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: Its just what they are theyre jokes most jokes are about Jewish people, rednecks, black folks I cant 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.

people can be dumb.
According to Whoopi Goldberg, words like “Retard” dont have the same meaning as they did a long time ago, maybe the same goes for the N word
Nope, you can call me names all you want....not sarcasm.
I am way to lazy to be offended...;-)..not sarcasm.
Do not think he was being sarcastic....not sarcasm.
So, do you have something bad to say about this woman or not?
LOL, true...

Maylon, wherever you are buddy, I firmly remember you as a black guy, now. And you played a lousy game of chess.
May I ask, what is a BFF?
Best Friend Forever
I think BFF means Best Friend Forever (or Best Forever Friend). But, since I don’t text to teenagers, I’m not real sure! LOL
The late, lamented St. Trayvon “No-Limits Nigga” Martin referred to himself as a “nigga” ... so I’m having a little trouble seeing the problem here.
If this trend of eroding the language continues apace, think of how difficult it will be 500 years from now, for that era’s version of Archaeologists/Anthropologists to figure out what these single letter word fillers mean!
I had no clue what it meant until there was some commercial that used to come on all the time, and there was someone texting BFF in the commercial. I had to ask my children what it meant. I don’t watch much television, so the commercial must’ve run during football games.
I don’t see what the big fuss is about. However, if Paula Deen is a Democrat I hope she gets hoisted upon her own petard.
Payback for telling everyone that the Wookie ate like a pig through the breaks in her show when she was on the program.
?
The HOG would win!!
She is disgusting licking her fingers and cooking with all that gross jewelry and food stuck on her rings. She is a big Obot lover when she made a hamburger with two krispy creme donuts and an egg I almost threw up. That was the last time I ever watcher her.
Angcat, please! I was just about to eat my dinner! (LOL!)
sounds like a fruit loop
I liked the “we shall over-crumb cake”.
