foodtvandme.com is the unofficial food network fansite with news, reviews, and my attempts at those great recipes you see on tv.

I have to start out by apologizing to you all.  I’ve been a little lazy with my blog lately due to life and stuff.  Thanksgiving was a big hoopla and after all that cooking, I took a little break from all things food.  But now, I’m back.  What brought me back, you might say?  My brother.  He mentioned a little tid bit about the shiny happy cook, Rachael Ray that I hadn’t heard anything about.  My brother doesn’t follow any sort of food news and the fact that he heard about the reported sex scandal with Rachael Ray’s husband and I didn’t, was shocking.  I had to look the story up immediatley.

According to a story in the BostonHerald.com, on Wednesday, December 13th, writers Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa state:

“John Cuisimano, the rocker hubby of TV food queen Rachael Ray, is spitting mad over tabloid reports that he had a kinky affair with a Florida woman, whom he supposedly paid to spit on him!”  

The article goes on to say that this story was broken by the questionably reliable, National Enquirer.  I have to admit that even though the Enquirer may not exactly be the New York Times, they sometimes do get things right.  I’m not saying they are necessarily ethical in their methods or that this story is true, but one never knows.  I almost want to believe that this story is true.  It gives Rachael a little bit of a dark side.  Like there’s more to her that we realize.  She isn’t perfect.  Her marriage has problems like so many of us out there.  In a way I like that.  It makes her more relatable and perhaps a little easier to watch.

In addition to the sex scandal stuff, the article on BostonHerald.com does shine some more light on who the husband is.  I never knew he was a rocker.  In fact, I didn’t even know his name is John.  The sex scandal might be a rouse to shoot his band into the rock star stratosphere.  You never know.

What are your thoughts?  Do you think there is any merit to this claim?  Are we all idiots for even entertaining the notion that this might be true?
