Why the ‘N’ Word Caught Up With Deen After She Survived an Earlier Crisis
Posted in: Uncategorized
Paula Deen hid her diabetes diagnosis for three years and then came out with her illness while signing on as spokesperson for a diabetes drug, all the while continuing to promote sugary, high-calorie recipes like Twinkie Pie, Deep Fried Cheesecake Fried Stuffing on a Stick.
Her brand, which is all about food, survived.
Yet somehow she couldn’t survive using the “N” word. The key with the “N” word is to own the mistake, explain it and apologize right away. When she did the no-show with Matt Lauer, that raised questions. Though she had already admitted using the word, folks felt she had something to hide.
