A Complete Timeline Of Mario Batali's Downfall

March 6, 2019—The New York Times reports Batali has finally been dissolved from all of his restaurant partnerships. According to Tanya Bastianich Manuali, formally of the Batali & Bastianich Hospitality Group, he now "will no longer profit from the restaurants in any way, shape or form.”

A new Eater investigation publishes the accounts of seven additional women who allege Batali touched them without their consent. Eater also published video clips from two of the women showing their encounters with Batali. He declined to comment for the piece.

May 25, 2018 — Joe Bastianich confirms three of Batali's restaurants will close on July 27. The restaurants — Carnevino Italian Steakhouse, B&B Ristorante and Otto Enoteca e Pizzeria — are all located on the Las Vegas Strip. "These restaurants have continued to succeed, and they are a tribute to every one of you who works in them and brings great dining experiences to our guests," he wrote. "Unfortunately, our partner in these restaurants, Las Vegas Sands Corp., has decided to end our relationship."

May 22, 2018 — The next day, TMZ reports that though mariobatalisauces.com announced after the first allegations against Batali came out that they were donating their proceeds to Women Employed, the women's organization, "hasn't received a dime because no deal was ever struck."

In fact, the group said in a statement that, "this donation did not move forward because distributors did not want to be associated with Batali and pulled the product from their shelves."

May 20, 2018 — On an episode of 60 Minutes, Anderson Cooper speaks to a group of Batali's former female employees, all of whom allege he harassed, assaulted, and terrified them. Batali allegedly assaulted at least two women while they were unconscious, one of whom says she went to the New York Police Department's Special Victims Division after the 2005 party where the abuse happened (the woman declined to file a police report). That night, the NYPD confirmed it was investigating the claims against Batali.

Mario Batali then issued a statement that said "I vehemently deny the allegation that I sexually assaulted this woman."

December 11, 2017 — The Food Network immediately freezes its order of six more episodes of Molto Mario. Per Eater, the show had already been filmed and was set to air in 2018.

December 11, 2017 — Chef Tom Colicchio replies to Anthony Bourdain's "It’s Batali. And it’s bad" tweet following the Eater article to say, "and no one should be surprised." Bourdain's girlfriend, Asia Argento, is one of the tens of women who've accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault.
