Ariel Robinson, the champion of Food Network’s Worst Cooks in America, was sentenced earlier this week to life in prison for the murder of her 3-year-old foster daughter, Victoria “Tori” Rose Smith.
Robinson took the witness stand last Thursday. She said Smith, her “mini-me,” was “the perfect child.”
Jean Smith and Avery Santiago witnessed Robinson cleaning Smith’s dress in the women’s bathroom sink at church on Sunday, Jan. 13, 2021. Fox Carolina reported Santiago overheard Robinson scold the bare child.
“Oh, you’re cold. You’re cold. Girls that make themselves throw up deserve to be cold.”

When Jean Smith asked if the child was sick, Robinson responded that the foster child “eats too much and makes herself throw up.” Jean Smith added Robinson referred to the child’s eating habits as “a game.”
According to Fox News, Smith threw up on her dress on the way to church. The incident spiraled to the death of the foster child. Robinson’s husband, Jerry “Austin” Robinson, testified that his wife often became angry with Tori’s eating habits. He stated his wife would express her anger by beating the child with a wooden paddle or a belt. Robinson’s husband said he would try to help Tori avoid Robinson’s anger by eating some of her food.
