Two Years After That
The class-action suit was resolved after two years. It ended with Batali and the business associates shelling out $5.25 million to pay the other party. There were 117 plaintiffs involved in the legal proceedings. The whole thing was launched by a former waitress called Stephanie Capsolas and a former kitchen runner called Hernan Ricardo Alvarado. They used to work at Babbo.
Cat Cora And Her DUI Conviction
In 2012, Cat Cora got lucky by avoiding time behind bars after she was convicted of a DUI. She was twice more than the alcohol limit when she crashed into another car in Santa Barbara. The only thing that she received was a suspended prison sentence, a fine, and a three-year probation. Aside from that, she also had to spend nine months attending DUI school.
