Food Network's Darnell Ferguson was involved in a January 2nd incident that involved his estranged wife. She told police that Ferguson forced his way into her house, threatened to kill her and choked her until she passed out. TMZ also reports that she told police she eventually lost consciousness, and when she regained consciousness, she claims that Ferguson ripped off her shorts and demanded to see her privates. He allegedly took her IDs an credit cards and left.
The charges Darnell Ferguson faces include burglary, strangulation, assault, terroristic threatening, menacing, criminal mischief, and theft of a stolen debit or credit card.
On January 19th, his lawyer gave a statement to People saying, "Mr. Ferguson continues to maintain his complete innocence and is confident that when all the facts are made public, he will be exonerated. While (Thursday’s) hearing was preliminary, a number of new details were introduced by the Louisville police that begin to paint a clear picture of the events of January 2, 2024."
The grand jury hearing is scheduled for the week of February 19th, so there will be more updates after that.
After news of the arrest, Food Network pulled all episodes of Superchef Grudge Match from airing on the network and removed it from all online and on-demand platforms. The newest season of Superchef Grudge Match had just started, so chefs that competed on that show may never get to see their episode air. It should also be interesting to see how Tournament of Champions is edited as Darnell always competes in that and the new season is starting soon.
I will try to update this post after the grand jury hearing in the middle of February with any new developments.
