Paula Deen Uttered Racial Slurs Towards Blacks!

Celebrity chef Paula Deen with NBC News reporter/weatherman Al Roker. The chef is in hot water for uttering racial slurs about bad clients and President Barack Obama. The celebrity chef has taken herself away from the spotlight after it was revealed that she said NIGGER around a Black worker.

The queen of cuisine is under fire for saying racial slurs about Black people.

Deen an American cook, cooking show host, restaurateur, author, actress and Emmy Award-winning television personality. Deen resides in Savannah, Georgia, where she owns and operates The Lady & Sons restaurant with her sons, Jamie and Bobby Deen. She has published fourteen cookbooks.

She was diagnosed with Type II diabetes after her food gotten the best of her health.

Reports that Deen is having not only this controversy but a feud with chef Anthony Bourdain.

He commented in 2011 that he "would think twice before telling an already obese nation that it's OK to eat food that is killing us."

On January 17, 2012, Deen announced that she had been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes three years before, a disease for which a high-calorie diet is a major contributing factor.

It was also disclosed that Deen is a paid spokesperson for the Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk, whose main export is insulin.

She was called a hypocrite for continuing to promote her high-sugar diet while only disclosing her medical condition when it benefited her in representing the drug company to market their diabetes management program.

It was alleged in a lawsuit against Deen that "In the presence of Ms. Jackson and Uncle Bubba's restaurant manager and a vendor, Bubba Hiers stated they should send President Obama to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico so he could nigger-rig it."

According to the court documents, the plaintiff stated that she was appointed by Deen to handle the catering and staff for Bubba's wedding in 2007, and she asked Deen what the servers should wear; "Well what I would really like is a bunch of little niggers to wear long-sleeve white shirts, black shorts and black bow ties, you know in the Shirley Temple days, they used to tap dance around," the plaintiff alleged Deen told her. 

"Now, that would be a true Southern wedding wouldn't it? But we can't do that because the media would be on me about that."

In the case Lisa Jackson has brought against Deen, the chef stated in her deposition that she has used the "N Word" at times, saying "Yes, of course" she did, and also acknowledged making racist jokes, though she claims she is not racist. "It's just what they are—they're jokes ... most jokes are about Jewish people, rednecks, black folks. ... I can't determine what offends another person."

Now what do you think of Paula Deen and her position on The Food Network?

She's taken a leave of absence after the controversy blew up.
