"This is a person we’re not supposed to talk about but I’m going to," De Laurentiis said on a July episode of "On the Menu."
"He’s really the main guy I had worked with. He’s a legend in the Italian space. I felt like his stamp of approval would’ve been huge for me," De Laurentiis, 54, said.

Batali obliged, writing a foreword for De Laurentiis, but what he wrote ended up making her cry — and not in a good way.
De Laurentiis' editor re-wrote the foreword and sent it over to Batali who approved it. His original words were not ever published. Nevertheless, the memory has stuck with De Laurentiis ever since.
"The hurt in her voice is still so raw," one person noted.
"Excuse me! He said WHAT?!?! Absolutely not!!!" a third comment read.
Batali, who has also had wild success in the cooking world, was accused of sexual misconduct in 2017, with several women making allegations against him. In 2019, he pled not guilty to indecent assault and battery after a woman accused him of "aggressively kissed and groped her while they were taking a selfie at a Boston restaurant in 2017," according to PBS.
"I apologize to the people I have mistreated and hurt. Although the identities of most of the individuals mentioned in these stories have not been revealed to me, much of the behavior described does, in fact, match up with ways I have acted," Batali told Eater. "That behavior was wrong and there are no excuses. I take full responsibility and am deeply sorry for any pain, humiliation or discomfort I have caused to my peers, employees, customers, friends and family.'
In 2022, Batali was acquitted on the aforementioned charges, per The New York Times.
