Besh's departure from Besh Restaurant Group, which he co-owns, was announced in an email to staff on Monday (Oct. 23).

"John has decided to step down from all aspects of operations and to provide his full focus on his family," said Shannon White, announcing she was stepping in as CEO.

In an eight-month investigation, 25 current and former Besh Group employees told NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune that they were victims of sexual harassment while working at BRG or at a number of its restaurants.

Two separate complaints alleging sexual discrimination and retaliation have been filed since December with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. One complaint by a former employee says Besh "continued to attempt to coerce (her) to submit to his sexual overtures" during a months-long sexual relationship while she worked for him.

1. " time with the family"

Such an over-used empty phrase.

Which got me to wondering....can you imagine this hypothetical family's reaction when Dad actually shows up for a full 24 hours? The family which got used to him being gone most of the time, and paying the bills?
The family which developed their own interests and life when he was absent so many times?
Mom might have to post a pic of him on the fridge for the kids to get used to before he shows up at the door minus that job.

Or, mom might welcome him with a divorce, if other women were involved.
