Default Celebrity chef Mario Batali ordered to pay $5.25 million for skimming tips from his restaurant help

Batali, it's not OK to try and cheat your workers out of money that they rightfully earned!!

The settlement covered staff who worked for Batali’s restaurants from July 2004 through February of 2012. According to the complaint, filed by Stephanie Capsolas and Hernan Alvardo, a waitress and a kitchen runner at Babbo, workers say their hard-earned tips — in some cases as much as 5 percent of the nightly wine sales went to supplement Batali's & business partners own profits.

Even though this was settled in 2012 it still makes my blood boil whenever I see this jerk! I mean really, how low can one sink to steal money from staff that are making him money! What I wouldn't give to shove a pair of those orange croc' up his ass!

It's not okay to lie and say you know what you're doing when you don't. Especially when it comes to -
Arc welding
Handling plumbing repairs
Filing taxes
Driving while intoxicated
Messing around with electricity
Tearing apart the dishwasher
Penetration of any sort
Washing angora sweaters and
Babysitting any living thing!!!

Default Mario Batali, it NOT OK to...........

equate sexual harassment with "fun"!

This is just a portion of his lame ass apology!

“I apologize to the people I have mistreated and hurt. Although the identities of most of the individuals mentioned in these stories have not been revealed to me, much of the behavior described does, in fact, match up with ways I have acted. 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.

It's not okay for racist white women to call the police on black people living their lives. I hope there are going to be consequences for these folks beyond public shaming. They should be charged with wasting police time or something.

Default James Patterson............

While out on your current book tour promoting the book you've collaborated with Clinton on, it's not OK nor is it your job to save his ass when it's on the hot seat!

I'm thinking that if it had been your daughter that Clinton had used a cigar on, as a sexual aid, or received blow jobs from, you'd not so easily slough it off as you tried during the interview with NBC's Craig Melvin!

Remember 'If you lie down with dogs, you will get up with fleas'.

It's not OK to keep whining and playing the "victim" card about coming out of the White House with 16 million dollars of debt!

I'm thinking that debt was racked up in legal fees needed to hire law firms to protect you from all your shenanigans and bold face lies you told before having to come clean!

Default Dear friend,

Yes, President Clinton did lie and get BJs from a staffer, both of which were unconscionable. I was appalled at his responses during the interview which he participated with Patterson. These were not okay to do.

The man was not as horrible a president as we've had. After all, he did get us DADT which was a crucial stepping stone to President Obama's passage of complete civil rights legislation for LGBT persons.

Am only giving credit where credit is due which is okay to do.
