A sexual harassment investigation into a famed New York restaurant has prompted a separate inquiry into celebrity chef Mario Batali, the state's attorney general said
New York Attorney General Letitia James on Tuesday said Batali was not named in the primary investigation into the conditions at The Spotted Pig because he was not a principal owner and didn't have control over conditions there."However, as a result of our investigation we have received credible information about his alleged actions and are therefore are separately looking into him, his business partner, his management company and his three restaurants," James said.
The Spotted Pig is a gastropub that opened in 2004.The AG's office said the investigation into The Spotted Pig found there was"a hostile workplace where numerous female employees were subjected to severe and pervasive incidents of unwanted touching and unwelcome sexual advances by Friedman."The attorney general announced a settlement with Friedman for $240,000 and a 10-year profit-sharing arrangement for 11 former employees.
