I’m quoted in a sidebar about colorful or long-shot employment litigation, and mention the Rachael Ray anorexic employee suit and the Milwaukee cop who got disability for the stress of being fired over roughing up a suspect. On the latter case, by the way, rather than saying that the cop’s disability payments continue “to this day”, I should have used a phrase like “at last report”. (Brian Moore, “Tort Stories”, New York Post, Nov. 3; revised slightly to clarify final point).

Claim: Rachael Ray food show scorned anorexic

Aaron Ferguson, who used to work as an accountant for the popular cooking show, says executives there made caustic comments about the skinny physique of the show’s executive in charge. These comments apparently wounded and offended Ferguson, who says that he himself suffers from the eating disorder anorexia. There’s a retaliation claim, too: Ferguson says that after he went to HR to complain, his boss began to treat him badly. (”Rachael Ray Employee Claims Anorexia Bias”, CBS/AP, Jul. 3; “Rachael’s Show Hates the Skinnies”, TMZ, Jul. 3)(via PopeHat).
