The Food Network said Friday that it would not renew Paula Deen’s contract when it expires at the end of June.


Diner’s Journal Blog: Paula Deen Issues Video Statement (June 21, 2013)
The announcement followed a bewildering day in which Ms. Deen, the self-proclaimed queen of Southern cooking and a sugary mainstay of the network, failed to show up for an interview on the “Today” show and then begged her family and audience for forgiveness in two online videos for using racial epithets in the past.

She has faced a volley of criticism this week over her remarks in a deposition for a discrimination lawsuit by a former employee. In the document, she admitted she had used racial slurs, tolerated racist jokes and condoned pornography in the workplace. The Food Network statement did not elaborate on its reasons for dropping her.

In her first video on Friday, posted on YouTube and later removed, Ms. Deen, near tears, said: “I want to apologize to everybody for the wrong that I’ve done. I want to learn and grow from this. Inappropriate and hurtful language is totally, totally unacceptable.”

In a longer video posted later in the afternoon, Ms. Deen, appearing more composed, said: “Your color of your skin, your religion, your sexual preference does not matter,” adding “ I was wrong, yes, I’ve worked hard, and I have made mistakes but that is no excuse and I offer my sincere apology to those that I have hurt, and I hope that you forgive me because this comes from the deepest part of my heart.

Earlier in the day, Ms. Deen failed to appear on “Today” for a scheduled exclusive interview with Matt Lauer, citing exhaustion. She had agreed to the interview, extensively promoted by NBC News on Thursday night, to address the uproar generated this week by her statements in her deposition.

Clearly upset by her absence, Mr. Lauer told viewers that Ms Deen had spoken with him on Thursday, agreed to an “open and candid” discussion, flown to New York City — but in the morning, had her representatives cancel. “We just found out she’s a no-show,” he wrote on Twitter. “Hoping to get more info on the Paula Deen situation soon. Very confusing.” Ms. Deen, 66, commands a small culinary empire, having produced numerous cookbooks, starred in cooking shows and served as a spokeswoman for Philadelphia Cream Cheese and Smithfield Foods. She and her sons own and operate a restaurant in Savannah, Ga. Her magazine “Cooking with Paula Deen,” has a circulation of nearly 1 million, her Web site says.

But Ms. Deen has managed to offend even her most uncritical fans before, most recently in January 2012 when she announced her diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes on the same day she endorsed the diabetes drug Victoza and a lucrative collaboration with Novo Nordisk, the drug’s manufacturer. Because she had built her career on a no-holds-barred approach to sugar and fat (creating recipes like a cheeseburger patty sandwiched between two doughnuts and a Better than Sex cake made with cake mix, pudding mix, and heavy cream), she was roundly criticized for encouraging an unhealthy diet for others, hiding her illness and then trying to profit from it.

On Thursday, criticism of her statements about race mounted on Twitter — even spawning a sarcastic hashtag, #paulasbestdishes — and on Ms. Deen’s own Facebook page.

The lawsuit against her was filed in March 2012 by Lisa T. Jackson, the general manager of Uncle Bubba’s Oyster House, a restaurant that Ms. Deen owned with her brother, Earl (Bubba) Hiers. Ms. Jackson, who is white, said that her father was Sicilian, with dark skin, and that she had suffered prejudice as a result.

In the deposition, Ms. Deen said that she had used a racial slur in the past, though not in the restaurant, and that she and her family did not tolerate prejudice. “Bubba and I, neither one of us, care what the color of your skin is” or what gender a person is, she said. “It’s what’s in your heart and in your head that matters to us.”

She also stated that “most jokes” are about Jews, gay people, black people and “rednecks.”

“I can’t, myself, determine what offends another person,” she said.

She had black people cooking and the white people as waiters/waitress. Also, she black people using the back door as an entrance and the front for whites. Blacks and whites had to use separate restrooms.

Again, another person putting words in my mouth. What I said was I don't experience racism everyday. I know racism exists so no shock to my system.

You can't blurt this stuff out in public whether it was in court or not. It's career suicide. I think Dog The Bounty Hunter's career survived his public outburst. If it ain't suicide it's a crushing blow. I think Mel Gibson took some hits from his outburst as well as Dr Laura.

Mel Gibson's career completely ended, but that's because of what he said about Jews not black people.

The showbiz law states that you can talk shit about whoever you want and get away with an apology. EXCEPT for Jews and homosexuals.

I get blamed for everything around these parts. They say I say shit and I didn't, they twist my words around and when I stick up for myself then they say I do it for attention.

Her getting dropped from Food Network is a temporary moral victory.. She'll still do paid cameos on her sons shows..
