Food Network Parts Ways With Paula Deen Over Racial Slurs
Posted in: UncategorizedFood Network said Friday afternoon that it will part ways with TV chef Paula Deen at the end of June, capping a week of fallout over revelations that she has used racial slurs.
“Food Network will not renew Paula Deen’s contract when it expires at the end of this month,” a spokeswoman said in a statemement, declining to elaborate.
The network cut ties even though Ms. Deen apologized in a pair of videos posted to YouTube earlier Friday. “I want to apologize for everybody for the wrong that I’ve done,” Ms. Deen said in the first video, which ran just 46 seconds.
