Celebrity chef Ina Garten recalled being ‘terrified’ of her physically abusive father while growing up
Food Network legend Ina Garten recalled being “terrified” of her father while growing up — revealing that he was physically abusive throughout her childhood.
'If there's a threat of violence, you're always afraid, even when it's not happening. So, I basically spent my entire childhood in my bedroom with a door closed,' Garten said during the same People interview. 'I think it was just protection. It was just to keep myself safe.' 'He, in his own way, apologized and my mom never acknowledged it,' Garten shared, explaining how her mother’s indifference inspired her to prioritize meaningful relationships in her own life.
