Rachael Ray's fans calls for temperature check on celeb chef after ‘concerning' behavior
For decades, Food Network chef Rachael Ray has warmed America's hearts with her budget meals and culinary catch phrases like 'yum-o' and 'delish.' But now, worried fans are calling for a temperature check over the chef's bizarre behavior. 'People have been concerned about her for the past couple of years,' a TV insider told The Post, following reports she was slurring her speech in a cooking video recently, leading worried fans to question in Ray is alright.

Sources close to Ray say there's no issue, she's 'taking care of herself' and 'doing things on her own terms.' Advertisement 'Rachael Ray is someone that isn't into hair and makeup, and high heels. People are judging her based off of what a standard of beauty is. She's not that girl,' the TV insider said. On Wednesday, Ray stepped out at a media event at Ray's Bar on the Lower East Side to promote her spirits brand Staple Gin, shaking up cocktails behind the bar clad in an oversized blazer, jeans, Nike sneakers, and clear-framed glasses next to her husband, musician and lawyer John Cusimano, 57. 12 Sources close to Ray say she's 'taking care of herself' and 'doing things on her own terms.' Getty Images 'I wouldn't have my name associated with the actual gin because if you don't like me or you think my voice is funny, or whatever, you could still buy the gin,' Ray quipped, giving her hubby credit for his cocktail-making skills. Advertisement 'I wrote the recipe for the gin, I really did. Worked on it a long, long time. But my husband is responsible for all the cocktails that are made,' she told the crowd. In May, Ray appeared to slur her words in a cooking video shared to Instagram on Mother's Day, showing her standing over a stovetop. 12 On Wednesday, Ray stepped out at a media event at Ray's Bar on the Lower East Side to promote her spirits brand Staple Gin, shaking up cocktails with her husband, John Cusimano (left).

'Rachael worried about you!' one fan wrote in the comments. 'Rachael, are you okay? You don't look well,' another asked. In June, an insider claimed to the Daily Mail that something 'seemed off' with Ray who showed 'bizarre behavior' while conversing with fans and handing out bottles of her gin and baseball caps at an event at Broadway Spirits in Manhattan. 12 'Rachael Ray is someone that isn't into hair and makeup, and high heels.

EXCLUSIVE How Rachael Ray is 'swimming against the tide' with her career in 'critical' transition
Over the past few months, celebrity chef Rachael Ray has been making headlines with fans growing increasingly concerned for her health amid a string of 'bizarre' behavior - and, according to a psychic, her career might be in a 'critical' transition. Ray, 56, was the star of the Food Network for many years, as she hosted multiple shows on the channel, including her signature 30 Minute Meals, which skyrocketed her to fame in the early 2000s. The chef also had a talk show, called The Rachael Ray Show, which lasted for nearly two decades on television from 2006 to 2023. At one point, she was at the top of the food industry, her first talk show season having 2.3 million national household rating, per Variety - the best premiere of a syndicated talk show since the premiere of Dr. Phil. But over the past few years, Ray has sparked fresh concern from fans, especially last September, when she was seen slurring her words in a video she had posted to social media. The video was a preview from her new show, Rachael Ray in Tuscany, and showed her cooking Ossobuco while paying tribute to the late Tony Bennett. Soon after the video, viewers voiced their worry for the star, which prompted Ray to admit that she had recently suffered from a 'couple of bad falls.' Things only seemed to get worse from there, as she left fans concerned once again in May after she appeared to slur her words in a Mother's Day video on Instagram, and left fans disturbed by 'bizarre' behavior at a meet-and-greet in New York City this month. It begs the question: amid all this concern, where is her career going? Currently, Ray has a show on FYI, Rachael Ray in Tuscany, which she films from her home in Italy, and stars in A+E's Meals In Minutes. She also released the first season of her podcast, I'll Sleep When I'm Dead, this past Fall. In addition, she is the head of her own content studio with some of her longtime partners, Free Food Content Studios - which A+E Network acquired a 50 percent stake in last year, per Variety. But according to psychic Athos Salomé, 38, from Brazil, Ray is 'swimming against the tide' as the market she is a part of is rapidly changing directions. Salomé is often referred to as the 'Living Nostradamus' due to his numerous accurate predictions - including his forecasting of the coronavirus pandemic, Queen Elizabeth II's death and the Microsoft global outage. He has now told the Daily Mail that Ray's best bet in business right now may be to aim towards cutting a deal with a streaming platform. 'She is in a critical transition phase,' Salomé told Daily Mail exclusively. 'She should be able to sign one or two cable or streaming deals by the end of 2026. Nothing grandiose - short specials, "safe and risk-free" programs, to keep her name in circulation,' the clairvoyant said. However, he predicted that there is only a 30 percent chance of Ray getting a 'major' streaming deal - but it's a goal that she should be aiming for. He also noted that her YouTube and Instagram pages, where she posts clips from her episodes, have the potential to grow, but many of her videos have not gone viral. 'It will be a slow and consistent increase, to keep the loyal audience, which is already older,' he said. Ideally, the best case scenario for Ray would be to get another lucrative contract with The Food Network once again, or a different TV platform like Hulu, Salomé explained. 'We're talking big money, fancy production, heavy promotion,' he said. 'The result? A special that goes viral, puts her back in the headlines and makes her seem "current" even though she's been on the road for decades,' the Living Nostradamus continued. If she were to sign with a big network, Salomé suggested that she could use that momentum to introduce her own line of utensils or publish more cookbooks. She could use the momentum to launch a new line of utensils or more cookbooks, capitalizing on the good times with strong sales in stores and online. In May, an insider revealed to Daily Mail that those close to Ray are 'concerned,' especially after the Mother's Day video that she posted where she appeared to be slurring her words He warns that her brand could become 'irrelevant' if it fails to evolve over time. In May, an insider revealed to Daily Mail that those close to Ray are 'concerned,' especially after the Mother's Day video that she posted where she appeared to be slurring her words. 'Those close to Rachael are so concerned,' the insider disclosed. 'She has shut people out and lives a very secluded life.' 'She seems lost and when anyone reaches out to her she doesn't respond. 'Rachael was always so meticulous about her appearance, and it is very telling and concerning that she now just doesn't care. It is indicative of a bigger issue.'

Racheal Ray suffers ANOTHER devastating career setback after pitiful meet and greet turnout
Rachael Ray has suffered yet another career setback - this time with her television series dramatically declining in viewership as it enters its third season. The celebrity chef, 56, released the third season of her program, titled Meals in Minutes, in April. However, the TV star's viewership is reportedly on the decline, with The Sun revealing the dwindling numbers for the FYI Network show. The outlet reported that the June 2 episode of Rachael Ray's Meals in Minutes brought in just 27,000 viewers. The June 9 episode did attract an increased audience of 43,000 - but the number is still disappointing compared to previous dizzying heights. Variety reported The Rachael Ray Show, which aired from 2006 to 2023 on ABC, reached two million viewers during during the height of popularity in 2012. The show dramatically concluded in 2023. As an insider previously told the Daily Mail, Ray 'has not had the easiest time' since the show ended, adding the show was her 'pride and joy, and it was her life for so many years.' Daily Mail has reached out to Ray's representative and FYI Network for comment about the latest viewing figures. Ray has sparked concern over the past few months, with the chef often appearing to slur or forget her words. In June, the famous chef appeared at a ticketed meet-and-greet and bottle signing in New York to promote her gin brand, Staple Gin. But despite initially drawing hype on social media, the event - at the Broadway Spirits store in Manhattan - got off to a rocky start when there were just 20 fans in line as the signing was due to begin, an insider has exclusively revealed to the Daily Mail. Even more disappointing, per the insider, is that the small group of fans - who had coughed up $50 per ticket - were then forced to wait in 80F heat for Ray to actually turn up. She ended up arriving '20 minutes late,' the source said but was in a 'cheerful mood' as she waved to fans and thanked them for coming. The $50 price tag promised to include a meet and greet with the former Food Network star, a signed bottle of her gin and a photo opportunity. Adding insult to injury, and due to the small number of fans gathered, the event essentially wrapped up in less than an hour. It had been scheduled to run from 1pm to 3pm, but, per the insider, 'around halfway through the event there was no line outside.' Last October, Ray had shared that she'd suffered 'a couple of bad falls' while carrying wood for a fire. But that, it seemed, was only part of the story. An insider exclusively told to the Daily Mail in May, Ray's family have been left worried for her wellbeing. 'Those close to Rachael are so concerned,' the insider said. 'She has shut people out and lives a very secluded life.' 'She seems lost and when anyone reaches out to her she doesn't respond,' they added. 'Rachael was always so meticulous about her appearance, and it is very telling and concerning that she now just doesn't care. It is indicative of a bigger issue.'
