Rachael Ray sparks new health concerns with slurred speech in cooking video



Rachael Ray fans are worried about her health once again.

The celebrity chef, 56, slurred her words in another cooking video that she shared to Instagram on Mother’s Day.

In the clip from Sunday, Ray stood over a stovetop and recalled how she was “very, very poor” while living in New York as a young woman.

“I didn’t want to bother my mother. I didn’t want her to feel scared for me. So I would never ask for money,” she said. “And I didn’t have any.”

Ray continued, “Eventually, I did a show called ‘$40 a Day.’ And that was my budget for a whole week. I would buy a week’s food, and I only had $40. I always felt so grateful that I came from people that taught me how to buy dry beans, a few vegetables, very little protein, and to live on that for a long time. And I’m deeply grateful for it.”

“It has changed the course of my life. It has made my life what it is,” Ray added. “And that’s what I try to share in these shows as often as I can.”

In the comments, fans expressed concern for Ray’s wellbeing.

“Rachael worried about you! ❤️🙏🙏🙏,” one fan wrote.

“Rachael are you okay? You don’t look well,” another person wrote.

A third person added, “OMG WHAT HAPPENED TO RACHAEL.”

“Girl are you okay? We don’t recognize you,” a different comment read.

Someone else wrote, “she looks sick.”

But others defended the famous homemaker.

“Let’s be kind or silent. We never know what people are going through,” someone wrote.

Another fan said, “Please be kind, we never know what types of health or personal struggles people have.”

“People who have nothing nice to say should shut up,” a different person wrote.

Another fan commented, “She’s having some health issues. Hopefully, people will understand and show her grace as she goes through it.”

The Post has reached out to Ray’s rep for comment.

Ray previously sparked concern for her slurred speech in a different cooking video last year.

In the clip from her “Rachael Ray in Tuscany” series, she made Tony Bennett’s favorite dish while recalling the time the late singer came over for dinner and slipped on her polished kitchen floor. However, fans were distracted by the way Ray was speaking.

One month later, Ray revealed on her “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead” podcast that she recently suffered “a couple of bad falls,” though she didn’t offer more context.

During another episode of her podcast in December, Ray told guest Anne Burrell that she’s “afraid” to go on the internet and see what people are saying about her.

“Do you ever think about the way people think about you? I don’t,” said Ray. “I’m, like, afraid to, quite frankly.”
