Chef Catalin Scarlatescu reacted for the first time to the Antena 1 scandal after he and his colleagues Sorin Bontea and Florin Dumitrescu decided not to participate in the filming of the new season of the show “Chefs la Cutite”. Scarlatescu explained the reasons why he and his colleagues decided to sue Antena Group and launched a series of attacks on television.
Cătălin Scarlătescu told cancan.ro that the reason for suing Antena was that they did not get paid for the 12th season of the show Chefi la Cuţite, which ended last fall.
- “Dear Antenna 1 did not give us money for the 12th season, for which they collected all the money in the world. They did not pay us such an interesting salary as now. I don’t want anything to happen to Antena, I just want her to give me money, work in the sweat of my brow.
- After they sued me and asked for all the millions in the world… the poor people who asked for millions, do they even count? It’s not a delicate situation, Scarlettka tells you, Antena 1 makes it delicate. Antena 1 dreams of green horses on the walls,” Scarletescu told cancan.ro.
He claimed that after Antena 1 “there is no death” and that Antena didn’t make them, but they made Antena big. In addition, Scarletescu claimed that someone inside Antena would want to damage the trust.
Antena Group, which owns Antena 1, sued three chefs it worked with for seven years – Florin Dumitrescu, Catalin Scarlatescu and Sorin Bontea.
According to Paginademedia.ro, on November 23, Antena Group filed a lawsuit against each of the bosses in the Bucharest court. The object of the process is the “obligation to fulfill the contract for artistic performance”, that is, to force them to return to the performance.
In October 2023, Antena 1 abandoned the three judges of the cooking show “Chefi la Cuțite” – Florin Dumitrescu, Catalin Scarlatescu and Sorin Bontea, who for years managed one of the most popular shows on the station. According to Paginademedia.ro, the divorce announcement was made by Antena 1 itself through a press release on Thursday evening.
“The reason for the break is the refusal of 3 members of the jury to participate in the filming in October 2023, according to the filming calendar notified to them in March 2023, the refusal was expressed shortly before the scheduled filming date of the 13th season” This is stated in the statement of the Antena 1 TV channel.
In December 2023, Antena 1 announced that the new members of the jury of the show “Chefi la Cuțite” were Richard Abu Zaki, Alexandra Sautner, Stefan Popescu and Orlando Zacharia.
