Food Network chef Eric Adjepong is facing serious legal trouble after a July 2026 protective order found enough evidence to believe he physically abused his 7-year-old daughter — now he can’t contact her unsupervised until he completes parenting classes and therapy. This isn’t his first brush with the law: in January 2025, he was charged with violating a prior protective order by contacting his ex-wife — a charge later dismissed amid conflicting court orders, though his side claims the ex-wife blocked access to their daughter. Meanwhile, the ex-wife’s lawyer clarified the dismissal was because the order’s terms were absorbed into a March 2025 civil consent order, which still mandates all child-related communication via a parenting app. Adjepong insists law enforcement found no evidence of abuse, calling the allegations unfounded, and says he’s fully complying with the court’s order to protect his daughter and work toward reunification.
