the exec chef for the Publican system resigned yesterday and admitted he did not act to stop an incident of sharing of pictures (inappropriate pictures) of an employee. The GM of one of the restaurants was fired for sharing the pics.

It is not always a jilted girlfriend... when it is many many people complaining it can be the real deal, a guy who won't stop when told to stop.

The article I saw was not the Times-Pic expose, but one about his shows. It had a rough summary that sounded like a jilted girlfriend. I was lazy, looking for confirmation that the story wasn't a hoax.

"Since then I have been seeking to rebuild my marriage and come to terms with my reckless actions given the profound love I have for my wife, my boys and my Catholic faith. I also regret any harm this may have caused to my second family at the restaurant group, and sincerely apologize to anyone past and present who has worked for me who found my behavior as unacceptable as I do," he said.
"I alone am entirely responsible for my moral failings. This is not the way the head of a company like ours should have acted, let alone a husband and father. But it should not taint our incredible team of more than 1,000 employees, nor undermine our unyielding commitment to treating everyone with respect and dignity, regardless of gender, race, age and sexual preference."

I know that it's rank speculation, but this is beginning to take on the characteristics of a witch hunt.
