Rachel Ray Sued by Overweight Teen?

You all know the annoying “celebrity cook” Rachel Ray. She’s know for her simple recipes and that raspy voice that a lot of men find sexy. She also hosts her own show which is appropriately titled, “The Rachel Ray Show”. The show is usually filled with light-heartedness, cooking and inspirational stories. However, an overweight teen by the name of Christina Pagliarolo is suing the show. The 260lb teen claims that the Rachel Ray show was more intense than the Biggest Loser.

Christina agreed to be apart of the show, which featured a story on overweight teens in America. Christina claims that the show’s trainer made her run like Forrest Gump (were assuming it was after he had his leg braces removed.)  She also says that the trainer constantly yelled at her and made her hike in the mountains, and that he put her on a StairMaster and kept speeding it up until she fell down to the ground. The teenager says she suffered multiple injuries and claims that her legs are really messed up now. She is suing for negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Are you kidding me? It sounds like she is describing a normal workout. Is she suing the trainer for getting her to exercise? I’m confused. I know the whole concept of getting up and moving might be new to her, but I can assure you that putting someone on a StairMaster is not abuse. And run like Forrest Gump? That’s not even a good analogy! Forrest Gump jogged at leisurely pace across America. He wasn’t doing wind sprints in the gym.

I can’t wait until this lawsuit gets slammed in court.
