Anorexic Sues Rachael Ray Show for Firing Him
Aaron Ferguson, a former accountant for The Rachael Ray Show, has filed a lawsuit claiming he was fired due to his eating disorder. Ferguson filed papers in court in Manhattan claiming he’s suffered from anorexia for six years and “his supervisor constantly verbally abused him because of it.”
In court papers, Aaron says his boss made comments like “Anorexics are sick in the head,” and, “Anorexics should not be able to work.“
Aaron said he complained to the higher-ups several times, but they never did [anything] about it. He started working for the show in July 2007 and was “pushed out” in October 2007. He said he was “punished for complaining.”
Ferguson is asking for $1 million for wrongful termination and discrimination. While he never mentions Rachael Ray in his suit, do you think she had anything to do with this? She’s rumored to not be the most pleasant person in the world!
