Paula Deen found herself in the hot seat after the former manager of the celebrity chef’s Uncle Bubba’s Seafood and Oyster House restaurant sued her for using racial slurs. Deen admitted in court that she used the slur in the 1960s. She later regretted it, saying: “That’s just not a word that we use as time has gone on. Things have changed since the ’60s in the south.”

Even though Deen publicly apologized on YouTube and begged fans for forgiveness, the Food Network decided not to give her a second chance or renew her contract. Shows such as Paula’s Home Cooking were canceled indefinitely.
