What the heck happened to Paula Deen?
Technically she wasn't fired, her show just wasn't renewed.
The law suit and what is stated is not pretty. All about the "slave" party she wanted and how her husband referred to the plaintiff as his "Jew girl". .I know part of it talks about her great grandfather who committed suicide because his slaves were freed.
I have never watched her show. The last I heard she was being attacked for being diagnosed as a diabetic but still pushing her unhealthy recipes
I think the Food Network had had enough of her scandals.
What bugs me are the people jumping to defend her who assume that everyone has used the N word and other racial insults and she should be given a pass.
But, it all comes down to a private company deciding who is going to represent them.
