News about Joe Bastianich

On Wednesday's episode of The Masked Singer on Fox, Joe Bastianich revealed his identity after appearing as Spaghetti & Meatballs. During the season 11 Billy Joel Night episode starring Robin Thicke, Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, and Rita Ora, the 55-year-old celebrity chef stumped the panel, which featured Poodle Moth, Clock, and Lizard.

In a recent documentary, a woman who worked with A-list chef Mario Batali in her 20s in New York has given an extensive account of the suspected sexual assault he perpetrated against her. Eva DeVirgilis, now 43, was an employee at Batali's flagship Greenwich Village restaurant Babbo in 2005, when the celebrity chef invited her to a late night gathering at the Spotted Pig, another New York hotspot where Batali was an investor. DeVirgilis was assaulted while unconscious and awakened the next morning in the restaurant. A rape kit test was conducted, but DeVirgilis refused to hand it over to cops fearing a backlash as she sought to establish her career. In the forthcoming Batali: The Fall of a Superstar Chef, a documentary that premieres on Discovery+ on Thursday, DeVirgilis will tell the world.
