Rachel Ray’s Husband Says He’s Not A Swinger 0
The National Enquirer, says that Rachael Ray’s husband of 7 years John Cusimano regularly visits a high class, exclusive, members only swingers club called Checkmate in Manhattan. In the interest of journalistic integrity, I’ve decided to illustrate this story with One Direction gifs for no apparent reason. The Daily Mail says:
A source exclusively claimed in the National Enquirer that John Cusimano has been a frequent customer of Checkmate, a club that describes itself as an exclusive alternative lifestyle venue for ‘couples and single ladies only.’
The unnamed source said that Cusimano was spotted in the New York club at least six times, each time with at least one female escort.
Oops, how did that get in there?
Each time, his wife was never with him, the source alleged.
According to the source, Cusimano was spotted at the club both before and after his 2005 marriage to the celebrity chef and author, who is worth more than $60million.
Checkmate, which is located on E. 56th St. in Manhattan, boasts on its website that it is a selective lifestyle establishment with a ‘velvet rope’ policy.
‘Not everyone is selected for membership,’ the website reads.
Those wishing to join must submit a photo, and adhere to the club’s clientele, described as ‘youngish, attractive, vibrant, hip, fit, and well-dressed.’
The club states that those not in the proper attire can be turned away. The source said that Cusimano was one time, because he was clad in shorts and a T-shirt.
The club boasts a lounge area, a co-ed locker room, and a large ‘playroom’ in the back with beds that can accommodate multiple people.
The 45-year-old entertainment lawyer was spotted romping around with women at the club, the source alleged, adding that he’d always stop by the club’s buffet before closing to grab a few bagels for the road.
Bagels? They have a buffet and bagels at a swinger’s club? That sounds like the best swinger’s club ever! Don’t tell Niall – he’ll go there just for the buffett!
Ray’s publicist gave the MailOnline the Sassy Lou Treatment and said it is their policy not to comment on stories published in the Enquirer.
But I guess they changed their tune. Rachael’s rep told the NYDN that the Enquirer is lying:
“This is yet another pack of lies printed by the National Enquirer who have been targeting John and Rachael for years without any merit whatsoever. John’s lawyers have been in contact with the Enquirer and are exploring legal action against the publication for defamation.”
