chef Alon Shaya, who is in the midst of a contentious split from the group, has released a statement on the allegations from 25 women. He says his decision to reach out to the Times-Pic with his concerns about its lack of human resources resulted in his termination as executive chef of Domenica, Pizza Domenica, and namesake restaurant, Shaya. The paper was already conducting its months-long investigation.

In a Facebook post, Shaya says that on “multiple occasions over the years” he asked Besh Restaurant Group to provide human resources support for its restaurants, but “each overture [he] made was summarily rejected.”
