Adam Rapoport being Terrible

This is only some of the behavior that BA publicly supported during Adam Rapoport's time as EIC.

He always made me INTENSELY uncomfortable in videos and i couldnt place why, so it is so gratifying to see everything condensed into this video. This is why its tough to call out abusers/gross people in general- its always small nitpicks, disguised as jokes or written off because they arent big or mean enough to make a stink about in the moment. When you see them all compiled together, though, the pattern is undeniable. Fuck Adam Rapoport.

You can clearly see everyone’s stress levels rising once he opens his mouth.

the way molly spoke back, , , *chef's kiss*

[chrisalvino]

And these were the shots they APPROVED... Imagine how much worse Adam's behavior was when the cameras weren't running

This week on It's Alive: Disgust and Hatred toward Adam Rapoport. This one's been fermenting for a long time.

[susucoklat]

i feel like hes the type of person who thinks hes a "class clown" when actually hes just mean and everyone laughs it off because theyre uncomfortable

[joycieket]

He has the least amount of experience in the kitchen compared to his staff and he has the audacity to critique any of them. 👏👏👏

Claire: "I wasted one on Adam when I shouldve given it to Sohla who actually cares about what we're doing here" IF THAT ISN'T THE REAL TAKE AWAY OF IT ALL. (Also how do you eat a gourmet version of any food claire makes and choose the og? Red flag.)

I HATE that he judged Molly for not going to cooking school. Cooking school is so inaccessible, and it’s seriously so inspiring to see women like Molly who have learned everything from busting her ass and working the line. She’s so kickass.

[possiblychey]

Lmfao Molly did not like him. Sassy and classy for sure

[chickennuggets]

Good on Molly for speaking back at him

[jamesworsham]

Andrew Rea talking to Brad: "I didn't go to culinary school."
Brad: "That's cool. I did; I didn't learn anything."
Adam: "IF you had gone to cooking school you would have learned all about ice baths...I took cooking classes at l'Academie de Cuisine..."
That's the difference between a humble person who knows what they're doing in the kitchen and an arrogant person who doesn't.

andy: *doing his job*
adam: "he's always like LoOK aT mE"
adam in the next clip: *walking around the test kitchen strumming a guitar for no productive reason, fully aware that brad is filming something. walks into frame only to insult him*
thank GOD he's gone. even before knowing all of this, it was so discomforting seeing him in any of the videos. he was never pleasant, nor entertaining, nor did he offer anything to the episode. he was just an annoyance. you could feel like uncomfortable he made everyone. molly was not shy about showing how much she detested him but it seems like adam was too much of an idiot to pick up on that. or he just waved it off on camera and decided to pick on her to make it seem like they had a "bickering pals" relationship.

[shaymazakraoui]

Adam: “I wOrK hErE”
BA Test Kitchen Staff: “Not anymore”

[burgos]

How is he everyone’s boss but calls it “bahn appetit”

[karentrejo]

Yall I didn't even know about the controversy and I swear I hated how he just walked in and acted like he was the smartest and most interesting person in the room. He literally put all videos he was a part of to a halt the moment he walked in. I always rolled my eyes when he walked in. Like "ugh, can you leave so people can have fun and be productive pleease"

[IAN-ztyt]

wait brad actually looked seriously upset in that clip i feel so bad for all of them having to work for him

[sleepiestboi]

The way he was so passive aggressive toward Andy was disgusting

[eugenenaputi]

Adam really told Andy "...it always has to be look at me, look at me...you can go cook food somewhere else..." immediately after he flexed taking cooking classes at LeAcademie de Douche (for lack of a better word).

[sethcoronado]

adam: annoyed that molly didn’t go to culinary school. also adam: only went to cooking class
