Abandon Ship

Nobody wants to work with her!

There has been a series of defections at Rachael Ray's magazine, Every Day.

Staffers have been leaving en masse, and just within the past week, two high-profile editors have quit, including the executive editor.

The mag will probably fold by the end of the year!

Sell-out, whore…………I'm sick of seeing her EVERYWHERE. Used to like her, but what a bitch. And she hates kids, that's why she wouldn't do anything for the Make A Wish Foundation. Hope she dies real soon.

104

Oh God….how I hate that bitch. She is supposed to be some cooking genius?? Everyone in the audience at here show is like they are watching a cooking God. Just because she throws cheese on her food shes cooking. Oh yeah. Everything she cooks is the same.Some kind of fried meat, throw some macaroni in and tomato sauce then cover with cheese. Yeah tasty. Has she ever heard of Hamburger Helper? What an idiot. She had to be licking Oprah to get that show on the air. Her voice makes me cringe. She'll be an unknown in a few years. I buy nothing that she endorses. Especially Dunkin' Dognuts!!!!!

Of course no one wants to work with her…. she has the WORST VOICE IN THE WORLD! And the way she talks is sooooooo annoying I have to quickly flip channels when I see her on T.V. I'd rather watch Oprah kick the shit outta her than listen to her talking. I can't believe someone actually married her and has to look and listen to her everyday. Rachael, do us all a favour and shut yer piehole. You're obnoxious and full of yerself! I'd rather watch the Swedish chef cook than you. Get some class you slag!

Her magazine was given to me as a gift for a year. I found maybe 10 receipes that I use daily and that's about it. She has some nice things in there from other shops you can find for unique gifts. I am a fan of the original bitch Diva, Martha Stewart, who's mag I have been subscribing to for 15 years. Rachel is an annoying twat.
I hate Rachael! says – reply to this

107

I hope Dunkin Donuts fires her fat ass for her snarky comments. Ungrateful bitch!
Rachael's husband cheats with me! says – reply to this

Re: Michaela – I totally agree and Martha has more class in one little pinkie than Rachael has in her entire fat ass!

I have been trying for two years to get tickets to her show for my handicapped daughter who just ADORES Rachel!!!!! NO response from her or her crew.
Oprah: What were u thinking? says – reply to this

I am so tired of everytime I turn on the TV or the radio i have to listen to this annoying bitch. Why is she so overexposed?? Go away and don't come back!!

I hear she's a MEGA BITCH….especially towards other women.

Editorial staff defections are never a good thing.

But then lots of magazines are in crisis right now. I wouldn't be surprised if RR's folded this year at all.
Rachael is annoying! says – reply to this

113

Re: Kathleen – That's because she hates kids!! Everyone knows that she can't stand them because she wants to be the center of attention not some cute little kid.

114

Some of you posters are sayin’ her husband sleeps around. Hmmmm…the few times I’ve seen them together on T.V. I thought he “does not seem to be into her.”

Yet another Oprah Flop-o!
1/ Backing a Muslim for president of the US
2/Big Headed Blowhard Dr Phil
3/ Phoney Lying Author's Bio she pushed everyone to buy
4/ Killer Plastic Surgeon she pushed on her show
5/ the freakin Gayle King TV show, come on now Pleeazzzze!

Someone has to stop this woman in her tracks

Re: Alisha – Your post is almost to stupid to reply too… But I will anyway, I cant resist telling stupid people that their stupid! You're STUPID!!! I liked RR UNTIL I started watching her show! Her show is what made me hate her. Not jealousy over her annoying voice, annoying phrases, oh and def. not over her MAN HANDS!!! Good Lord her hands are huge!!!

I don't enjoy Rachael Ray. She's a dumpy little troll that grunts about, farting those annoying dictions out of her starfish like, "EVOO". We have Oprah And Bob Greene on TV, focusing on motivating people to have a healthier, better life… while Rachael attempts to inspire her audience cooking up cheap 30 minute meals chalked full of (her favorite) fattening cheese and salt. Mmm yah, that's good for the blood pressure. I imagine Rachael sits at home eating a bowl of salt (throw a bit over her shoulder) and cheese coated in extra virgin olive oil in one of those tight wrap dresses she adorns so frequently. Those dresses fit her horribly!!! Her face doesn't belong on television, or in print. Away with Everyday!
Cocopuff says – reply to this

121

Liked her before she became Oprahized. Seems everyone that touches Oprah turns into an overnight success and then crash and burn. Frankly I can't stand the big mouth anymore. Go back to 30 minute meals.
bb says – reply to this

122

I HATE EVOO AND RACHEL WHO CANT COOK
L.G. says – reply to this

123

She is being overexposed. I have never heard anyone say she is a bitch but her mother is known for being nasty and mean in Lake George (where Rachael grew up). I think the fueds with Oprah are false because Oprah always praises her. I think she is a small town girl done good and maybe her time is up or maybe people are jealous.
ProzacMom says – reply to this

124

I hope the little garden gnome falls flat on her FAT ass. Remember her show about eating for 40 bucks? Did anyone ever notice the tiny ass tips she gave people? Go to bitterwaitress.com and read how roundly hated she is by servers everywhere..
LMAO says – reply to this

125

#120, LOL. She does use a lot of cheese! I think that's an Italian thing. They don't know how else to cook so they fatten and grease it up. The other Italian on the show (Guardia-or whatever her name is) also uses a lot of cheese and salt.

There's a girl who works on a morning radio show in Atlanta who LOVED RR…until they had her in-studio. SHe was so excited to finally meet her idol and when RR was there she was a total bitch. The DJ now hates her and will take any opportunity to shred her on air. And this is the #1 morning radio show. The Joker needs to watch her small titties and big ass before word spreads and she's out of a job.

STOP HATING! says – reply to this

129

Why is all this backlash coming out now? People love to bring you up then watch you fail. I know several people who have worked with her through her teenage years until now and all I have heard was how nice and down to earth she is. Her upbeat personality is real annd she is very well liked.

I don't think this story is true. Perez often posts shit that ain't true everyone
mabba says – reply to this

131

NO SHIT! She is an obnoxious, chain smoking, drunking big mouth who got to the to using her big mouth in more ways than talking!

She totally is full of herself. When I saw her biography and the joker face said she had argued with a gourmet food buyer when she just started at Macy's in NYC, and her 'training' was working at HoJO's I knew she was an egotistical loud mouth!

Another OPRAH disaster!

142

I am so very tired of this whore bitch! I ordered her magazine, paid for it, got two issues, it stopped. I called, they said it was "trial order," but I paid full price. Some months later, I got one more issue. Fuck her! I love Perez for cumming up her mouth. God, we're so ready for her to fuck off and die to Mars.

Look I find Rachel just as annoying as everyone else - but with all honesty she's no where as annoying as paula deen.
EVOO is SOOOOO over says – reply to this

144

This girl with her joker face and her bags of money in the bank. I hate the fact she's not humble anymore. Someone else commented on the FoodTV "biography" of her where she yucks it up like a horse about how she put one over on Macy's to get hired and so forth. She's really a waitress at HoJos at heart who cooks. Her dirty little short finger nails on camera BUG me. And her puppy breasts are just plain annoying. For Christ's sake, get some implants now that you're printing money in your basement.

Someone's GOT to have major dirt on this bitch! I hate RR so very much, I dream of outing her as a former crack addict, stripper, call girl, ANYTHING!
She totally had to be that bitch in high school that all the teachers loved but took it in the ass or something from the football team.
kim says – reply to this

153

I really can't stand Rachael Ray. I find her really annoying and loud, plus she's kind of chubby. I read a recent interview where she said she was a size 4 and I laughed out loud. Not that there's anything wrong with being a curvy/thick woman, but don't say you're a size 4 to the world when you're really a size 10!

She is a TOTAL bitch. I worked for a "certain cable network" and she was a huge diva bitch. She's a fat ass who just got lucky. RR has no talent.

To #149:

Hard work? We all work our asses off. Retchel has had the benefit of more than one casting couch to get herself (and her bosses) [a]head.

I hope her mag, her endorsement deals (hopefully Dunkin fired her on the spot) and all her shitty, vapid TV shows go down the toilet. The sooner the better.

rrisannoying says – reply to this

161

thought I was the only one who hated her and her nasty voice. my husband says she has piggy fingers. When she first started out in 30 min meals, she wasn't bad…calm, quiet voice, down to earth and no fake tan. Seems success has gotten to her, because now she trying too hard to be all cute and sexy. NOT! She so damn annoying. It's obvious she's a bitch, why else would people hate her without actually knowing her. Haters of RR can sense her bitchiness and fakeness throught the screen

The sooner that useless, Rachael Ray ego-trip magazine folds, the better. She's an over-exposed, no-talent hack who should go back to being a HoJo's fountain girl in Buttfuck, Nowhere. Oprah, get you head out of your ass. Quit shoving blithering idiots down our throats. Rachael fans, wake the fuck up. She's a fraud and a selfish, snotty bitch in real life.

HA - I actually had the displeasure of meeting her. She did a segment for the food network on a restaurant I was working at. The woman knows nothing about food, for the record. But, I guess that's not why she sells. When she interviewed my friends and I she asked us the most mindless questions, and annoyed us to tears.

God how I hate RR!! Quit watching Food Network because of the fact that she's on every 5 minutes on that channel. What grown woman in her right mind thinks it's cute to talk like a damned baby? Annoying voice, stupid baby talk, fat ass, tight shirts emphasizing her teeny tiny breast-ettes…..BLECH! Enough of this hag already.

179

Boy, people who hate Rachael really hate her in a big way, including Perez, who is twisting the facts here. This story is basically a lie. The 2 editors who are leaving are leaving because another start-up magazine is luring them away. This has nothing to do with Rachael, who lends her name to the publication but actually has very little editorial input. In other words, this isn't about Rachael, love her or hate her. Perez, you should apologize for this shit, if you have the balls.

Re: Alisha – — I have seen her show, since you mention it. And I agree with most of the people her. I think she an annoying, loud, arrogant, egotistical, self-absorbed twit … and those are my better comments. I have also prepared her foods, . My food bill went through the roof, and her food was absolutely horrible. — Somebody needs to drop a house on her.
