Showing off his cinnamon roll is what got him in the trouble. Update to this story.
Via NY Daily News:
This is a recipe for disaster.
Celebrity chef Mario Batali addressed allegations of sexual assault and harassment in a tone-deaf newsletter that included a recipe for “pizza dough cinnamon rolls.”
“I have made many mistakes and I am so very sorry…My behavior was wrong and there are no excuses. I take full responsibility,” Batali wrote.
The chef went on to thank his fans and promised to “work every day to regain your respect and trust.”
The clincher then came in the form of a postscript that read, “In case you’re searching for a holiday-inspired breakfast, these Pizza Dough Cinnamon Rolls are a fan favorite.”
