"I have made many mistakes and I am so very sorry that I have disappointed my friends, my family, my fans and my team."
OK, nothing crazy there. But this is reportedly how the email ended:
"I will work every day to regain your respect and trust.

Just a reminder, he wasn't just accused of making crude comments. A manager at one his restaurants told the Washington Posthe saw Batali on a security camera "grope and kiss a woman who appeared to be unconscious." Multiple women have accused him of inappropriate comments and touching.
Sooo, maybe don't push a fun holiday recipe from your website right after your apology. (Mashablereached out to Mario Batali's team for confirmation that the email is authentic, and will update when they respond.)
Promoting your recipe doesn't exactly make your apology look sincere, Mario. Try again.
