The US reality show winner murdered her adopted daughter, who was beaten last year
The woman reportedly became furious after the 3yearold vomited on her dress on her way to church.
The girl died the following day from internal bleeding as a result of the beating.
Ariel Robinson was sentenced to life imprisonment last Thursday (12) in the US city of Greenville for killing her own threeyearold daughter.
The woman rose to prominence in the United States for winning the 20th season of reality show Worst Cooks in America in 2020. However, a year later she became present on the pages of the police because of the crime committed.
Ariel, 30, allegedly beat her adopted daughter Victoria Rose Smith in front of her husband Jerry “Austin” Robinson, 35.
Austin has confessed to taking part in the crime and should have his sentence reduced. According to him, on January 13, 2021, Victoria was violently attacked by Ariel after she vomited on the woman’s dress.
The family was attending church when the episode happened. Witnesses testified at the trial that they saw Ariel cleaning the child’s dress in the bathroom.
When asked if her daughter had been ill, the woman said the girl kept “overeating until she throws up” and explained it was a “game”.
Victoria was found unconscious at the family home the next day by paramedics with internal bleeding. She was rescued but could not resist and died shortly thereafter.
Criminal Testimonies
Austin told the court that Ariel beat her daughter constantly and that after the beating that led to the child’s death, she even promised her that “it won’t happen again.”
Ariel called Victoria a “perfect” child and “easy to live with” in her statement last Wednesday (11).
