TMZ spoke with Ramiele Malubay's Spanish teacher at Zephyrhills High School, who distinctly remembers something that could knock Rammy off "American Idol" -- she's extremely allergic to peanuts!
This could be vital information for fellow "Idol" contestants who might want to sabotage Ramiele if they ever feel she's a threat. Fortunately, based on previous performances, that probably won't be an issue.

17. As the mom to a kid with food allergies (including peanuts), I find this post shocking and careless. Peanuts allergies (along with many other food allergies) can be FATAL!! Nothing funny in "jokingly" suggesting someone slip her peanuts. Shame on you, TMZ!!!

19. Seriously? You're going to get so sued hardcore if something ever did happen to her like that.. that's not even funny. You're suggesting someone kill her to win a stupid competition? Is TMZ HONESTLY going down the drain that quickly that THIS is the crap you have to post? This is up there along with the Kristy Lee Cook hot dog post..

20. What a horrible post. People can DIE-have an anaphylactic reaction to an allergen. To try and plant an idea such as this (even in jest) is completely irresponsible. Shame on TMZ.

22. if some nutcase reads this and acts on it TMZ will be out of business and perhaps Harvey can spend some time in the slammer. just a suggestion, but you guys better pull this ASAP. Harvey, you claim to be a lawyer?

23. Hey TMZ, why stop there? I think some Arsenic would put a damper on all of the contestant's performances.

24. Really distasteful post. Careless references like this make the average person think its OK to joke about peanut allergies, and scary thing is that if someone actually did screw around and "slip" an allergic-person a nut as a joke, it could cause death.
Extremely irresponsible and distasteful, TMZ. Please remove this post, or at least provide an update acknowledging the incredibly poor judgment.

25. ARE YOU SUGGESTING MURDER?
it sure sounds like it!
Sometimes young reporters/bloggers go too far in their need for attention grabbing headlines.
This is one of them.
Grow up and show some responsibility!
Harvey, teach your "reporters" to have some cooth.

Posted at 3:03PM on Mar 13th 2008 by She's not alone!
27. wow that is so low for you to suggest something, even in joking matter, of something could potentially be dangerous. Not cool

29. Suggesting murdering a contestant??? This is the most ignorant thing I've ever read on TMZ. Peanut allergies can cause DEATH!!!!! Millions of kids have life-threatening food allergies. Perhaps the story should be that Ramiele can be a success story about living with peanut allergies, despite all the losers in the world that make jokes about how easy it is to kill someone peanut allergies. I really hope you didn't write this story Harvey. Whoever wrote this story needs to be reprimanded!!! Losers writing jokes about sneaking peanuts into someone's meal that has peanut allergy is like telling someone to put a gun to someone's head and pull the trigger. Not funny! TMZ should be ashamed of themselves.
