Paula Deen Posts Brownface Photo; Fires Social Media Manager
Quote:
Two years after accusations of racism nearly tore down her empire, Paula Deen (and her team) appear to have learned exactly nothing.
Tuesday morning, the deep-fried dogmatist posted a #TransformationTuesday photo on Twitter, featuring herself as I Love Lucy's Lucy, her former producer Gordon Elliott, and her son Bobby Deen — in brownface — as Ricky. The tweet, which read "Lucyyyyyyy! You got a lot of esplainin' to do! #Transformation Tuesday @BobbyDeen," has since been deleted, but not before it was saved, well, everywhere.
