Years later, he was eventually charged with indecent assault and battery after he was accused of aggressively kissing and groping a woman while they took a selfie. He ended up being found not guilty in that case.
Now, one of his accusers has identified herself and is going on the record in the documentary.

TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual assault.
Eva DeVirgilis was a former employee of Batali’s at his restaurant Babbo.
Eva said that one night, in 2005, he allegedly took her to the gastro pub, The Spotted Pig, where Batali was an investor. In the limo ride over, he allegedly plied her with alcohol.
“I was so naïve,” she said (via the New York Times). “I knew not to walk across Central Park at night or to be alone in a stairwell. I didn’t know I should be afraid of my millionaire celebrity boss in a public place.”
Eva says she woke up the following morning on the floor of a private room in the pub and allegedly found scratches on her body and semen on her clothing.
Eva also added that she allegedly remembers Batali kissing her and throwing up in the bathroom with him behind her.
You can watch Eva‘s full account of the story in the documentary, airing tomorrow.

The entrepreneur and star of “The Real Housewives of New York” filed a federal lawsuit against ByteDance’s TikTok, the hugely popular short-form video app, alleging that TikTok has ignored her requests to remove unauthorized content that misappropriates her likeness. The lawsuit, which seeks class-action status, demands unspecified monetary damages and a permanent injunction barring TikTok from misusing the “personas, voices, content and/or likenesses” of Frankel and other potential members of the class. “Despite demands on TikTok to remove and police this corrupt conduct, TikTok has ignored such demands, and even taken countervailing positions,” Frankel’s lawsuit says. “Aside from not being compensated, the reputation and brand of Ms. Frankel and Class Members are being damaged and tarnished through unauthorized associations with counterfeit goods and other products that they do not support.”
