Food Network has all the content related to Season 20 of Worst cooks in America, after the arrest of winner Ariel Robinson for the death of a child.
Robinson, 29, and his husband, Jerry Robinson, 34, are being executed for child abuse after the death of their adopted three-year-old daughter, the TV news station WHNS reports. The child, who was identified as Victoria Smith, was unresponsive on January 14 at the couple’s home in Simpsonville, SC, according to a medical examination due to blunt wound injuries.
Since the arrest was made, season 20’s episodes and all related tracks have disappeared from the Food Network’s Discovery +, Hulu and YouTube pages. The network has not yet commented on the situation.
Robinson raised $ 25,000 in the latest issue of The worst cooks in America, which follows participants with admittedly poor cooking skills while competing for the grand prize. The cast members endure a cooking camp under the supervision of the famous chef, while trying to serve the best of the worst to avoid elimination.
Season 20 was hosted by chefs Anne Burrell and Alex Guarnaschelli. Season 20 was originally aired in the summer of 2020. Robinson was named the winner during his final on August 2nd. Season 21, starring Burrell and guest mentor Carla Hall, premieres on the Food Network on January 3, 2021.
