The celebrity chef, 53, has come under fire in recent days for a new interview in The Times, in which he said women 'don't really' experience sexism in Britain's kitchens anymore.
Celebrity chef Jason Atherton faced backlash after stating that sexism is no longer prevalent in the culinary industry, sparking criticism led by chef Poppy O'Toole, who shared her own experiences of sexism and harassment. Atherton later clarified his comments were taken out of context, denying condoning sexism. O'Toole and others argued sexism persists, while Atherton's restaurant, City Social, lost its Michelin star, adding to his challenges.
