Celebrity chef Mario Batali has agreed to settle lawsuits by two women alleging he sexually assaulted them in separate encounters in Boston, one of whose accusations were the focus of a #MeToo-era criminal prosecution that ended in his acquittal.
Lawyers for Natali Tene, whose claims were at the heart of Batali's trial in May, and Alexandra Brown confirmed late Tuesday they had resolved their separate lawsuits in state court in Boston against Batali.
"The matters have been resolved to the satisfaction of all parties," attorney attorneys Eric Baum and Matthew Fogelman said in a joint statement. "We cannot comment further due to confidentiality obligations."The docket in Tene's case showed that a hearing set for Tuesday was recently called off because the case had been settled.
Tene's lawyers also represented Brown, who separately sued Batali in 2019 and accused him of similarly sexually assaulting her while posing for selfies at a different Boston restaurant in 2016.Reporting by Nate Raymond in Boston, Editing by Alexia Garamfalvi
