Mario Batali Included a Holiday Recipe With Sexual Harassment Apology
Mario Batali is getting harsh criticism for including a recipe in a statement apologizing for sexual misconduct allegations made against him.
“As many of you know, this week there has been some news coverage about some of my past behavior,” he stated in a newsletter. “I have made many mistakes and I am so very sorry that I have disappointed my friends, my family, my fans and my team. My behavior was wrong and I take full responsibility. Sharing the joys of Italian food, tradition and hospitality with all of you, each week, is an honor and privilege. Without the support of all of you — my fans — I would never have a forum to expound on this. I will work every day to regain your respect and trust.”
At the end of the statement, he added: “In case you’re searching for a holiday-inspired breakfast, these Pizza Dough Cinnamon Rolls are a fan favorite,” with a link to the recipe.
“Sorry for being a serial sexual predator. Here’s a recipe for cinnamon rolls.” You can’t make this shit up. https://t.co/bEvXaCLid8
