Marinated Pork Shoulder Mario Batali Forfeits His 16 Restaurants Following Sexual Assault Allegations

Source: Randy Brooke / Getty Mario Batali Forfeits 16 Restaurants Behind Sexual Assault Allegations As we previously reported , chef Mario Batali has been accused of numerous sexual assault allegations and today we find out exactly what those allegations have cost him. His career. According to The New York Times , Batali and his restauranteur business partners in the Bastianich family have officially ended their partnership and Mario Batali is no longer the owner and proprietor of 16 restaurants. Mr. Batali “will no longer profit from the restaurants in any way, shape or form,” said Tanya Bastianich Manuali, who will head day-to-day operations at a new company, as yet unnamed, created to replace the Batali & Bastianich Hospitality Group. But the restaurant isn’t the only source of income that the salt-crusted chef is losing because of his sick sexual misconduct with women… Mr. Batali is also selling his shares in Eataly, the fast-growing global chain of luxury Italian supermarkets. “Eataly is in the process of acquiring Mr. Batali’s minority interest in Eataly USA,” said Chris Giglio, a spokesman for that company. Now please see the nearest exit with your pathetic whataboutism.

Tristan Thompson Shrugs Off Cheating Scandal: This is Just Who I Am!

Tristan Thompson is known for doing the dirty work on the basketball court. He sets screens. He crashes the boards. He dives to the basketball on a pick and roll. And the same thing can now be said about Tristan Thompson away from the basketball court, too. He’s a dirty player who lies, deceives and just hooks up with anyone that possesses boobs, regardless of the affect it might have on Khloe Kardashian. As you undoubtedly have read about by now,  Khloe finally dumped Tristan  after he was yet again caught cheating on her. This time, however, Thompson didn’t just go hard to the hole with some random Instagram models, as he was captured doing on camera in the fall of 2017. No: this time, he made an inappropriate post move with Jordyn Woods, Kylie Jenner’s best friend and a close acquaintance of his long-tine girlfriend. Multiple outlets have confirmed that Thompson went out with Woods and a bunch of people on Sunday night. He then invited this group back to his house to continue the party, but mostly focused his attention on the 21-year old he’s known for several months. The two sat on a couch for most of the evening, flirted a lot, allegedly made out and possibly did even more than that. After Khloe learned about what happened , she kicked Thompson to the curb. For good this time, we sincerely hope. Was it really surprising that Tristan would cheat again? No, not in our opinion. It’s just surprising he’d so with Woods, someone who has been a member of the Jenner-Kardashian inner circle for years. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian: Tristan Thompson CONFESSED to Banging Jordyn Woods! (And It Was All Caught on Camera?!) “Tristan isn’t a manipulative person,” an insider tells Us Weekly of Thompson, kind of defending the 27-year old, but then saying of the power forward: “He’s just a cheater and doesn’t care about anyone besides himself, his wants and his needs in the moment.” As far as we can tell, Khloe and Tristan were nearing a break-up long before he he engaged in a full court bodily press with Woods, who has been kicked out of her home by Kylie . The stars had not been seen out in public since January 13 and Khloe has shared numerous cryptic quotes on Instagram about love over the past mont or so. This same tabloid source alleges that Thompson thought the romance was basically over, which is why his warped and self-centered mind didn’t think twice about entering Woods. “He doesn’t even think him hooking up with Jordyn is ‘bad’ because him and Khloé [Kardashian] were broken up in his mind. He just truly doesn’t care,” Us Weekly writes. Of course, even if Tristan and Khloe had officially called it quits prior to this hook-up, it barely gets the former off the hook. Is it really too much to ask of him not to bang a friend of his girlfriend’s within days of a split? Apparently it is in this case. Thompson and Kardashian attended Jordyn’s 21st birthday party together in September. Woods also modeled for Khloe’s Good American clothing brand. They were very tight and this is just an effed up situation all around. “Khloe loved Jordyn before this. This is completely shocking to Khloé’s family,” this insider adds. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian to Tristan Thompson: Yes, You Cheated! God, You Suck! Because these stars share a 10-month old daughter, Thompson will remain in Khloe’s life going forward. But neither side is about to try and make things work again. “Tristan isn’t too worried about not seeing True, or Khloe establishing new rules when it comes to coparenting,” another source tells Us, concluding” “He honestly doesn’t really care and was over it. He was never trying to win Khloe back.” Yeah. That much is obvious.

Hey friends meet @jessclarke_!” Ben wrote to his 1.3 million followers.  “I successfully slide into her DM’s a few months ago. I took a risk and I am glad I did. She is someone special, and I look forward to where life is going to take us.” The former reality star continued, “Stay tuned for the journey. In addition, this picture was taken this week in Honduras. I got to spend some time with an incredible group of people from all over the USA on a @generous_coffee_adventure. Life is good!”  “This is the most fantastic, heartwarming thing! I’m so happy for you!!!” Ashely Laconetti shared in the comments section. Wells Adams also added, “#HottyToddy.” Not only is he Instagram official with the new girl, but he also travels overseas with her?! We can expect a proposal any day now.  In this week’s episode of Ben’s iHeartRadio podcast, his co-host Ashley announced that Jessica will be a guest on the Almost Famous show this coming Monday.  Back in January, Ben first revealed on his podcast that he had been dating someone and that they are currently long distance.  He successfully kept her identity a secret, as did his loyal friends.  But they did let us in on how happy he was.  “Everybody is buzzing about this. No [I haven’t met her], but I know that they’ve been going back and forth on flights to see each other over the past couple of months,” Ashley revealed to E! News at OK! Magazine’s Pre-Grammys party.  This is Ben’s first love interest since  his split from Lauren Bushnell .  The two got engaged on the season 20 finale of The Bachelor in 2016, yet never went through with the wedding .  “He definitely seems very happy.”  But who even is this brunette beauty who has stolen Ben’s heart?  Here is everything we have learned about Jessica:  1. No, she has nothing to do with The Bachelor franchise.  2. She graduated from The University of Mississippi with a Bachelor’s Degree in Integrated Marketing and Communications in May. “My time at Ole Miss taught me that I have no control over my life and man am I thankful for that!” she captioned her graduation pic. “It wasn’t what I expected, but was far better. Thanks for my best friends.”  3. She has two attractive brothers.  “Last game day as a Landshark and I got BOTH of my brothers with me in my favorite place, best day ever…hotty toddy,” she captioned another Instagram post.  4. Jessica also appears to have a Maltipoo named Penny.  And though being a dog mom and having a college degree isn’t too unusual for girls today, she does run marathons.   Pretty impressive.  5. She also was a college athlete and ran track and cross country at Ole Miss.  The 23-year-old posted a photo after completing the Rock ‘n’ Roll Nashville Marathon in 2017. “Came out of retirement for my city,” she wrote beside the photo.  6. And as for work? Well, she sells LED lighting for a living. She works at Valet Energy in Nashville and has been the Key Account Manager for several months.  And when it came time for Jessica’s reveal, she kept it sweet and simple.  “My secret boyfriend, Ben!” she shared.  “He has one of the biggest hearts and kindest spirits, I got to share Honduras with him this past week and I’m excited for many more adventures!” Ok, we admit they are too cute.  And if you want more, tune into The Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast on Monday for their first public “hello” to the world as an official couple!  View Slideshow: Lauren Bushnell: Ben Higgins’ Bachelor Bride-to-Be!

Temptation Island Recap: Another Relationship Crumbles!

The couples appear to be dropping like flies on Temptation Island.  That’s sort of what happens when you go on a reality show that makes couples live apart in houses that have various singles.  The show went for a refreshing take to the second dates: The couples got the opportunity to choose which of the eligible singles they wanted to go on a date with. This was done well away from the prying eyes of their significant others.  Did this lead to jealous couples leaving the island with the fear that the dates went a little too well? Not a chance in hell.  Kaci was still not impressed by Evan’s antics. She wanted her boyfriend to realize that their relationship was worth salvaging, but she was not ruling out getting close to her date Justin.  Justin was easy on the eyes and had a no-nonsense approach to cheating. In short, he was the polar opposite of Evan.  “My date with Justin actually taught me a lot, and it just really opened my eyes that if Evan does blindside me at the end of this that I really need to move on and cut that out of my life,” Kaci admitted, adding: “It’s not what I deserve.” She had a point, but why did she need to come on TV to come to that conclusion?  Evan is an ass, and Kaci needs to cut him out of her life before leaving the island.  Then there was Nicole. Her guard was up during the date with Jack, and for most of her relationship with Karl.  “I’m realizing that Karl and I haven’t opened up as deeply as I thought in our relationship, and being able to open up and be vulnerable with somebody I just met — it’s a whole new perspective to me on our relationship and what I really need to be striving for,” she said in a confessional. Maybe she has a point, but does she have cause to drop Karl like a hot potato at this stage?  Probably not.  Elsewhere, Evan was all about trying to bury the hatchet with Morgan, and it seems like there’s actually some chemistry between them.  Spending more time together, they seemed to agree there could be something there if they worked on it.  “I did not think this was gonna happen like this,” Evan said in his confessional. “I’d be lying if I said I’m not going to explore whatever she’s got.” But the drama switched into high gear when Evan was shown the video of Kaci’s date, and her chatting about his status as a cheater.  “I’m not a cheater anymore, man, and that hurts,” Evan said as though he was about to burst out crying.  Maybe this show should be called Karma Island because something tells me Evan is going to be bawling the whole season when Kaci finds her upgrade.  Temptation Island continues Tuesdays on USA Network.

Chicago Officer Jason Van Dyke Sentenced To Just Six Years In Prison For Laquan McDonald Murder

Source: Scott Olson / Getty Jason Van Dyke Sentenced To Six Years For Laquan McDonald Shooting Chicago Police officer Jason Van Dyke has been sentenced to 81 months, (6 years and 9 months) in prison and two years of mandatory supervised release for the murder of 17-year old Laquan McDonald . Van Dyke was convicted in October of second-degree murder and 16 counts of aggravated battery, one for each shot Van Dyke fired that struck McDonald. Back in 2014, the officer shot Laquan 16 times after responding to police calls for assistance. Van Dyke claimed that he fired after McDonald failed to comply with demands to drop a knife he was holding and made a threatening move toward police. USA Today reports: Prosecutors had asked Judge Vincent Gaughan to sentence Van Dyke to a prison term of 18 to 20 years. His defense team had asked that he be released on probation Illinois state law requires he serve at least 50 percent of the sentence. He’s already served about three months as he awaited sentencing, so Van Dyke could be out of prison in a little more than three years. Since the fatal shooting, all Chicago officers are required to wear body cameras and the three officers who allegedly “covered up” his actions have been acquitted . Prosecutors suggested up to 96 years for his crime. Before the sentencing, a judge received 200 letters begging for leniency for Van Dyke and his wife emotionally read one asking that he be set free. According to her he “paid the ultimate price.” “He has paid the ultimate price. He will no longer be a police officer. His life is over,” said the wife in court. “He has paid the ultimate price. He will no longer be a police officer. His life is over” – Jason Van Dyke’s wife pleads with court to let her husband come home.
