Sexual harassment and assault

In December 2017, owner Ken Friedman was accused of sexual harassment. The article's author interviewed many employees who said April Bloomfield knew about everything that was going on at the Spotted Pig. The article included the statement that "several other employees say they also brought their complaints and concerns about Mr. Friedman to Ms. Bloomfield. Her response was always the same. "That's who he is. Get used to it. Or go work for someone else." April Bloomfield was also aware of her restaurant's third floor nickname, "Among employees and industry insiders, the third-floor space has earned a nickname: "the rape room.""[5] Friedman subsequently resigned from management duties of their restaurant group.[6] Shortly after in December 2017, Bloomfield posted an apology on Twitter for not protecting her staff.[7]
