In the grand tradition of FR -- guilty!

Celebrity chef Paula Deen admitted in a recorded deposition to telling racist jokes, using the N-word, and planning a slavery-themed wedding, according to multiple reports.
The May 17 deposition where she made the alleged admissions is part of a $1.2 million lawsuit brought by Lisa Jackson, the former manager of a Savannah, Georgia, restaurant run by Deen and her brother Bubba Hiers.
Jackson alleges in the suit that Deen used the N-word at the restaurant and that Hiers sexually harassed her.
According to the reports, in the deposition, Deen replied “Yes, of course,” when asked if she used the N-word.
Deen also reportedly admitted telling racist jokes, explaining: “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.”
Jackson said also Deen wanted African-American employees to act like slaves for a big wedding she was planning. Deen explained she got the idea from a restaurant where "the whole entire waiter staff was middle-aged black men, and they had on beautiful white jackets with a black bow tie," the National Enquirer reports. The magazine also quoted Deen as saying: “I mean, it was really impressive. That restaurant represented a certain era in America…after the Civil War, during the Civil War, before the Civil War…It was not only black men, it was black women…I would say they were slaves.”
Her brother Bubba also admitted to referring to President Obama with the N-word, the report claims.

In the grand tradition of FR -- guilty!
My grandmother always told me that was a ‘low class’ word.
She plays that southern belle schtick to the max - reminds me of a braying donkey. It has been a successful business model for her, apparently.
Isn’t she the one who said Michele Obama wouldn’t quit eating, that she was a pig or something similar?
That's overkill. Lisa should just throw a ham at Paula.
I read a statement she made after Mickie’s visit.....she said Mickie was a big and ate everything she could get her hands on.
A foolish person working for a theatrical client. “Slavery” in NYC means S&M theme, y’know? Would be good to know who ordered up something this disgusting (whether it is supposedly southern, or New Yawk bondage and discipline). Savannah has a rather extensive and disgusting under (now very over)world of nasty homos— male and female. So the truth is out. And they love their Auntie Mames (Paulas).
This is some employee trying not to work-— seriously mentally harmed.... NOT!
Yes they can.
She’s a big-time lib, who loves Jimmy Carter.
The wedding thing is on a whole other level of crazy, however.
Oh, well (sigh).
Sounds like someone suing a rich white woman for having extremely bad manners at the very least. At the worst, PD was expressing her inner heart.
She might have better luck with the sexual harassment suit if it can be proven.
On both counts
This must be a mistake. She just loves the obomba’s Paula has had nothing but great things to say about them on her shows. IIRC, she admitted to voting for him...DON’T LAUGH I am serious.
#PaulasBestDishes was trending on twitter..........hysterical jokes on there.
Kinda like Larry the Cable guy who is actually from Nebraska and has more of a midwestern accent.

Yeah, I seem to remember her being a pretty outspoken lib.
Meaning "NO!"
(Not the racist word).
Maybe that is what the title is referring to? /s
