LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Eataly Las Vegas has completely cut ties with chef Mario Batali.

A spokesperson for Eataly says they have bought Batali's minority interest.

Batali was accused in 2018 of groping a woman and forcing her to kiss him while taking a selfie.

Batali's Las Vegas restaurants closed last year and he was kicked off "The Chew."

Batali pled not guilty at his arraignment in May.
