The count for the companies that have cut ties with the Southern Cooking Queen Paula Deen has been increased to 12.
Paul Deen gain her initial fame in the food entertainment industry when she became honest about her struggle with diabetes. Today, Paula Deen's honesty about a separate disease is costing her all that honesty has built up for her career.
Random House's Ballantine Books has just joined a bevy of other companies for the collective firing of Paula Deen. The companies that severed ties with the former celebrity included Food Network, Wal-Mart and Smithfield.
The Random House publisher has stated on Friday that it would no longer be working to publish Paula Deen's four upcoming cookbooks. The latest of which was to be named "Paula Deen's New Testament: 250 Recipes: All Lightened Up."
The scheduled october release for the book has prompted a myriad of advanced orders, and was apparently No. 1 on Amazon.com as of Thursday morning, as reported by The Associated Press.
However, even the pre-orders would not make the publisher forgive the Southern chef. The decision was reportedly made after "careful consideration."
The 66-year-old 'Queen of Butter' is involved in a lawsuit due to Lisa Jackson's claimed sexual and racial discrimination. She had been employed as a manager of Paula Deen's restaurant. While being questioned for the use of the N-word by Jackson's lawyer, Deen admitted that she had used the N-word.
The question that beckons us is that, if she had been given the choice to keep silent during her disposition, or if the disposition had happened in any other way, would she have been forgiven? Could she have avoided the swift damages to all of her hard work? Let us know below if you think Paula Deen should be forgiven!
