Top Chef Star’s Alleged Restraining Order Violation Gets Messier

Okay, this is getting dark. Top Chef star Eric Adjepong allegedly violated a restraining order his ex-wife Janell Mack had against him — and it happened MORE THAN A YEAR before his own daughter filed a protective order against him. Yeah, you read that right.

Here’s the timeline: Janell went to court and got a restraining order against Eric. Then, according to TMZ, he allegedly broke it. Fast forward over a year later, and his daughter felt compelled to file her own protective order. That’s not a coincidence. That’s a pattern.

We don’t have all the details on what the alleged violation looked like or the specifics of his daughter’s protective order yet, but the fact that BOTH his ex-wife and his kid needed legal protection from him? That’s serious stuff. And it paints a pretty damning picture of what was allegedly going down behind closed doors.

Eric hasn’t publicly responded to these allegations. But with a restraining order violation plus a protective order from his own daughter, the Top Chef universe is definitely paying attention to this one.
