jcbrown May 30, 2018 Share May 30, 2018 (edited) Mario's perversity: the gift that keeps on giving. So many people had to have known about this for so long before it brought down his empire. It makes me furious and sad that he got away with it for so long. https://ny.eater.com/2018/5/30/17407834/mario-batali-misconduct-fans-photos That Eater piece is very thorough and includes some pictures and some accounts that were contemporaneously corroborated. It's pretty horrifying. It also sounds like Mario may be an alcoholic. Edited May 30, 2018 by jcbrown 3 Link to comment

In the earlier days of food Network, I used to watch Molto Mario, along with Ina Garten and Giada. I really only have admiration for only one now. Guess who? 2 Link to comment

I'm glad you stated that, because I was kind of thinking that's what would be happening at some point (if it hadn't happened already), but I don't know how these investigations work so I thought I might be completely off base. I'm guessing that everyone who regularly/frequently worked with/interacted with Mario in front of and behind the camera on The Chew, between 2011 and 2017, will have to be questioned about Mario at some point. And now we know (according to the article that jcbrown linked above) that Mario's antics allegedly continued to take place as recently as fall 2017 -- so it's not like he stopped this behavior 10 years ago or something and changed his ways. He supposedly continued on until as recently as October (not long before he was gone from The Chew). Edited May 31, 2018 by TVFan17 1 Link to comment
