Aaron Ferguson Rachel Ray
DELISH! Rachel Ray TV does not allow for anorexia in the workplace claims a new lawsuit being filed by Aaron Ferguson.
As former accountant for the Rachel Ray tv show, Ferguson is seeking $1 million against the brodcaster of the Rachel Ray show (Ray herself is not named as a defendant) claiming he was the victim of eating disorder discrminiation in the workplace.
Reportedly “Aaron Ferguson said in papers filed in state Supreme Court in Manhattan that he has suffered from anorexia for about six years. He claimed his supervisor repeatedly exhibited “hostile behavior” and made “vile,” discriminatory and hurtful comments. The comments included, “Anorexics are sick in the head,” and, “Anorexics should not be able to work,” his court papers say.”
Ferguson claims he worked for the show by CBS in July 2007 but was forced out by October of that year. The lawsuit is against CBS Corp., CBSTD Inc. and three show employees. Ray is not a defendant. CBS would not comment. Ferguson’s lawyer said that “the things that were said in front of my client were hurtful, and once they knew he had a problem with it they should have stopped.”
