3. Paula Deen
We were just certain that southern belle and celebrity chef Paula Deen was just as sweet as the pies she made on her Food Network show, Paula’s Home Cooking. Boy, were we wrong. In 2013, the once Food Network star was caught saying racial slurs in reference to a wedding plan suggestion. Unlike most allegations pressed against celebrities, Deen had no problem openly admitting she in fact did use the taboo n-word. Well, Paula Deen had to say no more in order for numerous companies to wash their hands with the butter aficionado. The companies ranged from Walmart, Target, QVC, Home Depot, and Sears. The Food Network also discontinued the airing of her show. I guess Deen’s southern charm was not so charming after all.
