Yesterday, the Internet errupted when news broke that celebrity chef Paula Deen has used the word “nigger” frequently around employees and one time wanted her African-American employees to dress as slaves.
The news came as portions of a trascript were leaked from being questioned during her discrimination lawsuit. Despite what people think, Deen wanted to make it clear that she does not tolerate racila hatred or the use of the N-word.
William Franklin, Deen’s attorney, said the celebrity was looking forward to her day in court.
“Contrary to media reports, Ms. Deen does not condone or find the use of racial epithets acceptable,” he said in a statement
That hasn’t stopped the Internet from passing judgement of the chef. One of the top trending topics on Twitter was #PaulasBestDishes, the name of her Food Network show. Tweets used the tag along with satirical names for recipes such as “Massa-Roni and Cheese,” ”Lettuce From a Birmingham Jail,” and “Key Lynch Pie.”
