See How Paula Deen Is Taking Over The Internet Last year, celebrity chef Paula Deen made headlines after she was dropped from the Food Network. The action was a result of her admission that she had used racial slurs in the past. The action marked the end of a career which began in 1999or so they thought. Deen first made television appearances on the Food Network in the late nineties, and later secured her own show called Paulas Home Cooking. Still, her long successful career was ripped to shreds when she made a public admission that she had used the n-word in the past. After the incident, Deen apologized profusely, but to no avail. I want people to understand that my family and I are not the kind of people that the press is wanting to say we are, the TV Personality claimed, Your color of your skin, your religion, your sexual preference does not matter to me. But its whats in the heart, and my family and I try to live by that. I am here to say I am so sorry. I was wrong, yes, I have worked hard and I made mistakes, but that is no excuse. Now, it appears that Deen is not prepared to go down with a fight. She has decided to start her own online network, which is being backed by a $100 million investment from Najafi Cos., a private equity firm. The Paula Deen Network will be a subscriber-based network. Deen has told reporters that she believes that going digital is the next logical step in her career. What do you think? Will you support Paula Deens new network?
