Every Food Network Star Scandal, Darnell Ferguson Included

Darnell Ferguson has become a regular face on Food Network over the past several years. He’s appeared on multiple reality competition shows, and co-hosted a season of Worst Cooks In America alongside Anne Burrell. As of right now, Darnell is the host of Superchef Grudge Match, but there is a chance his career at the Food Network may come to an end earlier than he would have ever planned. According to the Courier-Journal, Darnell is facing some very serious charges, and currently stands accused of, “felony burglary and strangulation, as well as misdemeanor assault, terroristic threatening, menacing, criminal mischief and theft.” The person pressing charges against Darnell is his estranged wife, Tatahda Ferguson, who sought out a protective order against him at the beginning of the new year. Entertainment Tonight shared that “Ferguson entered her home without permission and yelled at her about not returning phone calls and text messages before punching holes in the wall and breaking a door.” She alleges that he also held her up against a wall and attempted to strangle her to the point where she blacked out. When he left the residence, he took her credit card and her ID.
