-Marina del Rey, Calif.
-Allan Rousswick, a Feast Fest chef and brother of fellow Feast Fest chef, Jane Rousswick, who received $122,222 in gifts from a scouter, may soon be implicated in the scandal already surrounding her sister.
An official investigation of the incident, which brought about the firing of the scouter, Peter Chilphingham, and could lead to potential disciplinary action against Jane Rousswick, found Saturday that Allan Rousswick benefited from some of the gifts provided to his sibling. It is alleged that Allan Rousswick received half of the $20,000 in cash given to Jane Rousswick, and that Allan Rousswick used those moneys to buy several other expensive personal effects, including a Cartier men's watch.
Calls to the homes of both Rousswicks in Nova Scotia, to the offices of their agents, and to Chilphingham were all unanswered Saturday. Jane Rousswick released a statement early Saturday morning claiming her brother was "more suspicious than [she]" about the source of the money, and yet still went ahead and used it anyway.
Allan Rousswick's agent released a statement claiming he had been lied to. "Mr. Rousswick believed that his sister and Mr. Chilphingham were involved in a romantic relationship," the agent said. "While suspicious about the money, Mr. Rousswick believed that its sources were legitimate. Now that he is aware that the money was pilfered from Feast Fest's official budget, he is working to return all of the money, along with his sister Jane."
The two will both be interrogated when the chefs arrive for a ten-day Feast Fest preparatory session on Nov. 18. One or both could be benched from Feast Fest 2013 on Nov. 28 over the matter.
