Mario Batali steps away from business, TV show amid sexual misconduct allegations

[Dr. Who]

. No, but it has a lot to do with not condemning it.

Hey, I haven't supported this behavior in anyone, left or right. Some of it seems a little less aggressive than others, but Weinstein for instance is the lowest of the low, with the possible exception of Moore, if the allegations of the woman who was only 14 when she was allegedly abused by him have any merit and TBH, I think if he was messing with a 16-year-old when he was over thirty, he's a creep. Personal opinion.

Unfortunately, I can never look at Batali the same way again.

Goddammit, not Batali too. Oh well. Good that he stepped away from his business and TV show. Now people need to stop buying his stuff.

At least he didn't deny it. Object lesson for others, there are eventual consequences for this kind of arrogant disregard. Karma's a b***ch.

Accusations against him were surprising. However, are you suggesting or of the mind that anyone who denies the accusations is lying?

Tyler Florence be like, "Yo, I'm still available folks!!!!"

Of course Food Network will use it as an opportunity to launch some other derivative cooking contest show.

Does Mario have a product line? There is nothing better at creating the chance to get over-priced celebrity chef wares for less than cheap Chinese knockoffs like a good scandal. Got some killer heavy gauge, high quality baking sheets for a couple bucks each when some celebrity or another got picked up on a DUI.

Which is another way of saying allegations are usually true.

Just another fat slob who thinks his junk is special.

Clue: It's probably as ugly as his hideous face and gut.
