Yahoo Lifestyle Fans Express Serious Concern for Rachael Ray After Worrying New Cooking Video
Rachael Ray's fans are proving they will always have her back.
After one of the celebrity chef's recent Instagram videos prompted a flurry of hateful comments and concerns, Ray's loyal supporters came to her defense to shut down the critics.
Earlier this week, the 30 Minute Meals star shared an Instagram video of her making a meal in honor of the late Tony Bennett, whose favorite dish was "ossobuco," described as "succulent braised veal shanks with creamy polenta and bread."
But instead of focusing on her cooking chops, several users in the comments were concerned over her appearance in the clip, with some users saying Ray, 56, didn't look quite right.
"@rachaelray I love you but are you ok? I’m seriously concerned," one user wrote under the post, while another chimed in, "I'm not sure what is going on with her, but she doesn't look well. I hope she is ok."
Others pointed out that one side of Ray's mouth appeared to be "much lower than the other," and that it sounded like she may have been "slurring" her words.
"She doesn't look or sound good," someone else wrote.
"OMG someone get this woman help !" another person implored while claiming, "She looks and acts like she has been drinking all the time."
But several fans of the cooking show personality weren't going to stand for the negative comments, including one of Ray's defenders who replied in the comments, "God you people are rude!!!!!"
"She's aging like the rest of us," someone else wrote in her defense. "Maybe she has a medical condition, maybe she is on medication. Regardless, no need to be mean."
"Wow, tough crowd. I can’t believe the amount of criticism in this post celebrities are human beings and have feelings too. I can’t imagine being Rachael and reading these comments."
"My goodness, all you perfect people making the most awful, hateful comments. MOVE ALONG!" another commenter stressed, while another user reminded the haters, "People are going through different things in life that we don't know. Let's just be kind."
