I've already read on a cruise forum, that she loves to cruise and brings her entire family and staff with her. She overtakes several parts of the ship, and never meets her fans, even though the cruise is billed as a Paula Deen cruise and she's supposed to make appearances. The cruisers pay more for this also, and she just never shows. They say she's always in the casino chain smoking and playing slots. What kind of chef smokes anyway? It kills your taste buds. That's one of the big no no's in the culinary industry; for the chefs at the top anyway. Now they just need to get rid of Sandra Lee.

| He lied about some of his former clients, that weren't at all, like the Queen of England. He, however, did not call people the N word.

| No, it teaches one to tell the truth under oath and be mature enough to live with the consequences. If Ms. Deen is for real, she will take her lumps for using such vile language in her public work life around employees (that must have been a lovely work environment!), make amends in any way she can with the people she has so offended, deal with the lawsuit, make necessary changes in her life and rebuild the losses she suffers where she can. If she's genuine in her changes, the majority of people will forgive and forget in time. The word she used is deeply hurtful to the very soul black people when used so cavalierly in jokes, stories or condescendingly by white people and will always be a wedge of hard feelings and pain anytime it is used this way. I'm sure when Paula Deen testified to using such language, she and her handlers was well aware of what was about to happen to her career and even her personal life. She seems a very business and media savvy lady who has lived much of her life in public and relied on that public for her wealth and will no doubt make every effort to atone publicly often and hopefully in time the media and social media will let it die - but certainly not until they have ridden the issue for every headline possible. But she'll need to be genuine in her efforts to change her image now or she won't get very far in any public relations campaign to remake her image or the public will see right through her. Any phoniness now will come glaring through.

YT 2000 Club Member | paula I have no respect for Paula Dean. She needs to reap what she sowed. Being in the public eye should have made her even more aware of what came out of her mouth. We must think before we speak. Words can hurt so much and I forgive her, Jesus would forgive, but I do not think she will gain any respect from the public for her insensitivity to precious people. |

| I'm going to sit this discussion out, because the whole thing makes me ill and I am absolutely seething inside over it all.

Women allow other women to call them "bitch" playfully and often use the term right back to them but no man or employer had better step in their face and use that term or tell jokes using it in their presence. Kind of the same thing but to a far, far lesser extent.

| Anybody that uses the N word or any type of racial slurs in this era of political correctness is definitely racist. It is just common sense not to use them and it tells alot about someone. I do have a Paula Deen cookbook though no one is forcing anyone to eat her food

Taylor I find this highly offensive. I am southern... as is/was my family. We and I do not use the "N" word. I will say in my grandma's time she used the word "colored" in the same way I would say "African American or perhaps black"-- with the people I have met as an adult and with travel bigots are not exclusive to the south. I never liked or disliked Paula deen. I thought she was a bit over the top with the "yall" stuff. I also felt she took the "bad" parts of southern cooking and focused on it. She kinda of reminded me of the show "two fat ladies" -- they were from UK. As far the "n" word being racist.. I think it is an insulting word. I hear my students use it and I always have a discussion with them. I hear words to white and Hispanic that are just as bad, and I see reverse predijuce all the time. It is an emotional word...
