The Food Network scrubbed its final season of the reality series Worst Cooks In America after its champion was arrested for the murder of a child.
Ariel Robinson, 29, was indicted Tuesday along with her husband Jerry Robinson on the death of a 3-year-old girl in South Carolina. They are murdered for child abuse when their adopted daughter dies.
On January 14, police found an unresponsive child at the couple’s home in Simpsonville, South Carolina, TV station WHNS reported. The girl died as a result of several blunt violent injuries, a medical examination showed. She was identified as Victoria Smith, according to Greenville Station.
Ariel Robinson won $ 25,000 in the latest edition of Worst Cooks in America, a competition between people with admittedly poor cooking skills. You will go through a boot camp under the supervision of a celebrity chef in competition.

The Food Network has cleaned up all content related to the season 20 show. The competition was filmed in February 2020 and broadcast last year. The Food Network has not yet commented on the Robinson incident.
The content is not available on the Food Network’s Discovery +, Hulu, or YouTube pages, but episode summaries are still available on the official website.
Robinson was a recently retired teacher and budding stand-up comedian. She added three foster children to her family in March 2020 after recording the series, but it’s not clear if the child who was murdered was one of them.
