Gaining Weight
What do the tabloids love more than a celeb scandal? Celebrity weight gain. In 2016, the tabloids were reporting on Ray’s apparent weight gain to which she replied that the gain was the result of her struggle with menopause. Menopause causes hormonal changes which caused Ray to gain weight, experience binge eating, migraines, and night sweats. As a result, Ray consulted specialists to help ease the damaging effects and was successful with a homeopathic approach.
Rachael Ray Versus Oprah Winfrey
As far as talk show hosts are concerned, Oprah is the Queen. And her fans are pretty protective. So when Rachael Ray was accused of making ‘disparaging racial remarks’ about Oprah in 2007 while at dinner with her team members, and friends of Oprah, her fans went into frenzy mode. Of course Ray immediately denied the allegations, saying that she admired Oprah and appreciated all of the kindness extended to her by Oprah.
