About two weeks ago, a lawsuit was filed in the Labor Court against Chef Erez Komorowski for sexual harassment. Komorowski is a food reality judge “Chef Games” and a successful chef. Among other things, he founded “Lehem Erez”, the owner of a prestigious catering service and is considered one of the fathers of the field.
Today (Friday) a detailed investigation against Komorowski is published in Yedioth Ahronoth, which brings additional and difficult evidence. In response to the publication, Komorowski retired from the chef’s games. According to the complainants, the chef harassed them several times and used blatant discourse towards them. Other employees also described disturbing discourse, problematic work environment and vulgar behavior.
In a post on Instagram, Komorowski wrote that “over the decades I have raised countless cooks and cooks, bakers and bakers, with whom my warm relationship continues to this day. Also the reason why it hurts me so much to think that there were people who might have been hurt by me. “
One of the complainants told in an article about Erez’s harassment, and what happened in the wake of it “I went to the kitchen market, very upset, do not know what to do, I share one of the cooks with all the details and exactly what he did. And I will not go over it in silence. He came to the kitchen later, I do not remember what I did there, I think I hid simply because I was supposed to be outside the kitchen. He came and said, ‘What? Are you angry about something?’. I replied, ‘What are you? Think to yourself that you do? ‘, And he says to me,’ Well laugh with you. ‘I told him it was not funny to me and I remember it like it was yesterday,’ You do not touch me. ‘”.
In response to Yedioth Ahronoth’s publications, Komrovsky said: “Although I do not identify myself with the character that emerges from the questions conveyed to me by the newspaper system, I do not intend to blame any of the interviewees for the article. It is important for me to emphasize that my behavior had no sexual intent or one intended to cause pain. “
“I have decided that the right thing to do now is to reduce my media presence. Therefore, I informed the Chef Games producers and network channel managers yesterday that I will not participate in the filming of the show’s upcoming season. I thank them for their understanding, and even if I do not its”.
