Paula Deen
Food maven Paula Deen was sued by a former employee who alleged racial discrimination and sexual harassment. Instead of settling out of court, Deen decided to fight. During her deposition, she revealed that she had used the “N-word” at times. The lawsuit against Deen was eventually dismissed but when the contents of her deposition leaked to the media, her empire came crumbling down. The self-proclaimed Butter Queen lost numerous lucrative sponsorship deals and the Food Network didn’t renew her contract, putting an end to all of her shows. After disappearing from the limelight, Deen re-emerged by launching her own cooking channel on YouTube.
