises for something like 4 years, but was always in the market for a new yacht to replace the one be had at the moment. Idiot used monopolize the breakroom (a closet really) while he was there, and once left his yacht magazine when he left, after which I spent 2 hours trying to keep the serving staff from walking off the job. What a farce. Dude ended up going to jail for stealing from his partners. Who'd have thunk it?
Predators like this should be in jail
They are everywhere. I read that there are carnies IE carnival workers who are sex offenders and also a lot of out of towners who like going to restaurants and like fondling women in crowded bars and restaurants. They don't like sitting to hotel rooms and watching Family Affair reruny on TV.
These are grown women. Fully capable of documenting and lawyering up. Calling him a predator belittles the strength and power women have
Irene Satterfield calling him a predictor doesn’t make women less...it’s accurate
Irene Satterfield you’re not a woman. Obviously.
@@ziggy33399 I'm a warrior goddess
after looking at comments that say women don't report bc they like/prefer money...or blame them for not reporting to save future victims. These comments are just ignorant. obviously don't understand what its like trying to get a job after being blackballed by you former employer. These crimes are about power, control and fear.
I do know what it is like because I am a whistleblower and you are correct I lost my family and my career as a result of it but I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees
@@richardwelkiv8325 I too am a whistleblower. Lost everything. Did not stop others from being victimized. and I did not have a family to support. So I can't pass judgement on others.
Once again evil prospers when good people do.nothing. If you truly are a whistle blower than I am sorry for your suffrage for I know what it is like to not only suffer but to watch your family suffer as well as you try to do the right thing. I do not like to see good people suffer and if that means I have to take a little heat well then so be it .
@@MollyBrown-f9i Let me quote a famous individual far smarter than myself. Throughout history it has been the inaction of those who could have acted the indifference of those who should have known better the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most that made it possible for evil to triumph . These are words that govern my life.
@@richardwelkiv8325 Abusers use power, control and fear. The abuser is only half the problem. You have to deal with people who protect abusers out of fear or they depend on them for support of some kind and friends and family or employers. Often the very people you are trying to protect want nothing to do with you out of fear or they are famiily/friends or employers who don't want to believe. Abusers are often protected by their victims. The very people you are trying to protect. ( sorry I think I accidently deleted my comment)
The restaurant industry is rife with all manner of delinquency. From abusive management to drug and alcohol abuse to sexual harassment. If you value your soul, stay clear of the business.
Many of us have a great time in the restaurant business. The after work partying can get out of hand though and slow down your professional aspirations especially if you get addicted to drugs /alcohol.
Charles Ritter PSA to parents. Don’t allow your daughters to party with coworkers lol.
True dat
but you forgot the 50 bucks an hour in tips. souls have value.
Agree 100%.
I'm so so sorry they experienced that. Nothing more fearful than to be groped or assulted by someone you once TRUSTED.
I can relate to these women from the Spotted Pig.
I was sexually harrassed by my boss at a family owned lab.
They have no HR dept.
Who do you tell?
How do you hold them accountable?
I was forced to leave my job.
It sucks.

"He wanted a place that catered to celebrities." That tells me everything about these guys. Birds of a feather flock together. Sociopaths. As a culture we must stop bullying and stop obsessing about celebrity and fame. As a NYC resident I'm so relieved that I have never supported this slime pit. Truly disgusting. Sometimes I get a certain vibe in an establishment where the staff is drooling over certain people and not others. I never go back.
Top jobs that sociopaths gravitate to: Politicians, Surgeons, Chefs, Preachers etc....any job that they can have power & control over others. Look up the traits of a sociopath. These types are everywhere blending into society but, behind closed doors they are the emotional, mental, verbal, financial & physical abusers. It is believe that 4% of the population is a sociopath or psychopath. All sociopaths also have narcissistic personality disorder. Experts believe that we meet one in passing everyday, whether in a deli line, friends party, at work etc without even realizing it. And experts believe that we have one in our of friends, coworker, or family without even realizing it.
Educate yourself on how to spot one and also look up the “No contact rule” this is the only way to have peace in your life is to follow this rule.
Look up the book The sociopath next door by Harvard Professor Dr Martha Stout (audio version free on the net to listen to), The path forward surviving a narcissist by Lisa Scott (see her site), Lovefraud 10 signs you are dating a sociopath by Donna Anderson. Pass this on to your friends, mother, sister, etc. Education is the only way to stay safe in this dangerous world.
It was extremely brave of these women to come forward (especially on a show like 60 minutes) to tell their story. To expose a sociopath or anyone that harasses others takes a village to get others to notice. These ladies should be proud of themselves for speaking the truth.
@@jansmith9922 actually no they shouldn't be proud because they waited a long time. They reaped the benefits of their fancy jobs at his place and then finally complained after a very very long time and on tv no doubt where they could get more attention and spotlight. There are people who endure much more, suffer much more in life and dont feel the need to go on tv and talk about it. I havent much sympathy. They're not heros. I feel for the woman who was assaulted while passed out and surprised the others who saw it weren't more aggressive about taking a stand for the woman. Secondly, i was a counselor for years with a degree... not everyone who has a high position or a position of power is a psychopath, sociopath or suffers from narcicistic personality disorder. We must be careful when using labels like these. Its not responsible. I see all over the place now about "narcissists, "toxic people," "sociopaths", gaslighting etc. These terms are over used just as "bipolar" was a few years ago. People were calling others "bipolar" if they were moody or grumpy. People are taking this too far....

I worked in the high-end restaurant business for 20yrs and i can say with all honesty this kind of atmosphere is very common in Restaurant work.
So many of us are watching, going through trauma. It’s happened to many, too many times. Flashbacks of several assaults. This has been accepted since the beginning of time I suppose. So happy to see, but scary to see, assault is more out in the light.

But it's so true after 20 yrs in the industry these guys have so many issues it's pathetic & they over compensate so they can feel better abt themselves.

Great reporting. Thank you to Anderson Cooper, 60 Minutes, & most of all to these brave women.
HR is nothing but a safe guard for the company. I went to AMDs HR and was put in a demeaning job until I quit. Never go to HR go to a LAWYER! This post in under a Alt account so I won't be retaliated against.
James Agree. Our workplace have all these “safeguards” like “ombuds” or “respectful workplace” but it’s all optics.
Totally agree! I've had two experiences with HR...both times, they protected the higher ranking employee and the company. Both times, the person who reported the abuse was retaliated against until they resigned.
James It’s imperative employees have an escape and backup plan. HR represents the company and not the employee in any capacity. The speak in corporate riddles when confronted with issuess of discrimination and harassment.
If you work in a public corporation, always report these types of things to the company's ethic's hotline. It can be reported anonymously and complaints go to the committee of the Board of Directors, not HR.
@Ann Tinnin Yeah, right, and what life will you have when you go to EEOC and are labeled a snitch? Have fun with that.

As a female chef working in mostly, all Male kitchens, I cannot tell you how many times I've been treated inappropriately at best.
Deirdre Entrup yep, and sadly, most women have to work in a male-dominated workplace, and have the same ugly stories to tell. I’m no man-hater but so few of them really get how humiliated and powerless it makes you feel.
Deirdre Entrup I have been sexually harassed at almost every job I have had!
M Goode true. Though I would imagine for most guys their reaction would involve a right hook. Girls are raised (read programmed) to react without making a scene.

@@KBWeeds I thought the whole point of Gail King's interview was missed entirely.
THIS HAPPENED FIRST: *JAN 29, 2020* ...Disney heiress Abigail Disney turned to social media to weigh in on her reaction to the superstar’s legacy.
“I haven’t said anything about Kobe so far because I felt some time needed to pass before weighing in,” wrote Disney Wednesday morning. “But yes, it’s time for the sledgehammer to come out. The man was a rapist. Deal with it.”
Gail King's interview was a direct response in defense of Bryant by a friend, Lisa Leslie!
*February 4, 2020*
_GAIL KING: It's been said that his legacy is complicated because of a sexual assault charge, which was dismissed in 2003, 2004. Is it complicated for you as a woman, as a WNBA player?_
*LISA LESLIE: It's not complicated for me at all. Even if there's a few times that we've been at a club at the same time, Kobe's not the kind of guy - never been, like, you know, 'Lis, go get that girl, or tell her or send her this.' I have other NBA friends that are like that. Kobe was never like that. I just never, have ever seen him being the kind of person that would do something to violate a woman or be aggressive in that way. That's just not the person that I know.*
_GAIL KING: But Lisa, you wouldn't see it, though. As his friend, you wouldn't see it._
*LISA LESLIE: And that's possible. I just don't believe that. And I'm not saying things didn't happen. I just don't believe that things didn't happen with force.*
_GAIL KING: Is it even a fair question to talk about it considering he's no longer with us and that it was resolved? Or is it really part of his history?_
*LISA LESLIE: I think that the media should be more respectful at this time. It's like if you had questions about it, you had many years to ask him that. I don't think it's something that we should keep hanging over his legacy. I mean, it went to trial.*
_GAIL KING: Yeah, well, the case was dismissed because the victim in the case refused to testify. So, it was dismissed._
*LISA LESLIE: And I think that that's how we should leave it.*

I loved watching Molto Mario and Mediterranean Mario in my high school years. I thought he was a great and fun chef. Didn’t know he was a monster.
Pigs been spotted, send them to the slaughter house.
Once a perv always a perv.
Anyone that wears crocs as everyday footwear is a monster
Orange crocs, at that!
Thanks for calling my mother a monster
@@richardcontinijr9661 you're welcome👍
I dnt wear them but i think wear what you like
😂 🤣😂
I worked at a majority male company and they used you make demeaning comments, sexual innuendos, some touched my head behind my back, stared at my chest. The boss who was a female btw did nothing to help me. She often shouted at me and abused me emotionally.
Bloomfield, Friedman's business partner, apologized "whole heartedly" to the public and her employees, but only after Friedman's sexual abuse was exposed, claiming she doesn't know. But before that, when employees complain to her, she would say "That’s who he is. Get used to it. Or go work for someone else".
This hypocrite should also be exposed for who she is and should be "cancelled".
I almost forgot all about this story. Where is Oprah’s documentary? When is Gayle King going to ask his friends about the allegations?
Diamonds and Fuzzy slippers Never! White men get a pass from them.
That won’t happen.
Rich boys having fun.
At expense of women as usual
Average x abusing women is not having fun. It’s not Acceptable!
@@maritzadillingham4008
They were being sarcastic
@@maritzadillingham4008 I see you misunderstood me. I was saying that they were doing the same thing to do all the time but nobody cares because they're rich but poor people get locked up for consensual sex every day
Hopefully this place goes under due to the virus paybacks a b
What a TOOL he looks like on that dumb scooter thing. Gross
With these men, the power of being in charge/business ownership goes to their heads and they think anything goes/no boundaries is the norm. It makes me sick!!!!
It’s revolting, the behavior tolerated in the restaurant industry. These abusers are lucky they’re not doing time.
Its not just women, it happens to men also. I have been with Wendys for 20 years, and as a gay man I have been harassed. I have been sexually harassed . I have been bullied by bosses. I have seen it all. So, yeah, it happens to men also.
That’s just hideous ..., so wrong 😩
I met him. They are NOT lying. He was also rude and entitled when I met him on "THAT' talk show that shall remain un-named here... Although, it was cancelled eventually. 😔
Just lost my appetite, these bosses should be in jail. poor the staff.
I mean, work in a corporate and sees what happens.
I always thought he was so deprecating on his cooking shows to the point he was rude to guests. He had a high opinion of himself. Always gave me the creeps and I finally quit watching. Not a huge surprise.
I find it interesting when a person who appears so slovenly looking and attired is hailed as a great chef. In my mind cleanliness is crucial in cooking even down to one's appearance. Add the obviously narcissistic personality too. Perhaps for some there is a weird kind of appeal seeing someone who looks as if he couldn't boil water make a tasty dish? Now I see I wasn't being harsh as his behavior was as atrocious as his dress. Normally I don't like to post negatives and just keep it to myself so I can understand why the women, with more at stake, tried to cope for so long. It's a sad story that too often repeated itself to give the letters of apology much meaning other than a lame damage control spin.
Had a meal there years ago, wasn't that great. Cult of personality.
I worked in the restaurant/service industry for a little bit, and I can honestly say that these women are right, and I never treated them like that; but they are right. There’s literally no one to complain to. If you did, the manager is going to find out who initiated action against him. Then, through some form of osmosis, the other guys guilty of the same infraction get on code and shut the he he-🏒 🏒 up. After that, your shifts decrease. Finally, all your complaints (legitimate or not) go unheard. Ultimately you quit. They win and hire someone younger.
I see many comments attributing part of the problem to the restaurants not having an HR department, as if that would have made much difference...!!!..It is an overly optimistic to think that having an HR Department would have made much difference. The simple fact is that in both private business and in government, the primary job of the HR department is to protect the Boss..!!! And the HR is happy to hear the complaints so it can be reported to the Boss and allow strategies to make life difficult for the employees. More often than not, the head of HR, in both private business, and especially in government, are delighted to go to the Boss and present themselves as the protector of the Boss to get higher salary and bounces. In short, the very existence of the HR often fools the employees to believe that they have a safe place to complain about abuse...!!! It is sad and pathetic.
I understand how dangerous these situations are, and how those who created this environment need to be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. That said, I was a server at the Spotted Pig, and I quit the first time I saw someone else being harassed. It was my third day training. It was a disgusting display. I wish peace and wellness for everyone harmed.
I remember my first restaurant job, it was common knowledge not to be alone in a room with the boss. If you found yourself in that situation, you just kinda gotta laugh it off and back away. Same goes for customers, they think because they tip, they get to make sexual remarks, or maybe give you a little pinch. You learn fast who to keep your distance from.
thats the end of the Batali empire.
As it should
@TheLance3185 u right tho the cookware can come in Handy
Not really he just sold out to lydia
I doubt it. He’ll still own a percentage. Under a quiet non related business name.
His EATALY locations are doing well in NYC- always full. I pass by one every day and think at times that perhaps he got away and under the radar then this pops up. I guess not🤷🏾♀️
Why are they getting in his car?
I hope the police are involved in that matter. They needs to be held accountable for their actions. 😡
It's amazing how people with this much fame have to abuse their power/position of authority.
I worked in the 5 star Resort industry in my younger years. I quickly realized how profound the level of power and control was with the Chef's, Maitre D's, and servers was. The industry is slap full of it! I couldn't stand it
What’s wrong with all these women? This was very serious and no one called the police? Wtf
Anderson Cooper is the best journalist! He’s not afraid of anyone 🥰
Anderson cooper is a soros pro Ganda puppet mockingbird news reading a script
How awful and disgusting! I despise that men- especially those in “power”- feel that they have the right to assault women because they have the upper hand!!
Makes me sick.
No one deserves that treatment.
All of those men involved at the very least, should be jobless and unable to open restaurants... they will never stop committing these acts!
As a victim of sexual assault myself, as a teen, I would actually love to see them locked up, actually! Something like this traumatizes a person forever!
Shame on them!! 🤬🤬
Maybe they NEED to interview is wife and see what he said.
His wife isn't much better.
This happens in many restaurants in NYC. MANY restaurants in NYC offer a horrible, unsafe and scary work environment. I have children who worked as wait staff in several NYC restaurants, and many managers have an attitude of using verbal and emotional abuse and manipulation towards wait staff. Their attitude towards staff is "you are replaceable, dispensable, and I can replace you easily." There needs to be a ton more workers' rights for restaurant workers. As a parent, I am disgusted.
Its not just NYC. Its all over.
Yes u r correct .. everyone is replaceable including the restaurants owner ( cellphone recording)
No, in most workplaces means harassment, bullying victimization and you'll finally just have to quit.
He should never be allowed in public. Anyone who disrespects people should not be allowed to be around people
This was the norm for almost every kitchen I've worked in...if you complained you would have your car vandalized or your apartment broke into....your hours cut ...staff members harassing you....setting you up and hating on you until you had no job........I put up with alot when I had to take care of my children...but once in a while you would find a great job with no sexual harrassment....but what was just as bad was women hating on you because you had a managers certificate and you you were leading the restaurant as head chef or lead lineman....men basically didn't like a woman giving direction....other woman were envious....sabatoge was an everyday occurance....I used to think ....if I could just have a cafe all by myself....there would be no stopping me.....I've had haters spike my coffee with chemicals....so I couldn't work...over portion, so my food count is off...you know try to make you look bad....Narcissistic people who just do not want you to succeed. ....its terrifying how far they will go to destroy you and your reputation...but yes most all the men who ran a kitchen thought it was part of the perks to take advantage of woman in the kitchen....there were classes on sexual harrassment...but nobody really talked about it....because if you did it was you that was the problem and they would turn it around and say it was you....Its not ok some people cannot handle the power of being a good leader....
We need to learn from the romans. Actors weren’t allowed to ceasers funeral. They were thought of bottom feeders there for entertainment nothing more. They were not idolized
I would not dine at a restaurant called The Spotted 🐖 ! Sounds like a place where one catches corona virus.
😂
They acted like the name of their restaurant.
There's a restaurant called the Peddlin Pig where I live and it's actually great. Good service, professional, quality food, and always gets high ratings with the health department.
David Ellis haha he was a pig
Nah brah! You are thinking spotted bat as in you have to be bat chit crazy
Where is Oprah?!
A Immortals Legacy eating in a closet somewhere
I’ve seen a couple people make the same comment, I don’t understand the question. I haven’t watched the entire segment yet, is she mentioned?
amy raya they are implying Oprah only goes after black men who are accused of similar crimes. Like Cosby or Russel Simmons. She completely ignores anything not having to do with black men. At this point I do believe Oprah has some kind of chip on her shoulder when it comes to black men.
The best tv of its kind ever...thanks
wow, he assaulted an unconscious woman, knowing that there's a video camera in that room. so brazen
Where’s Gwyneth Paltrow, remember their food tour together?? Hmmm, speak up GP, goop🥵🤮
Yep I remember that
@@gardensofthegods A disaster, no?
She won't she also did Weinstein.
She's a grifter. That company is bs.
A restaurant moniker always represents the owner. This one says it all...
They are not remorseful. They are apologizing for getting exposed.
I heard of the spotted pig restaurant when I was a kid. I didn’t know it was that deep of lore behind it.
"Absolute power corrupts absolutely" - Lord Acton.
I may never eat in another restaurant.
I feel sorry for these ladies. It’s messed up to hear them get treated inappropriately.
Every single male I've tried to use as a professional reference through the years ALWAYS wants something inappropriate and unprofessional. I've been asked to send pics of my smile which sounds benign, but has nothing to do with providing a prof ref. Just a week ago I had to end another professional relationship because the guy tried to start a romantic long-distance relationship when I engaged about getting a data analyst position at a tech firm and thought I could count on his reference (previously agreed upon). Too many male spotted pigs out there for sure. Pathetic.
My parents used to live down the street from that spot. We always used to go when it was still 'Le Zoo' but after they became the Spotted Pig we stopped going. Too trendy. Like Blue Cheese melted all over the hamburger. No thanks! And the vibe was off. Had no idea what was going on behind the scenes but we never liked it.
I heard he changed the name of the Restaurant to "THE CRIPPLED HOG"
You have no idea until you work in a kitchen ... is another world inside there !!
14.....right wow its hard to believe no one called the police
“Mistake” “I’ve apologized “ come man! That doesn’t take away the pain and trauma these woman will deal with the rest of their life! I am a victim myself , my incident happened in a commercial kitchen as well! On top of being assaulted as a child!!!!! No apology could EVER MAKE IT RIGHT! Jail jail jail ! I have PTSD AND SUFFER FROM DEPRESSION all because of what happened! Life long trauma!!!!!!
