Irvine lied on hisresume. When caught, he was let go. He then apologized and was rehired. Love him.
Deen used inappropriate language and such against certain groups of people awhile back. She was sued and now FN will not renew her contract.
I know so many people think she is just putting on a huge act. I can definitely see that. Still like her though. Hervrecipes may be horrible for you, but the ingredients she uses are not $$$ like most chefs on FN. Her recipes aren't difficult and hey tend to work well.
The diabetes thing never bothered me. She doesn't force anybody to eat her food. And in moderation it is fine anyway. If somebody eats like that all the time it is not her fault. I think her health issues are private unless she doesn't want them to be. Heck, I'd spill about my health problems if it would make major money.
Not sure how I feel about the latest issue though. I feel like there are gaps in the story.
