Rachel Ray Has Surgery On Vocal Cord 

Does this mean no more rasp?!

Talk show host and Food Network star Rachel Ray has had a cyst removed from her vocal cord.

Ray underwent the procedure last week. According to Ray’s rep, Charlie Dougiello, “Rachael decided to have a benign cyst removed from her vocal cord.”

Dougiello says that “the minor, non-invasive procedure was a success and she is already resting at home.”
Prior to the surgery, Ray had been attempting months of vocal therapy to no avail. She had once scheduled this exact surgery, but canceled to try other methods.

Citing Ray’s boisterous personality, Dougiello joked that “the hardest part for Rachael is going to be giving her voice a rest for the next week or so.”
