I co-sign your post. She's such an embarrassment. I'm surprised her husband is still with her.

She has formed Paula Deen Ventures and has partnered with a private equity firm.

"The Wall Street Journal reports the former Food Network star will use the money---between $75 million and $100 million--from Najafi Companies to focus less on promoting her personality as a food expert and more on her ownership of partnered brands."

A guy from Buffalo NY who used to own a large chain of supermarkets (Tops) is the CEO of the new company. They have set up a showroom in WNY and are selling her branded products to supermarket chains in the Northeast and South to start. It's cake mixes, biscuit mixes, sauces and dressings, plus a partnership with a chicken company (pre-cooked).

She had a meet and greet event that drew hundreds of women at $250 each to hear her speak.

Interesting concept. Wonder how her "mixes" will sell with all the other brands already out there. I guess her fans will patronize the brand. Paying to hear her speak? Not for me.

Straddling his back? This is just one reason why I stopped liking her years ago. She's vulgar and not lady like at all. I don't know how her boys and husband can not be embarrassed by her sometimes.

I wish her no harm, but I have zero interest in Paula Deen.

Exactly. Have found her to be extremely distasteful and foul-mouthed, especially for someone her age. Have always like Robert Irvine, but I think I'm now going to revisit that opinion.

She did that? I would think she would have got it by now.

Just because she has money is not a reason to stop working at something she enjoys. To say go away and retire with dignity is horrible. I don't know how old she is, but it is not your place to say when she should go away and RETIRE!!

Didn't like her before the big brouhaha and like her less now. I just wish she'd just go away so I could quit feeling embarrassed for her. She apparently feels no embarrassment at all.

I enjoyed her years and years ago.

Then she became this loud cackling, desperate horndog. That's what turned me off.

This fiasco helped keep her out of the limelight and it's been nice not seeing her.

I agree Lucky Charm, the more popular she became the louder she got and that laugh of hers got even louder and cackling got worse. I used to like her when she first aired but after she said she used that word - not anymore - I'm sorry, I don't care where you are from you don't call another human being what she did - lost all respect for her -

[spenditallbaby]

Giddy-up!

[LuxeDeluxe]

I don't like her. She is so loud and obnoxious. She's embarrassing herself and I wish she would stay gone.
