Eric Adjepong Has Appeared On A Number Of Shows Over The Years, From Top Chef To Chopped
Adjepong is a chef who became a finalist on Bravo’s Top Chef: Kentucky, which serves as the show’s sixteenth season. Ultimately, Kelsey Barnard Clark won the season, with Sara Bradley as a runner-up.
Following this, Adjepong competed on season 17 of Top Chef: All-Stars L.A. He has also served as a judge on various competition shows, including Guy’s Grocery Games, Beat Bobby Flay, and Chopped, in addition to appearing in a number of Food Network shows throughout his career.
According to TMZ, Adjepong has been ordered to stay away from his daughter, Lennox, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Janell Mack, for one year, after allegedly abusing her. Court proceedings started in May, with the final hearing taking place on July 10.
According to the outlet, the hearing resulted in an order requiring Eric to stay away from Lennox, her school, her residence, and her childcare providers. He is also prohibited from contacting her.
Adjepong Has Issued A Statement Over The Ruling Through His Attorney
According to the outlet, in spite of the ruling, no criminal charges were filed in the matter. The order will last for a year, ending on July 10, 2027.
Details about the alleged abuse are currently under wraps. However, Mack’s attorney, Todd Mohink, told the outlet, “I believe the court did its job to protect the best interest of the child.”
Through his attorney, Eric shared, “Because this matter involves my young daughter, whom I love deeply, I intend to protect her privacy and will not discuss the underlying allegations or other sensitive family matters publicly other than to say that these allegations arose in the context of a long running divorce and custody proceeding, which finally concluded on June 2, 2026.” Adding that he respected the court, he shared that he is “strictly complying with every facet of the order.”
Adjepong added, “It is my fervent hope that in the future my ex-wife and I can resolve these matters privately. And through the proper legal channels, rather than in the press, if only for the well-being of our daughter.”
