Former Rachael Ray employee charges anorexia bias

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Thursday, July 3rd 2008, 3:56 PM
A former accountant for Rachael Ray's cooking show has filed a $1 million lawsuit saying he was forced out of his job because he has an eating disorder.
Aaron Ferguson says in Manhattan court papers that he has suffered from anorexia for about six years. He says his supervisor repeatedly exhibited "hostile behavior" and made "vile," discriminatory and hurtful comments.
He says the comments included, "Anorexics are sick in the head."
Ferguson said he began working in July 2007 for CBS Television Distributions Inc., a CBS Corp. unit and the producer of the Rachael Ray show. He says he was forced out in October after he complained.
The lawsuit names CBS Corp., CBSTD Inc., and three individual employees of the show as defendants. Ray is not named.



Those fucking accountants are no damn good. Especially the skinny ones. If you are gonna hire an accountant, always hire one with a few pounds on him. Just Sayn'

"Anorexics are sick in the head."

Not a kind thing to say, certainly, but true, yes?
