1ºEllen Katz reject (something) in a contemptuous way. "opponents scorned his offer to negotiate"
I believe he was found not guilty that is what I read! I do understand it is a very sensitive issue for many people and I’m not condoning abuse in any way.
I am saying it should not be published until a verdict is rendered. It should not be tried in a public court. There are many attention and monetary seekers in this world. That is why we have trial by judge or jury of your peers!
Have a great evening and be safe! ️
** In no way at any time is my closing sentence of safety to be considered sarcastic or a threat!
2ºPatricia McIntyre not entirely correct. I am saying yes it does happen often I’m told, I personally have never witnessed that behavior but I’m also saying there are many many attention seekers who just like to start trouble and in this matter people and employers need to remember not everyone is guilty and no no no penalty should be conducted in the public forum. You are innocent until proven guilty and during the heavily publicized Me Too movement men were falling like crazy and losing there jobs and families not to mention the time and financial resources of representation and court fees. Have a great day and be safe! ️
3ºHe went through this and paid thousands because someone sincerely thought they were wronged. A highly sensitive person will always feel wronged by someone in their life time! Does that mean we press charges or get the courts involved each time? Some people say yes and have no regards to cost or the courts time which is fully backed up from silliness! Me too I was aggressively and sexually approached by an older woman, did I complain no I didn’t I removed myself from the situation with the least amount of pleasure as possible! Guess I should’ve read the article!
Have a great day and be safe! ️
4ºBatali did not deny all the allegations, saying that they “match up” with ways he has behaved.
“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.
"I know my actions have disappointed many people. The successes I have enjoyed are owned by everyone on my team. The failures are mine alone. To the people who have been at my side during this time — my family, my partners, my employees, my friends, my fans — I am grateful for your support and hopeful that I can regain your respect and trust. I will spend the next period of time trying to do that.”
