I wonder what is really behind this bru-haha. Saying something racist 30-40 years ago does not seem like the real reason Food Net Work fired her. I can’t help believe there is more to it, maybe she is just not a very nice person to do business with.
What is up with the law suit of discrimination? The “White” employee filed the charge, why?
Guess I am wearing the tin foil hat, none of this makes sense.
We had a senator in office who was an officer in the KKK.
he was never fired, or even criticized.
Yeah, but Sen. Byrd (D) (KKK member) was a big time powerful democrat - and the MSM ran interference for him...
Yeah, Sen. Byrd (D) (KKK member) was a big time powerful democrat - and the MSM ran interference for him... but he wasn't the only one:
Bull Conner (D) was a democrat too and
George Wallace (D) and
Gov Ernest Hollings (D) who brought the confederate battle flag back as the STATE FLAG of South Carolina during the civil rights movement. He also got a pass from the New York Times and MSM BECAUSE he was a democrat...
and thousands of others...
The Food Nutwork is pledged to go all queer, and is well on the way to that goal.
Court documents reveal tensions have erupted among the lawyers in the case as well. Both sides have repeatedly asked a judge to impose sanctions on opposing counsel and other parties.
In one filing, Hiers’ attorney, Tom Withers, asked that Billips be disqualified, quoting a tweet by Billips in which he said “suing Paula Deen is a hoot.”
Withers also referred to a sexually laced tweet in which “Billips promises to symbolically undress and have sex with” Deen.
Withers contends Billips’ conduct is designed to “harass and maliciously injure Paula Deen.”
The case began with an “inflammatory letter seeking over a million dollars for forego filing a lawsuit and allow Deen ‘a chance to salvage a brand that can continue to have value,’ ” Withers’ document said.
Plaintiff’s words
In Jackson’s deposition taken Feb. 11, she recounts how Dora Childs, an employee at The Lady & Sons, told her “probably sometime in 2010” that she felt discriminated against when a white male kitchen manager was promoted over her, adding, “and that Paula made racist comments.”
Deens’ attorney, Franklin, asked Jackson: “You have never heard Paula make a racist remark, have you?”
“Not heard it,” Jackson replied.
“You have never known Paula to discriminate against a person based on gender, have you?”
“I’m not aware.”
“And you have never known Paula to sexually harass anyone, have you?”
“Not me.”
