Paula Deen Makes Public Apology, Gets Fired by Food Network

Friday has been quite the busy day for Paula Deen ... and not in a good way. First, she was a no-show for her "Today" show appearance, then she made an attempt at an apology for her past racist comments (and more) by posting a video to YouTube. As media outlets began picking up the video, in which she begged forgiveness from everyone from her children to her fans, it was suddenly taken down. But within an hour or so, a new apology video went up. And just as it did, other news broke: The Food Network is firing her.

All of the hubub stems from the recent release of her deposition statements for a discrimination lawsuit made by a former employee. In the deposition, Deen admits to having used the N-word, tolerating racist jokes, and mulling over a wedding in which all of the waiters would be black and dressed as slaves.

In her latest apology video, the 66-year-old sits in an office looking into the camera, and kicking things off with her signature "Hello, y'all." Interestingly, she starts off with an apology about skipping her "Today" appearance.

"I was invited this morning to speak with Matt Lauer about a subject that has been very hurtful for a lot of people and Matt, I have to say I have been physically not able to this morning. The pain has been tremendous that I have caused to myself and to others. So I'm taking this opportunity, now that I have pulled myself together and am able to speak, to offer an apology to those that I have hurt," she says in the 2-minute clip. "I want people to understand that my family and I are not the kind of people that the press is wanting to say we are. The color of your skin, your religion, your sexual preference does not matter, but it?s what's in the heart ? and my family and I try to live by that."

Deen continues her apology, ending with "I hope that you forgive me because this comes from the deepest part of my heart?."

Of course, the apology comes too late to salvage her own cooking show. "Food Network will not renew Paula Deen's contract when it expires at the end of this month," it said in a statement. Deen has been with the network for more than a decade.

Earlier Friday, after Deen bailed on the "Today" show interview with Matt Lauer, the NBC News morning show called out her "no-show" in the cold open of its broadcast.

A clearly irritated Lauer said that he spoke with Deen about having a "candid, open and no-holds-barred discussion," but then added that, just minutes before it went to air, the show was contacted by Deen's publicist who relayed that the celebrity chef was exhausted and wouldn't be showing up.

Google, waiters, S&S Cafeteria, 1960's -
Pretty famous chain in the south that now hires rude pinay's instead.

If waiters were dressed as slaves they would have been wearing muzzles so they could not spit in the food. Also, when delivering food from kitchen building to main house, servants/slaves were required to whistle. Whistling stops, punishment begins.

I've seen racist remarks, in some form, from pretty much everyone on this board.

this makes that lawsuit potentially a slam dunk. oh and the plaintiff is not black http://www.syracuse.com/entertainmen..._depositi.html

96ukssob · 06-21-2013, 03:07 PM

no offense, but this is so fucking stupid.

if you are a public figure and run your mouth, you better be able to take the consequences. celebrities ARE different from the average Joe, if you don't like the fact get another job.

racism, sexism and every-other-ism will be around forever, so just be respectful, its not all that difficult to do... and make jokes behind closed doors

Clearly a misunderstanding...

Quote:

Deen has faced extensive criticism for the high amounts of fat, salt, and sugar in her recipes.

She faced particularly strong objections with the release of Lunch-Box Set, a cookbook aimed at children, with Barbara Walters saying of the book, "You tell kids to have cheesecake for breakfast. You tell them to have chocolate cake and meatloaf for lunch. And french fries. Doesn't it bother you that you're adding to this?"

Celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain commented in 2011 that he "would think twice before telling an already obese nation that it's OK to eat food that is killing us."

On January 17, 2012, Deen announced that she had been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes three years before, a disease for which a high-calorie diet is a major contributing factor.

It was also disclosed that Deen is a paid spokesperson for the Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk, whose main export is insulin.

She was called a hypocrite for continuing to promote her high-sugar diet while only disclosing her medical condition when it benefitted her in representing the drug company to market their diabetes management program.

It was alleged in a lawsuit against Deen that "In the presence of Ms. Jackson [Lisa Jackson, a past employee of Paula Deen Enterprises and plaintiff in the suit] and Uncle Bubba's restaurant manager and a vendor, Bubba Hiers stated they should send President Obama to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico so he could n***er-rig it."

According to the court documents, the plaintiff stated that she was appointed by Deen to handle the catering and staff for Bubba's wedding in 2007, and she asked Deen what the servers should wear;

"Well what I would really like is a bunch of little n***ers to wear long-sleeve white shirts, black shorts and black bow ties, you know in the Shirley Temple days, they used to tap dance around," the plaintiff alleged Deen told her. "Now, that would be a true Southern wedding wouldn't it? But we can't do that because the media would be on me about that."

In a case former employee Lisa Jackson brought against Deen, Deen stated in her deposition that she has used the "N Word" at times, saying "Yes, of course" she did, and also acknowledged making racist jokes, though she claims she is not racist. "It's just what they are?they're jokes ... most jokes are about Jewish people, rednecks, black folks. ... I can't determine what offends another person."[

I hope Paula Deen chokes on a donut and deep fries in hell...

(j/k, I don't wish such on anyone, although I prolly would have fired her under the circumstances, although I'm not sure what her un-nutricious appeal is anyway.

Lets face it her show/cooking and the network are on the wane for all except the totally food glutton dumbasses all over. She is close to retiring and has already banked. This little flap and her firing will help food network make people think they give a shit. Which I am sure they dont.

Anyone here eaten at her restaurants? I have. That shit will kill you. Truly payback to all who go there. I had to rest after I ate at Lady and Sons. I would never eat there again.

It is ALWAYS packed though. To work there has got to be one of the worst food service jobs in Savannah.

Brassmonkey your avatar is the most racist thing I've seen in quite a long time. I mean its ghetto chic but not even Kardashian chic.

I will say this re: the n word. When it's battered about by the top entertainers as part of comedy or as a term of everyday greeting/endearment among blacks it loses the harsh negativity it's also supposed to convey. Lead by example comes to mind.

What I'm saying is if the word is supposed to be so toxic don't have public figures in the Black community desensitizing how offensive it's supposed to be by constantly making light of it.
