That behavior was wrong and there are no excuses. I take full responsibility and am deeply sorry for any pain, humiliation or discomfort I have caused to my peers, employees, customers, friends and family.
“I have work to do to try to regain the trust of those I have hurt and disappointed. For this reason, I am going to step away from day-to-day operations of my businesses. We built these restaurants so that our guests could have fun and indulge, but I took that too far in my own behavior. I won’t make that mistake again. I want any place I am associated with to feel comfortable and safe for the people who work or dine there.

Why are these assholes never embarrassed by their actions UNTIL they get caught?

Mario Batali has been accused of sexual harassment and assault by numerous women. This week a judge found him NOT guilty in one of these instances!

Throughout the trial, Batali's attorneys sought to undermine the accuser's credibility and used obtained text messages to claim she was financially movited.

Now I have no idea if Natali Tene was financially motivated or not, but I do know that a legal system that constantly attacks "victims" prevent many from coming forward.
