Hell's Kitchen season 11

OH WOW, what a dumb ass janel is/was. Will Mary get the job then?

In one article, a spokesperson from HK said she wouldn't, but that's no official word.

It would be the right thing to do, though.

"Hell's Kitchen" champ Ja'Nel Witt tested positive for cocaine ... and that's why she wasn't allowed to accept the head-chef position at Gordon Ramsay's restaurant in Vegas ... TMZ has learned.

Talk about blowing a huge opportunity ...

Sources extremely familiar with the situation tell us ... Caesars Palace required Witt to submit to a drug test in order to take the job as head chef at the Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill, the position she earned after winning Season 11 of "Hell's Kitchen" earlier this year.

FYI -- Caesars has a notoriously strict drug policy ... and requires all employees to submit to drug testing.

But Witt bombed her test -- one source tells us she "failed miserably" -- and when Caesars found out ... they quickly kicked her ass to the curb.

But there is a silver lining for Witt -- we're told she WILL receive the $250k salary ... despite the fact she won't spend a single day in the kitchen.

Hmmm... we'll have to wait and see if true, though.

what a dumb thing to do! a once in a lifetime opportunity 'blown'!

why in the world would they pay her though?!

I think more info will be coming - it doesn't make sense to pay her, of course.
Another article online said that the application for HK had a question about drug use, and if she lied on that, then it would probably make any further payment void. Hey, but I'm no lawyer...
