Pastry chef Tariq Hanna, co-founder of the New Orleans dessert brand Sucré, was accused of sexual misconduct with several former employees, according to a report from nola.com. Last summer, Sucre announced that Hanna had resigned from his role at the company. Hanna did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Advocate. The report from nola.com writer Brett Anderson said that prior to Hanna's departure, multiple employees had raised complaints about Hanna related to his interactions with female staff. Citing multiple current and former Sucré employees, the report says Hanna engaged in "sexually exploitative treatment of female staffers," including the hosting of topless pool parties at his home and sexually suggestive conversations he had with female employees, among other allegations. In addition, three women, who asked to remain anonymous, told nola.com they had sex with Hanna on Sucré property during work hours.
