Mario Batali, the former host of “The Chew” who stands accused of sexual misconduct, issued an apology to fans on Friday through his newsletter and inexplicably ended it with a recipe for cinnamon rolls.
He’s the idiot in orange. No, the other idiot.
So far, eight women have come forward to say Batali groped them, made sexually explicit comments or other unwanted sexual advances. One particularly disturbing anecdote in The New York Times described Batali “groping and kissing a woman who appeared to be unconscious” in a New York restaurant’s so-called “rape room.”
“I have made many mistakes and I am so very sorry that I have disappointed my friends, my family, my fans and my team. My behavior was wrong and there are no excuses. I take full responsibility,” Batali wrote in the letter, his most recent in a series of apologetic statements.
“Sharing the joys of Italian food, tradition and hospitality with all of you, each week, is an honor and privilege. Without the support of all of you ― my fans ― I would never have a forum in which to expound on this,” he continued. “I will work every day to regain your respect and trust.”
And then, the tone-deaf kicker: “ps. in case you’re searching for a holiday-inspired breakfast, these Pizza Dough Cinnamon Rolls are a fan favorite.”
The incredible speed at which Batali switched from self-reflection to food sparked criticisms from observers on social media.

Never quite figured out how that disgusting fucking slob ever got famous. Just look at him. He looks like he just woke up from a week long bender, scraped the vomit off his chest, threw on whatever was lying around on the floor in easy reach, and showed up to the goddamn White House.
TheMule’s comments are a pretty good description of Moochelle as well!!
That glaze looks funny to me.
Truly bizarre.
I’ve been accused of sexual assault by eight people. My bad. Here’s a recipe sugar cookies that will have Santa climbing down your chimney.
Wow…the view of Mooch with that skirt reminds me of the leg lamp in Christmas Story.
“…ended it with a recipe for cinnamon rolls.”
So the adults get cinnamon rolls, not pizza. Got it.
I have my suspicions about this. Pics, or it didn’t happen. Really? Mario Batalli? GMAFB.
And as we, as a society, slide closer to the abyss, women will find themselves shunned. “Where are all the (good) men?” “Why can’t I get a date?” Any man who cares about his own future, will stay away from women like the plague.
My wife actually watches that show.
I still love her…
KMM, it reminds me of those guys on stilts at Busch Gardens.
“I’m sorry for raping. Have you tried my biscuits and gravy?”
@Thirdtwin……you made me laugh! Yes, it does!!
I thought he was gay and I can’t stand him either. Smug, fat slob, self righteous.
Jesus dude stop over eating and lose some weight. How can people walk around that huge.
I’d be so embarrassed. I was 50 pounds overweight when I was 22 and I started swimming and going to the gym.
Now I’m 6’6″ 250 and no blubber and it ain’t easy. You have to work at it. Everyday
Cinnamon rolls.
Makes sense.
Was that picture from the set of “The Wizard of Oz” or “Zardoz”?
I guess I’m sorry I violated you girls.
Ok! Now…..who wants to play Hide the Cannoli?!?
It looks like pork meatloaf.
You notice mooch is taller than everyone. What a freak
Nuthin sez “I’m Sorry” like:
“Eat me, I’m a cinnamon roll”!
all is time I thought he was queer
nothing and I mean NOTHING says “…I have given up on life like crocs”
I remember good times eating at Howard Johnsons. How dare they.
Well, at least it was adult females rather than little boys…
Oh my gosh. I think I tried to forget just how badly Michelle dressed. What a nightmare.
A clear illustration of the lack of taste in fashion, Michelle posssessed, especially in comparison to other First Ladies.
I wonder just how many criminals obama welcomed to OUR White House. Disgusting.
Well, bite my cannoli….
Only a closed-minded bigot would have a problem with a lawyer being rich, a doctor being poor or a successful chef being fat. Batali was good enough to work side by side with fashion model Carla Hall, who no doubt has had her ass patted by hundreds of men.
Try some brain calisthenics.
“Sorry I humped your buns. Here’s a recipe, you can make more.”
I’ve heard people say that the chews control the entire world.
“Eat me, I’m a Danish!”
You realize, of course, that all this bullshit is just to legitimize Sharia?
There is a great push on to vilify all man/women interactions while the homosexual aspects of man/man and woman/woman are completely repressed by the “news.”
Why is that?
Who’s behind the curtain?
For what purpose are we being led to believe these accusations?
Are the accusations “true” in any legal and/or moral sense, or has the accusation become the conviction?
Why this “shotgun” effect? The nets seem to have been widely cast, no?
But heterosexually selective?
izlamo delenda est …
No surprise here! I only let my wife sexually molest me after she bakes me cinnamon rolls. Darn, I need to go on a diet I’ve gained 20 pounds lately!
Who’s the linebacker in a skirt? Yucko!
This stuff is such rich fodder, the cows will make delicious cheese steaks.
Sooo, President Trump SAYS as a celebrity he COULD do what apparently democrat celebrities are doing everywhere?
I hope he washed his hands.
