The “Rachael Ray” show or also called “The Rachael Ray Show” is hosted by Rachael Ray and is a how-to series that began in 2006. Besides featuring Rachael Ray’s culinary skills, the show also invites celebrities, musical performers, and guests who participate in a discussion of a wide variety of topics like romance, love, dating, marriage, relationships, family, friends, children and parenting, fashion and beauty, health, work and money, and eating.

Christina Pagliarolo, the teen who had agreed to participate in the segment about overweight teens, is suing the “Rachael Ray” show because she had to reportedly hike in the mountains and exercise on a StairMaster all the while being screamed at and being humiliated.

According to TMZ’s report, during the exercises, the overweight teen was being yelled at for not being able to perform better. While on the StairMaster, the trainer also reportedly cranked up the speed so high that the teen fell off the machine.

“Christina says she was a mess after training ... suffering serious injuries including messed up legs.”

Despite falling of the StairMaster, the teen says that the trainer yelled at her for falling off and that she ended up not only with physical injuries but also emotional injuries including humiliation and anxiety.

In response to the allegation by the teen, a representative for the “Rachael Ray” show told TMZ that “We haven't received this purported lawsuit but if it does materialize we will defend ourselves against it vigorously and fully expect to prevail."
