The sex abuse and assault scandal engulfing Hollywood since the mass accusations against producer Harvey Weisntein is now reaching the kitchen of renowned chef Todd English.

This weekend The New York Post published that a woman named Gabrielle Eubank claims that the celebrated chef, best known for his Food Trip with Todd English (PBS) program, sexually harassed her by giving her unwanted hugs and constantly kissing her on the cheek.

The lawsuit, which goes against The Plaza Hotel in New York and its most famous cook, indicates that this harassment took place in the English Food Hall and that not only English but other members of its staff harassed her in this way.

This is not the first woman to complain about the behavior of the author and businessman. In August, six of their former and current employees filed a similar complaint alleging that they have been forced to work in support of the "rape culture" that they say is consented to at the Food Hall.

In the court papers filed by Eubank's attorneys, it is stated that "Mr. English began to flagrantly propose to Mrs. Eubanks, telling her that she was 'sexy' and that he was 'surprised that she was still single.' It is also indicated that he also tried to "kiss her on the lips, forcing her to move away."

In the other lawsuit documents, which include hospitality coordinator Dana Lewis and hostess C rystal Washington, it is stated that “The employees [at the Food Hall] are forced to endure a culture of a different kind: the culture of rape". Furthermore, these court documents ensure that male staff members are sexually suggestive with pens, cucumbers and bananas and are known for expressing to their female colleagues their desire to possess them sexually, in vulgar and explicit words.
