Celebrity chef Mario Batali has been accused of sexual misconduct by at least four women. Three of the women worked for Batali. ABC has asked Batali to “step away” from his cooking show, “The Chew,” while the allegations are under review. Batali, 57, told The Associated Press that the complaints “match up” with his past behavior.
