Kitchen Disaster! Rachael Ray Packs On 105 Pounds

Roly-poly Rachael Ray has ballooned to a scale-crushing 277 pounds! As seen here, The National ENQUIRER caught the Titanic-sized TV cook at a White House dinner, where shocked eyewitnesses reported that she struggled to make it up the stairs into President Obama’s recent state dinner. The once-dishy kitchen diva then sailed out of the glitzy bash carrying doggie bags stuffed with food!

Rachael — seen here in New York City on Oct. 17, 2016 — has gained “over 105 pounds,” said Dr. Stuart Fischer, The National ENQUIRER’s chief medical correspondent, who has not treated the chef. “It’s grotesque — especially coming from a supposed health expert and diet guru! If this is the end result of the ‘Rachael Ray Diet Plan,’ count me out!”

The massive weight gain may be life-threatening for the 5'3" lifestyle icon, added another medical expert. “That amount of weight gain in a relatively short time is very unhealthy and can put sudden stress on the heart,” said Chicago-based plastic surgeon Dr. Otto Placik, who has not treated Rachael.

Rachael, 48, was rail-thin in 2003, soared more than 50 pounds in 2008 — and then shed nearly all that by 2009. But she’s turned to food for comfort after being body-slammed by a cruel double-whammy. Her husband, John Cusimano, has been caught in a number of bizarre sexual indiscretions — including visits to a swingers club and a woman’s claim he paid her to act out kinky fetishes. Another woman has said she carried on a five-year romance with John while he was married to Rachael!

"The Rachael Ray Show” took daytime TV by storm in 2006 with an average of about 2.6 million viewers daily. But her audience has plunged by more than half to 1.2 million a day — and her show’s about to get canceled! “Rachael’s been secretly told by CBS bosses that her syndicated show will not be renewed because her ratings have fallen off so drastically,” snitched an industry insider.
