MasterChef’ Contestant ‘Mary Jayne’ Sues producers For Allegedly Pressuring Her To Film Following Stroke
2 min read
Despite pleas for help, “MasterChef” contestant Mary Jayne claims she worked in a kitchen while suffering a stroke. She has now filed a lawsuit.
She claims that FOX’s production companies forced her to film for 14 hours while she was showing signs of a stroke, and she was not able to get medical care. Mary was on season 11 of the FOX cooking show.
Mary Jayne suffered the stroke on the morning of March 10, 2020, according to the lawsuit obtained by TMZ. She says she told producers before the shoot she wasn’t sure she could get through the day, but they forced her to take part in a baking challenge.
The challenge was forced on her by producers
The producers did not pay attention to Buckingham’s repeated pleas for medical care when she informed them about her condition before filming the baking challenge. After filming for 14 hours, Buckingham had a stroke.
Buckingham is said to have notified the medic that she had difficulty moving her leg and her left side was sagging while she was baking. However, she was persuaded to continue filming by producers. Unfortunately, this worsened her stroke, necessitating immediate care. She was moved to a hospital at the request of a fellow contestant.
The production company is being sued for negligence by Buckingham following his recovery. It has been reported that production companies Endemol Shine North America and Berkeley Productions are defendants.
What Buckingham does outside ‘MasterChef’
One of the oldest contestants on MasterChef: Legends season 11 was the hospice nursing assistant from Bastrop, Texas. When Buckingham was 4 days old, she was adopted.
Her formative years were spent in Europe during her first four years after she was born in Bastrop, Texas. In addition to playing football for West Point with some pretty incredible players, her father was also an avid runner.
In addition to being a two-time cancer survivor, Buckingham also loves pie baking. Her Instagram profile says she has been called a Pie Queen since 2009. According to her Instagram profile, she won the National Pie Championship in 2009.
Cooking mouth-watering dishes for Buckingham’s loved ones is always a priority. She started cooking at home and then competed in cooking contests after collecting more than 200 cookbooks.
In recent months, Buckingham has documented her culinary journey on a variety of social media platforms.
Buckingham launched an online cooking school and a YouTube channel. MasterChef was her chance to show her skills, but she left during the season due to health problems.
