Noma's star chef quits after claims that he hit and bullied staff

Cooks were punched, publicly shamed or humiliated, several former staff who said they suffered or witnessed abuse told the New York Times, which said it talked to 35 former employees. "I've decided to step away," Redzepi said in an Instagram post that acknowledged past problems. "Noma has taken big steps to transform the culture over many years," Redzepi said in the video that showed him apologising to staff, some of whom were holding back tears. "I recognise these changes do not repair the past," the 48-year-old added.
