Rachael Ray was attacked by a dog in Union Square Park Saturday while bravely defending her pit-bull mix, Isaboo.

According to the TV host’s rep, “This dog came up - there was no owner in sight - and became aggressive. Rachael and some others shooed it away, but it came back and attacked Isaboo.

Other dogs were involved, and Rachael jumped in and was bit by one of the dogs on the leg. A nurse was in the park and checked her out. She’s fine.”

Sounds like Rachael Ray’s husband might have had a little something cooking on the side. According to the New York Daily News, Jeannine Walz is telling the world that Rachael Ray’s husband, John Cusimano, is a freak and paid her quite a bit of money to perform kinky sex acts during a five year affair. Walz reportedly passed a polygraph test and has pictures with Cusimano.

Walz alleges that the 39-year-old lawyer and musician shelled out cash for her to spit in his face, rub her bare feet on his face and other gamy rituals. The 30-year-old Florida woman contends that they met outside a lesbian bar in New York’s West Village in 2000. That night, she said, Cusimano paid Walz and three friends $20 to spit in his face. “He even took pictures of us doing it,” she tells the tab. Walz said they continued to meet at her apartment and the apartment he shared at the time with Ray, 38. “Sometimes he’d be naked,” she claims. “I always kept my clothes on. “John paid me up to $500 for a session,” she claims. “We’d often have sessions at least twice a month … I virtually supported myself by spitting on him. But there was never any normal sex involved. He once offered to pay me $1,200 to perform a kinky sex act with him, but I refused.” She also alleges, “Sometimes John would buy marijuana or cocaine and we’d use it together.” According to The Enquirer, even after Cusimano married Ray and after Walz moved to Florida, “she often still gets together for her bizarre sessions with Cusimano, she says.”
