ViacomCBS-owned Network 10 and international publisher Pan MacMillan have severed their relationship with celebrity chef Pete Evans after controversy erupted over a social media post featuring an ancient sun symbol that was appropriated by the Nazis.

On Nov. 16, Evans posted a cartoon image on his Facebook featuring a caterpillar (sporting a Make America Great Again cap) talking to a butterfly (whose wing features the black sun symbol).
