Court records cited by WHAS 11, WDRB and Courier Journal state Ferguson had a protection order filed against him on Jan. 2. The identity of the person who filed the order is not public.

Ferguson is described on the Food Network website as a celebrity chef, restaurateur and entrepreneur, who currently hosts Superchef Grudge Match.

He also is a frequent judge on Chopped and Guy’s Grocery Games, competed on 3 seasons of Guy Fieri's Tournament of Champions and has recently appeared on OWN’s The Big Holiday Food Fight and Food Fantasies.

It is unclear if Ferguson has retained an attorney to speak on his behalf.
