Food Network star Paula Deen found herself under fire when allegations of racism and sexual harassment came to light from a recent deposition. In turn she lost her job and was unable to save face, even with a strange series of apology videos and asking people to throw rocks at her.
Yet after all that, the judge has thrown out the claim filed against Deen for some intriguing reasons.
Paula Deen had her first interview following the controversy over racist comments in a deposition and her subsequent firing from the Food Network -- and to say her conversation with 'Today' host Matt Lauer was a tearfully brutal affair would be a vast understatement.
Despite her efforts to save face -- with not one but two apology videos -- that deposition stemming from a lawsuit which revealed her casual use of the n-word (as well as other seemingly racist actions) has cost Paula Deen her job at the Food Network.
After bailing on an interview with 'The Today Show' this morning, Paula Deen has issued a public apology for routinely using the n-word back in 1986 and for assuming that being racist is cool if you're old and Southern.
Food Network star Paula Deen, who announced earlier this year that she’s battling diabetes, has another war on her hands: she and her brother Bubba Hiers are being sued for sexual harassment, infliction of emotional distress and assault.
Looks like all that butter and fried chicken may have caught up with Paula Deen — on Tuesday, the Food Network star told Al Roker from NBC’s ‘Today’ show that she has Type 2 diabetes.
Back in April it was reported that the queen of heavy cooking Paula Deen has been keeping a little secret from us. Ok maybe its not just a little secret, it's actually a pretty big deal. According to sources Paula Deen has been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, and she's about to come clean about the rumors.
