Controversies of Padma Lakshmi
In 2011, Padma Lakshmi's ex-boyfriend Adam Dell, sued her, in Manhattan Supreme Court. He claimed that Padma had refused to put his name on the birth certificate of their daughter. He also claimed that Padma had forced him into signing a restrictive visitation agreement. As per this agreement, he could meet his daughter only for a few hours a week. Later, they settled down their dispute out of court. Now, they both share the custody of their daughter, 'Krishna Thea Lakshmi-Dell.'
In 2018, she made a revelation that she was raped at the age of 16 by her then boyfriend.
