The news media latched onto this latest PR scandal as THE reason why Paula Deen’s contract wasn’t renewed. What gets me is that so many people are so blindly taking that and running with it. Paula has been a PR disaster for the last few years and her ratings have been dropping (the real reason she’s been let go, the other stuff is collateral damage).
Oh, I didn’t know that. I assumed she was still getting high ratings. She’s branched-out into all kinds of diversified businesses. I was shopping for living room furniture recently, and I kept seeing her furniture line. It wasn’t cheap stuff, and some of it was very nicely made. She’s not a favorite, but it’s sad to see someone persecuted to their fall for the sake of liberal jollies.
