Fans who have expressed concerns over Rachael Ray’s well-being say she might be hiding an underlying health challenge.
Many fans quickly noticed a change in Ray’s appearance during a recent appearance in her cooking and storytelling series, Rachael Ray, in Tuscany.
In a clip shared on her Instagram handle, fans noticed that the 56-year-old chef and TV host slurred her speech while paying tribute to the late singer Tony Bennett. Ray had prepared the singer’s favourite dish, ossobuco.
This sparked controversy as fans wondered if all was well with her. While many think Ray might be keeping an underlying health challenge to herself, others wonder if the unusual slurring incident and unsteady appearance on the show was a result of the personal story she shared about Tony Bennett on the episode.
Ray had shared a humorous yet concerning story about Bennett’s chair sliding out from under him.
In 2008, Ray reportedly underwent a vocal cord surgery, which sources claim was to remove a benign cyst. However, at that time, her representative reportedly assured fans that it was a minor issue and would not significantly impact the chef or her work.
Aside from this, the chef has never made public any health challenge, which raises even more concerns over her well-being.
