(CNN) Mario Batali is being sued by a woman who claims the celebrity chef kissed and groped her at a Boston restaurant and bar last year, according to court documents obtained by CNN. The suit comes several months after Batali first faced allegations of sexual misconduct. Natali Tene states in a suit filed this week that Batali rubbed her breasts, kissed her repeatedly and groped her buttocks and groin area during an encounter at a Boston-area restaurant in April 2017. Tene did not know Batali personally but was familiar with his career, according to the suit. The alleged assault happened when Tene was in his proximity under the belief they would be taking a photograph together, the suit says.
