Food Network: Paula Deen Canceled in Light of Racial Slur Scandal




The Food Network said it will end Paula Deen’s cooking show at the end of the month.

The network made the announcement an hour after Deen posted two apology videos.

The videos came after it was leaked online that Deen admitted under oath that she's used the N-word years ago.

In the videos, she says she wants to “learn and grown from this” and that “inappropriate, hurtful language is totally, totally unacceptable.”

Deen has a lawsuit filed against her from a manager of uncle Bubba’s Seafood and Oyster House, which is owned by Deen and her brother.

The manager says she was sexually harassed at work and the environment of the workplace was “rife with innuendo and racial slurs”.
