Mario Batali Under Criminal Investigation For Sexual Assault
Back in December of 2017, Mario Batali stepped down from his lucrative restaurant and media empire amid shocking allegations of sexual misconduct.
The accusations against Batali were appalling, to be sure, but it wasn’t long before they were overshadowed by the many other scandals of the #MeToo era.
There was a time when it was widely believed that with enough time and the right PR strategy, Batali might eventually be able to find a path to redemption and return to the industry that made him famous.
But now, a report from Anderson Cooper that aired during Sunday night’s episode of 60 Minutes seems to have exposed the very worst of Batali’s misconduct and laid waste to his hopes for a comeback.
In the segment, Cooper spoke with multiple women who claim to have been victimized by Batali.
One former employee stated that Batali groped her breasts and alleged that she saw him sexually assault another woman, who was only semi-conscious and appeared to have been drugged.
She added that she and several other employees put a stop to the attack.
Today, a spokesperson for the NYPD confirmed that police are “investigating allegations raised in the 60 Minutes report.”
One of the women who accused Batali on 60 Minutes told CNN today that she spoke with police back in February, thus indicating that the investigation has been going on for several months.
As with Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein before him, Batali’s behavior was something of an open secret in his industry.
After the public learned of the allegations that the 57-year-old had harassed and assaulted numerous female employees, several denizens of the New York restaurant world stated that they were sadly not surprised.
Over the course of his decades as a chef and media personality, Batali had developed a reputation for crude comments and predatory behavior.
“You will eat your pasta or I will rub the shrimp across your breasts,” he told a friend’s wife during a now-infamous meal that was later documented in print.
“It’s not fair I have this view all to myself when you bend over. For dessert, would you take off your blouse for the others?” he remarked to a waitress during the same dinner.
But even those who long been aware of Batali’s penchant for boorish behavior are shocked today by the revelation that he may have drugged and assaulted several women that he employed.
Batali declined to be interviewed by 60 Minutes, but he issued a statement reading in part:
“My past behavior has been deeply inappropriate and I am sincerely remorseful for my actions.”
We will have further updates on this situation as more information becomes available.

Jim Bob Duggar: Under Investigation For Criminal Business Practices?
Jim Bob Duggar has made a name for himself preaching the virtues of humility, modesty, and Christian charity.
However, there are those who believe that the reality star’s lifestyle doesn’t align with his ideals and that Jim Bob has proven chronically unable to practice what he preaches.
It goes without saying that the Duggar patriarch has made millions from his vast media empire.
But what many fans may not realize is that Jim Bob’s business aspirations don’t end there.
Over the years, he’s been involved in everything from politics to real estate, and he shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
Jim Bob has sold used cars; he’s launched a towing and repair company; he even bought up a large tract of land near his hometown so that he could lease it to a communications company that hoped to build a transmission tower there.
Basically, if you’re spending money in or around Tontitown, Arkansas, there’s a very good chance Jim Bob is getting a portion of it.
Locals have taken to calling the area “Duggartown,” and not surprisingly, there are many who take issue with a private citizen amassing such an incredible amount of power – and some of those folks share Jim Bob’s last name.
A former Duggar employee informs The Hollywood Gossip that Jim Bob’s second-oldest son, John David Duggar, has clashed with his father repeatedly in recent years.
The issue, it seems is that John David feels Jim Bob has been consumed by greed and reckless spending, and he fears that his father is putting the family at risk, not only by rolling the dice with their savings, but also by constantly butting heads with local authorities.
Just last week, Jim Bob outraged his neighbors with his efforts to have protected land re-zoned for public use so that he could develop it into a “high-end RV park” for the type of Ozark campers who seek to bring their living rooms into the wilderness.
The project has attracted loads of negative publicity, as well as questions about the legality of Jim Bob’s re-zoning efforts.
And now, it appears that this isn’t the first time that Jim Bob’s business initiatives have brought him into murky legal territory in recent years.
The first such incident occurred way back in 1988 when Jim Bob launched a business called Save-N-Go, INC.
Three years later, the Department of the Arkansas Secretary of State revoked Jim Bob’s license upon realizing that he had failed to file an annual report, likely in an effort to conceal his earnings from the IRS.
Jim Bob has run afoul of state and federal governments on several subsequent occasions, with one notable incident occurring just last year:
According to Radar Online, Jim Bob and Michelle launched Duggar Processing, LLC – an umbrella corporation to encompass all of their many business ventures – in May of 2015.
The company was shut down in January of 2017 when once again, Jim Bob’s business license was revoked.
This time authorities claimed that the Duggars had filed to meet tax document requirements in each year that the business had been operational.
Now, many believe that the locals who oppose Jim Bob’s RV park will get their wish, as the project appears to be dead in the water, likely as a result of an investigation into Jim Bob’s long history of shady business ventures.
It’s not always easy to answer the question “what would Jesus do?” but we’re pretty sure the correct response is never “constantly break the law and screw your neighbors in order to line your pockets.”
