What she did was wrong IMO.
You don’t destroy people for doing something this level of wrong though.
Punishment of this level is indicative of a mental state that is severely flawed in the punisher, not the punished.
Make it known what Deen has done and let her fan base do what they will.
If I was a fan of hers, I would write her a letter and let her know I think she screwed up. Going beyond that is not called for. If she gets enough letters, she’ll stop the behavior.
That’s enough.
Good points. Let her fans decide what the fallout will be. If her ratings dropped sharply, and she doesn’t sell magazines and cookbooks anymore, then her fan base will decide whether this alleged controversy is enough for them to shun her.
What is shocking here is that she admitted use of the N word while she was under oath in a courtroom, as part of a lawsuit filed against her. She told the truth, has explained the circumstances, but that’s not enough for the politically correct crowd.
It’s shocking that the Food Network decided to cancel her show because of this. But that’s political correctness for you. The forces of political correctness are very strong in today’s world.
Alas, I do somedays wish everyone at FR was as sane as you. Your post is such a breath of fresh air in a roiling sea of bilge.
