Darnell ‘SuperChef’ Ferguson’s lawyer calls burglary, strangulation charges ‘misleading’ and ‘false’

Darnell “Superchef” Ferguson’s lawyer called his burglary and strangulation charges “misleading” and “false” after he allegedly threatened to kill his estranged wife, Tatahda Ferguson.

“Darnell and his wife are separated, and are working together to find a new balance for their family,” his lawyer, Krsna Tibbs, told Page Six Thursday.

“They had a disagreement on January 2 that was subsequently reported to the authorities in a misleading and false manner.”

His lawyer said that the Food Network star — who shares eight kids with his estranged wife — hopes “these issues will be resolved shortly and in a way that is least disruptive to their blended family of eight children.”

“We ask at this time for privacy for Darnell and the entire family so that they can heal and continue to work on coparenting as they move forward with their divorce.”

Page Six has reached out to Tatahda for comment but didn’t hear back at the time of publication.

This latest development comes one day after an unidentified woman claimed Darnell, 36, broke into her Louisville, Ky., home where he punched the walls before he strangled her to the point of unconsciousness.

Per a copy of his arrest warrant obtained by TMZ, she claimed that, once she regained consciousness, Darnell tore her pants off and demanded to see her genitals.

The woman claimed to police she feared he would sexually assault her, but he instead left the home with her debit and credit cards, as well as her identification.

Police noted there were noticeable wounds on the woman.

Page Six confirmed Darnell was charged with burglary, terroristic threatening and strangulation following the alleged altercation.

He was also charged with assault, menacing, theft-receipt of a stolen credit or debit card and criminal mischief.

‘Gorilla Glue Girl’ swaps hair spray for cooking spray on ‘Worst Cooks’

She’s sticking with it.

Tessica Brown, also known as “Gorilla Glue Girl,” survived the first two rounds of Food Network’s “Worst Cooks in America: Viral Sensations.”

“I want to learn how to cook because my grandma always said, ‘The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach,’ and ‘I want a ring,’” she quipped on the TV show, per NOLA.com.

Though the judges could barely stomach her signature dish of shrimp linguine, fried cod and glazed asparagus, Brown impressed them with a plant-based meal the following week. She’s now a few hairs closer to the $25,000 prize.

The TikTok star‘s claim to fame came in 2021 when she plastered Gorilla Glue on her hair after running out of hair spray.

She was hospitalized, and the glue left her hair stiff for a month. A Beverly Hills plastic surgeon resolved the situation after failed home remedies.

Brown may have claimed the title of “worst hair disaster,” but she’s trying to redeem herself by being the best “worst cook.”

The viral sensation is competing against 11 social media personalities, including comedian/actor Michael Judson Berry (@mjudsonberry) and K-pop TikToker Tina Kim (@kdramalogic).

To prevent kitchen fires, the contestants prepare meals under the supervision of chefs Darnell Ferguson and Anne Burrell, who teach the wannabes how to make essential dishes.

On the premiere episode, which aired Jan. 1, Brown cooked shrimp linguine, fried cod and glazed asparagus.

“This is the only thing that I cook that people can hold down,” she admitted. Yet Ferguson could barely hold it down, claiming, “It needs its own ‘Worst Cooks in America’ episode.”

In 2021, Brown was dubbed the “Gorilla Glue Girl” after using the adhesive on her hair instead of hairspray.

Brown was able to strike back on her next dish, cooking potatoes that were called “a home run.”

She made a black bean and mushroom burger with American cheese, pickle, mayo, lettuce and tomatoes on the second episode.

If Brown wins the competition, she could use the prize money to fuel her music career and hair-care line. Or she could buy lots and lots more glue.
