In the comment section, netizens expressed concern for her health and asked if she was okay. Likewise, one fan didn’t recognize her due to her different look.
Fans speculated she suffered from anxiety and depression due to her tragic challenges over the years. Some of them also noticed her possible hair loss and weight gain.
Her looks might have differed due to natural aging, but some believed it might have been due to a drinking problem.
Some of her fans also expressed that she might have Parkinson’s disease due to her less vibrant and droopy face.
Rachael was known to have massive weight gain due to stress but lost 40 pounds with the help of a Mediterranean diet.
Nonetheless, Rachael was rumored to have throat cancer when she underwent minor surgery for the removal of a benign cyst on her vocal cord in 2008. She mentioned,
I had a lot of croup as a kid, so I don’t have the strongest vocal cords to begin with. I went to a voice doctor [who] taught me exercises for my throat and to cut back a little on the caffeine.
Despite all the challenges, Rachael Ray continues participating in the culinary and entertainment industries.
