Celebrity chef Mario Batali on Wednesday settled lawsuits with two women who had accused him of sexual assault. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed.

Alexandra Brown sued Batali in 2019 and Natali Tene sued him in 2018 amid the #Metoo movement. Batali gained television fame for his many appearances on the Food Network and the ABC program "The Chew."

"The matters have been resolved to the satisfaction of all parties. We cannot comment further due to confidentiality obligations," Eric Baum and Matthew Fogelman, attorneys for the two women, said in a statement.

Batali had faced over two years in prison if convicted and would have had to register as a sex offender.

Brown accused Batali of allegedly kissing her, touching her on her thigh and touching her inappropriately without her consent in 2016.

Tene accused Batali of allegedly touching her breasts, forcefully kissing her, and grabbing her butt and inner thigh area in 2017. Tene's allegations originally included a battery charge for Batali but was dropped earlier this year, according to court filings.

In 2021, Batali faced an investigation by New York Attorney General Letitia James into allegations that Batali and other staff at his restaurants sexually harassed at least 20 employees. Batali and restaurant partner Joseph Bastianich were ordered to pay $600,000 to the accusers.

"Celebrity and fame does not absolve someone from following the law. Sexual harassment is unacceptable for anyone, anywhere — no matter how powerful the perpetrator," James said at the time.
