Rachael Ray reveals health issue causing ‘slurred’ speech while hosting burger festival with Brooklyn Beckham

Rachel Ray blamed a “bum wisdom tooth” for her “slurred” speech amid recent health concerns.

The celebrity chef, 57, revealed her health woes while hosting the Blue Moon Burger Bash 2.0 with Brooklyn Beckham Friday night.

An eyewitness told the Daily Mail on Monday that Ray “made a comment about how she had a ‘bum wisdom tooth,’ which is why she was talking the way she was.”

The insider also alleged “something was definitely off about her” and it “was actually a bit cringe watching her on stage with Brooklyn because he looked uncomfortable next to her.”

Ray allegedly made “odd” comments throughout the event, including making “fun of Brooklyn’s name when she compared it to the city Brooklyn and laughed about it.”

The eyewitness also recalled that “she said having the all-star judges at the event was ‘cuckoo-pants,'” referring to Ja Rule, Ana Navarro and Sunny Anderson.

“She also made an odd comment about how the event brings together ‘the rich and the poor,’ which made no sense since there was only one general admission price.”

In video obtained by TMZ, Beckham cozied up with Ray at the event, which was part of the New York City Wine & Food Festival, as they spoke to the crowd around them.

The former talk show host first sparked concern last July when she exhibited troubling behavior at an event for her gin line.

Dozens of paying fans waited at the Broadway Spirits store in stifling heat, only for Ray to arrive “20 minutes late,” according to the Daily Mail.

An insider noted that something “seemed off” as she displayed allegedly “bizarre behavior” while greeting fans and handing out bottles of her gin and baseball caps.

“She got oddly close to some people, hugging them in a way that seemed overly familiar as she posed for photos,” the source continued.

She then wrapped up the meet-and-greet “in less than one hour.”

Back in May, the Food Network alum also worried fans when she appeared to have “slurred” her words in a cooking video and confessed to having “a couple of bad falls.”

“I don’t recognize Rachel [sic] 😮,” one viewer wrote at the time, while another added, “Rachel [sic]. Are you okay? You don’t look well.”

However, Ray appeared fine when she made a rare appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show” last week before co-hosting the cooking event with Beckham, 26.

Ray rose to fame for her unpretentious cooking style and down-home demeanour on the Food Network. She then hosted a nationally syndicated talk show called “Rachel Ray.”
