Mario Batali will no longer headline a campaign fundraiser for Gov. Andrew Cuomo next week after the celebrity chef was accused of sexual harassment. Batali had been slated to appear at a $15,000-a-seat "Holiday Dinner" benefitting Cuomo's campaign on Dec. 19 at the Columbus Club in Manhattan.

But the chef dropped out of the event after Eater New York, an online food-centric publication, reported Monday on allegations from four women who say Batali had inappropriately touched them.
