Rachel Brown Hell’s Kitchen, Joseph Cerniglia Kitchen Nightmares Suicides: Gordon Ramsay Connection

Wendy — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 15:25:04 +0000

Rachel Brown “Hell’s Kitchen.” Joseph Cerniglia “Kitchen Nightmares.” Both Rachel Brown and Joseph Cerniglia committed suicide. Is there a Gordon Ramsay connection?

Both Rachel Brown and Joseph Cerniglia killed themselves, but does it have anything to do with Gordon Ramsay?

Joseph Cerniglia’s body was found in New York’s Hudson River late last week, and marks the second Gordon Ramsay reality show participant who has commited suicide.

Rachel Brown shot herself in 2007 in her family’s Dallas home. Brown was a competitor on Ramsay’s “Hell’s Kitchen.” She killed herself a year after she came in fifth on the reality show.

Cerniglia, owner of the restaurant Campania, jumped off the George Washington Bridge on Friday. You can see Joe Cerniglia in this 2007 Kitchen Nightmares video, where we learn about his struggling restaurant and debt.

At the time, Gordom Ramsay warned: “Your business is about to f—king swim down the Hudson.” That’s a bit chilling.

Cerniglia’s family posted a thank you on Facebook “to thank all of the friends who have sent their condolences.” Cerniglia leaves behind a wife and three sons.

Too sad.

Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is setting the record straight on rumors that he cheated on his wife. Last week, London’s Daily Telegraph reported that author Sarah Symonds said she and Gordon Ramsay have had a seven-year affair.

Sarah Symonds, incidentally, is the author of Having an Affair: A Handbook for the Other Woman.

Gordon Ramsay, who’s been married to wife Tana for 12 years and has four kids, said during a recent BBC appearance, “I want to give you a big thank you for coming – it’s been a tough week.”

Ramsay joked, “We had a new bed delivered this week – the paparazzi outside must have been thinking that I’d been forced to sleep in the basement. Mattress, mistress, mattress, mistress. What a load of bulls–t. My mum is here so I’m on my best behaviour, ooh la la.”

“Oh f— it, I didn’t do it, mum. I love you.”

Wendy — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 15:04:49 +0000

“Hell’s Kitchen” will return to the television schedule April 1st at 9PM, so fans of tough-as-nails chef Gordon Ramsay won’t have to wait long for all of the yelling and humiliation to begin. The fourth season of “Hell’s Kitchen” was originally supposed to air in summer 2008, but the writers’ strike has pushed the season premiere up to spring 2008. The bump could also give the reality competition more viewers – with the cushy timeslot right after “American Idol’s” performance shows.
