16. Paula Deen
Via thenypost.files.wordpress.com
In what was perhaps one of the most controversial and public celebrity slip-ups a few summers ago, celeb-chef Paula Deen was nearly burned at the stake for her racist actions. In the summer of 2013, Deen was accused of sexual and racial discrimination. She apparently was heard using the n-word and racial slurs against African Americans while working with her employees. She ended up admitting that she had used the n-word on multiple occasions and cited an instance when she was held up at gunpoint by a black man while working at a bank. The whole thing resulted in Deen losing a lot of privileges, such as being taken off the Food Network.
