“Paula’s Home Cooking”
Paula Deen had a multi-million dollar empire that came crumbling down when the Queen of butter admitted to using the “N-word” in a court deposition and it leaked to the media. Deen was caught up in a public relations nightmare made worse with an apology video and an interview on the “Today” show that included the punch line to an old racist joke. Many called for Deen’s head on a silver platter. The Food Network decided not to renew Deen’s contract and her shows including “Paula’s Home Cooking” was cancelled. After taking a break from the public eye, Deen returned last fall to rebuild her empire by launching her own digital network.
