Mario Batali Has Divested From His Restaurants After #MeToo Scandal: What We Do and Don’t Know | Eater
"Part of the B&B Hospitality group long associated with Mario Batali, this restaurant continued to generate income that indirectly benefited Batali until the Bastianich family purchased his shares; Batali had publicly “stepped away” in 2018 and agreed not to enter the restaurants, but the recent buyout was presented as removing the risk that diners would be putting money into the pocket of the man accused of groping employees, even as questions about the sale’s financial terms and accountability remain." - Hillary Dixler Canavan
