Jean Imbert deja su puesto como chef del Plaza Athénée tras acusaciones de violencia doméstica

Jean Imbert, el chef con estrella del Plaza Athénée, ha dejado su cargo debido a acusaciones de violencia doméstica, según anunció la dirección del palacio parisino. El chef mantiene su puesto como director artístico, mientras que Jocelyn Herland asume el rol de chef ejecutivo.

La dirección del Plaza Athénée ha anunciado que Jean Imbert, estrella de la gastronomía y ganador de Top Chef, ya no es el chef del restaurante con estrella debido a las acusaciones de violencia doméstica en su contra. François Delahaye, director general del palacio, confirmó la noticia a la AFP tras ser reportada inicialmente por los diarios del grupo Ebra.

Imbert conserva un puesto como director artístico, aportando ideas para conceptos o nuevos platos sin autoridad operativa. "Con lo sucedido en su vida privada, lo hemos apartado de la primera línea", explicó Delahaye. El contrato de Imbert expiraba en junio, pero esta decisión acelera la transición. Jocelyn Herland, quien ya ejercía como chef ejecutivo, asume ahora la dirección de la cocina.

El nombre del restaurante, actualmente Jean Imbert au Plaza Athénée, podría cambiar, aunque Delahaye señaló que aún hay tiempo para decidirlo. La afluencia de público se ha visto afectada tras las revelaciones. El director subrayó la presunción de inocencia: "Si se demuestra que es culpable, asumiré mis responsabilidades. Pero, por ahora, se le presume inocente".

Una investigación de la fiscalía de Versalles sobre violencia doméstica se inició tras una denuncia de la expareja de Imbert, la actriz Lila Salet, por incidentes ocurridos entre 2012 y 2013. Otras mujeres, incluida Miss Francia 2006, Alexandra Rosenfeld, denunciaron haber sufrido violencia, como una fractura de nariz en 2013 durante un programa de M6. Imbert niega las acusaciones.
