Chef. Abuse of staff. Shocking? Someone’s never worked in a kitchen before

Wow, so good of him to apologise. Sounds awful.

The New York Times report on his abuse was based on interviews with 35 former employees and described a “pattern of physical punishment” and “lasting trauma from layers of psychological abuse, including intimidation, body shaming and public ridicule”. The chef threatened to get employees blacklisted from the industry, have their families deported and have family members fired from jobs at other businesses, the report said.
