Former Food Network star Rachael Ray made a bit of a comeback by sharing behind-the-scenes clips from an upcoming episode of her show, Rachael Ray Meals in Minutes, on social media.
Rachael Ray seems to be back to normal
Rachael Ray has eased her fans’ worries with a recent video on social media, where she appeared just like they remembered her. The former Food Network star posted a clip on Instagram showing her acting like her usual self.
A few weeks ago, some fans got concerned after noticing her speech was a bit slurred in a video. But with this new behind-the-scenes footage from her show, Rachael Ray Meals in Minutes, she reassured them.
In the video, Rachael shared a few recipes that could be served for brunch, lunch, or dinner. Fans were happy to see that she seemed much better compared to how she was in the earlier clip.
One fan commented, “I don’t know what everyone was worried about; you look great, Rachael!” Another added, “She looks better now compared to her earlier videos, and her haircut looks good.” A third person said, “You’re looking much better here.”
While many people praised Rachael, a few were still unsure if she was fully back to normal. One asked, “When was this filmed? Something seems (or still is) wrong with her bloated face, slurred speech, and crooked mouth.”
The video that concerned fans was posted earlier this month when Rachael paid tribute to Tony Bennett on Instagram, honoring the anniversary of his death by cooking his favorite dish, ossobuco. Rachael humorously shared a story about how she “almost killed” Tony after accidentally pulling a chair out from under him, causing him to hit his head and fall to the floor. She added, “I thought I killed Tony Bennett, literally. But his wife, Susan, said, ‘He’s fine, he’ll pop back up.’ He made it through dinner. I miss my friend so much.”
During this tribute, fans noticed that Rachael’s usually fast-talking style was slower, and she slurred her words in parts of the video. Some viewers expressed concern, with one saying, “I love you, but are you okay? I’m seriously worried.” Another added, “She seems like she’s been drinking. I love Rachael, but it’s hard to watch her like this.” A third person commented, “It looks like a mini-stroke. Her mouth seems uneven. This makes me so sad.”
Céline Dion Shares Raw Video of Stiff-Person Syndrome Crisis in Never-Seen Footage from New Documentary
In a devastating moment from “I Am: Céline Dion,” the famous person battles through an unexpected and horrifying SPS episode.
Fans are getting an unheard-of glimpse inside Céline Dion’s tribulations during the last few years of her life.
After being diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome in August 2022, the 56-year-old superstar tentatively but proudly returns to the recording studio in a devastating sequence towards the end of her new documentary, I Am: Céline Dion (available for streaming globally on Prime Video).
Shortly after, as part of her continuous treatment regimen, she makes her way to physical therapy and her foot starts to hurt.
Dion’s body locks up, indicating that she is in severe agony while her care team gives her a diazepam nasal spray during the SPS crisis episode. One of her teammates says, “We’ll do a 9-1-1 if she goes back into a spasm.”
In the movie, Dion subsequently remarks, “Every time something like this happens, it makes you feel so embarrassed.” “I’m not sure how to say it. You know that you dislike losing control of yourself?
The five-time Grammy winner thought back on the horrifying moment that director Irene Taylor’s crew captured on camera during her PEOPLE cover interview.
“Overstimulation—whether it be happiness, sadness, sound, or a surprise—can put me into a crisis—that’s one part of the [SPS] condition,” Dion explains, adding that she “did not see” the crisis episode coming that day. “Before something triggered, I was fine.”
Taylor’s understanding of the condition deepened when she was “two feet away” from Dion during the crisis.
Taylor remarks, “That was really amazing, not just for Céline to go through it, but for me to see as well.” “I continued to film because that is how I work, and I thought we would decide later whether or not to incorporate that into the movie.”
Dion and Taylor had developed a close relationship by the time the movie was in post-production, and according to Taylor, “I knew that putting it in the film was really not a risk because she believed in me at that point.” “I really can only thank her for that because she is an open book, was there, and didn’t hold anything back.”
Dion is attempting to humanize the uncommon illness through the movie and contribute to fund-raising efforts for scientific studies in the pursuit of a solution.
Neuropathy has a very broad spectrum. For this reason, I’m making a lot of effort to raise money so that people can speak with their husbands, friends, or neighbors about it,” Dion explains.
Adds Dr. Amanda Piquet, the doctor who diagnosed Dion and director of the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus’s program on autoimmune neurology: “There are many exciting things in store for SPS, and the future looks bright.”
