After news that a second Gordon Ramsay reality TV chef committed suicide this week, “Top Chef” judge Eric Ripert slammed the Scottish chef via Twitter. “Nothing personal against Gordon Ramsay, he is a poor inspiration for professional chefs on his shows,” Ripert tweeted. “Who performs better scared, insulted?” Joseph Cerniglia, who appeared on Ramsay’s “Kitchen Nightmares,” was found floating in the Hudson River earlier this week after he jumped off the George Washington Bridge. There is no direct link between Cerniglia’s death and Ramsay; Cerniglia had serious debt issues, owing up to $80,000 through his restaurant in Fair Lawn, New Jersey. This wasn’t the first chef with ties to Ramsay to commit suicide. Rachel Brown, who appeared on “Hell’s Kitchen,” shot herself in her Dallas home in 2007.
