Food Network Cancels Paula Deen's Contract

The Food Network star is being served a lawsuit by Lisa Jackson, the former manager of a Savannah, Georgia restaurant, Uncle Bubba's Seafood and Oyster House. The $1.2 million lawsuit states that her use of racial slurs towards Jews and African Americans caused an extremely uncomfortable work enviornment for not just Jackson but other employees. However, it is not the lawsuit specifically but key words Deen said in a deposition that shed light on the issue over the past days.
A copy of the disposition surfaced and contained transcript of Deen discussing a "plantation style wedding" and her use of the "n-word" amoung family and friends as well as a specific occasion with her husband after she was robbed at gunpoint. Also, when Deen was asked if she had ever used the "n-word" she is quoted as saying, "of course."
