Therefore, it may catch some off guard to learn about the recent arrest of Food Network host Darnell Ferguson, known for his cheerful presence on the show "Superchef Grudge Match," on charges of strangling his estranged wife.
From TMZ:
Per the arrest warrant, Darnell Ferguson's estranged wife called 911 to report he'd broken into her Louisville home on Jan. 2, and proceeded to allegedly attack her. The alleged victim claims once Ferguson was inside, he started punching walls and eventually lunged at her and grabbed her by the neck ... allegedly choking her out and threatening to kill her.
She told police she eventually lost consciousness, and when she came to ... she claims Ferguson then ripped off her shorts and demanded to see her privates. His estranged wife alleges he then said she was his and nobody else's ... making her fear he'd sexually assault her.
In the end, it doesn't sound like that occurred ... because the woman told cops he left, but not before allegedly snatching her credit/debit cards and ID. Law enforcement says they observed visible injuries on her, which they say was enough to warrant the charges.
Ferguson has already been arraigned, and he's pleaded not guilty -- with his bond set at $10,000.
The tale unfolding from Ferguson's wife paints a grim picture, but the truth of the matter remains uncertain. Currently, it appears to be evolving into a classic "he said, she said" scenario.
