I guess she was supposed to lie under oath ugh people..............

I am a Huge Food Network Fan, but I think this will come back to bite them in the A%$

Paula Deen will not be missed by me. She lost any respect she may have had when she conceiled her diabetes for over 2 years while still promoting butter and sugar and fat. She only came clean whn she signed a contract with a drug company.

I haven't watched her on purpose in years :D

Well they back pedaled on Robert Irvine and rehired him......

Her health issues are her right to remain private, and ALL the FN Shows are Recipes NOT the way they encourage or eat themselves everyday! There are so many BIGGER issues in this world, I am not saying what she said is right, but she is not he only one who has mis spoke...Just Sayin'

What happened with Robert Irvine?

Agreed. She always seemed like a hard-edged-but-sweetly-smiling phony to me but maybe she just reminds me too much of an acquaintance of my mother's!!! And then the drug deal after making her money touting the old Southern cooking ways and influencing who knows how many people to shovel in the butter, fat and sugar when she knew better.

She was quoted as saying something similar to most jokes are about Jews and gays and blacks and rednecks. Ad admitted to condoning pornography in the workplace?????

What frightens me is that there are soooo many people that have a direct effect on something that is going to actually have a consequence in my life, that spit out much more abhorrent, callous, lies and untruths, than name calling! I think the "n" word is horrible and I have never used it.....I forbid anyone to use it in my presence.....I actually cringe when ANYONE around me uses that word, INCLUDING black people that freely incorporate the word in their conversations, music, etc. in conversations in the office at work!!! Paula Dean and her speech patterns may offend me but they do me no real harm or affect one thing going on in my life. Her diabetes and her over the top fat laden cooking, is for those that want to eat like that. There is no government regulation to date, that dictates I have to eat her recepies. I happen to know that a diet like that will kill you...because we are continually pounded on TV and radio and print media of any kind, just how unhealthy meals like that are!...so I PERSONALLY opt not to eat like that... (Except I did do her Crispy Creme Donut Bread Pudding ONCE!!!!! OMG!!!!! TO DIE FOR!!!!) So, I will take all this hoopla in the context that it has, directly on my life, and quickly move on to things going on in the political scene that are going to be my economic demise. It involves a lot more serious stuff than name calling. I came home from school one day in 3rd grade and told my mother Tommy called me "stupid little girl"...momma told me, "prove him wrong and get over it".

I'm so confused! What is it that she did?

I loved her recipes! Well maybe i like the butter, sugar, and fat. Haha. I thank her for my secret fried chicken. Lol. I don't know the whole story on what she did. So I can't really give my opinion on it.

What this will teach people is that they should lie under oath seriously that is the biggest problem that is gonna come from this.

she was asked under oath if she had ever used the N word.

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.
