A representative for Paula Deen says the celebrity chef “does not condone” racial epithets, following reports that Deen admitted to using “the N-word” and once planned a wedding reception with all black waiters.
Deen’s admission of using the slur came while she was providing deposition as part of a $1.2M lawsuit filed against her and her brother Earl “Bubba” Biers by Lisa Jackson, the former manager of a Savannah, Ga., restaurant owned by the two siblings.
In the lawsuit (which can be viewed here), Jackson says she was constantly subjected to racist language at Uncle Bubba’s Oyster House and claims to have been sexually harassed by Hiers. Jackson alleges that Hiers would frequently bring pornography to work and physically assaulted her on several occasions.
