Celebrity Justice
Rachael's Show Hates the Skinnies

An anorexic guy -- yes, you heard correctly -- says Rachael Ray's show spit him out because he blew the whistle on their skinny-hating ways.

Admitted anorexic Aaron Ferguson just filed suit in Manhattan, alleging that his boss -- the "Rachael" accountant -- slammed the show's executive-in-charge, Priscilla Taussig, as "too skinny to do her job," demeaned anorexics as "sick in the head," and even commented, "Did you see Priscilla today ... all you can see are her sickly bones."

Ferguson says when he went to HR to complain, they digested his complaints -- and then his boss promptly made his life "so miserable" that he had to bail. He claims he was offered $4K to sign a separation waiver.

Aaron wants $1.5 mil in damages. Rachael herself is not named in the suit. Rachael's peeps didn't immediately return a call for comment.

16. Anorexics are sick in the head. Very sick and they need treatment. He neds to deal with it rather than projecting his issues on to others.

17. Anorexia is not a mental disorder, it is the ultimate example of narcissism, The people hate fat people so much that they will starve3 themselves not to be fat. Rachel Ray is not fat. If you think she is, you have a mental disorder. The best things to do with anorexics is to tell them they are fat. Then maybe they will starve themselves to death. The world doesn't need anorexics. Please keep starving and die.

19. Freakin amazes me these lawsuits. My 77 year old mom fell over a stool left in the middle of the aisle in Walmart and broke her ankle. Security even got it on camera. She got $1,000 and had to pay her own medical bills. Guess we just don't have the right lawyers in Pittsburgh as they do in New York and LA!
