Mario Batali pleaded not guilty, was released and was ordered to stay away from a woman who says he forcibly kissed and groped her.
Chef Mario Batali arrives for arraignment, Friday, May 24, 2019, at municipal court in Boston, on charges he forcibly kissed and groped a woman at a Boston restaurant in 2017.
The court entered a not guilty plea on his behalf to a charge of indecent assault and battery. Batali was released on his own recognizance. He will not have to appear at the next hearing, scheduled for July 12. The woman filed a civil lawsuit against Batali in August, seeking unspecified damages for “severe emotional distress.”“He intends to fight the allegations vigorously and we expect the outcome to fully vindicate Mr. Batali,” attorney Anthony Fuller said in an emailed statement on Wednesday.“Mr. Batali must be held accountable criminally and civilly for his despicable acts,” lawyers Eric Baum and Matthew Fogelman said in an email to media.
He stepped down from operations of his restaurants and was kicked off the ABC show “The Chew” in 2017 after four women accused him of inappropriate touching.
