Blind Items Revealed #4

May 24, 2016

This former A+ list celebrity chef who lost it all has been trying to scramble to pay investors from her most recent project. Things started out great but now, not so much. The chef is selling off assets to try and pay everyone off.

Paula Deen

    Nailed it

    I hate racists but I feel sorry for her-she was CRUCIFIED for telling the TRUTH in trial for something she said several decades earlier. It is all very generational. Bieber went on a racist rant and people didn't blink an eye?!

    Last weekend her stuff was still at a household item store my wife and I went to to get sheets.
    I think this had to have been planted by her PR people for sympathy.
    The loss of those TV show checks is what is hurting her financially.

    Bieber's fans are tweeners. Hers are adults. I get that it's generational & yes, she told the truth, but still not okay for either one ESP Bieber. But then, I don't think people expect much from him. And his PR is a lot better than hers.
    Just saying.

    There is no problem with Paula Deen. The problem lies in the people who ran her career from NYC. If she was discriminating, please show me, because all of her kitchen staff are African-American. She was getting too big for some people. She had brought her two handsome sons into the mix and they were publishing cook books, too. And, they both had cooking and travel shows on Cable. Doing quite well, I might add. Paula is a small town Georgia gal (not from Savannah) and is not familiar with how the folks in NYC run things. She was thrown under the Nancy Hanks for no reason at all. As mentioned, numerous celebrities have made questionable statements that aren't PC and got away with it. I am not defending her statements one bit. But to totally destroy a person's career and life and family is beyond the pale. When those Paula Deen products in the stores are all sold, they won't be reordering more.

  10. @anna from Savannah. Agree, I do own her pots and pans and I love them.

  11. FYI, meatball, - 99.65% of California is a literal garbage dump.

    I reside in NYC but work and vacation lots of places, and can definitively say that the South, in general, is nicer than almost everywhere in California. Comparable % of population living in trailers, too.

    Plus, everytime I'm in LA, I see plenty of fat Oaxacan people.

  12. So true! Alec Baldwin is an adult, current-day, captured on tape bigot and no one gives a shake.

    While Paula may have gotten worse press than most celebs who say racist things, I don't generally feel sorry for multimillionaires, unless they're being abused or something.

  15. I live in LA & everything you say is true. For every Pilates-honed toned body here, there are at least 5 obese Mexicans. At least the Southern fatties are friendly & speak English.

    I must say that I was really dismayed that Mark Fuhrman became such a celeb after all that THAT racist,crooked cop said,did,didn't do & lied about on the stand.Seriously,i couldn't believe that news shows were deferring to him as one of their expert commentators & that people were buying his book about the Skakel Murder in Greenwich,etc... gawd,it rubbed me the wrong way....obviously, it still does.That guy has made out like a bandit b/c of his performance on the stand during the O.J. case.Something's very wrong about that.

  19. You don't think the fact that all her STAFF are African-American is telling? You really don't? *smdh*

    You silly Yankee! She has all African-American cooks because THEY are the ONLY people who can cook AUTHENTIC Southern food!!! They brought the recipes with them from Africa and introduced them to the Southern people! I love the 'authentic' Italian restaurants in Little Italy here in NYC whose entire cooking staff is Mexican! Hello? Mexicans and African-Americans are the real deal when it comes to cooking authentic Mexican and Southern foods.

    Thanx for looking her up. Rode her all during WWII to visit my daddy where he was stationed. The ride from Savannah to Atlanta on Miss Nancy was a treat for a kid.

    My point is, in both Paula AND Fuhrman's cases, their reputations were destroyed by a legal case digging up ONE very old, old, mention of the N word. (although there wrre other instances of Paula making racially offensive references snd remarks. And her son being flat out racist and a sexual harrasser.)

    It's too bad in Fuhrman's case because there was a mountain of good, legitimate evidence against OJ, who SHOULD be serving his prison time on Death Row.

    there were many instances of Fuhrman making racially offensive remarks as well...and after a bit of time he was able to bounce back & has done very well for himself. He's currently doing some commentator thing for ESPN....and he's got another book in the works...like his 8th.That was the prosecution's fault-they knew the defense was going to bring that stuff up.We all know that the OJ trial was a circus and a travesty of justice.
    And you're right, Paula obviously had more than one instance as well but she she's not bouncing back & i don't think she really will in any grand manner

    I totally agree that certain ethnicities are better cooks. There's a few Greek churches up here that have festivals with lots of food. Usually one of the Greek church members who owns a diner is in charge of the food preparation. Last year for whatever reason, they hired Mexicans to do it. I didn't go but I heard it was the worst food ever and my family didn't even go this year because it was so bad. You can learn how to cook but it's really something you need to grow up around, observing your older family members.

  27. I don't have any issues with Mexicans skinny, fat, good cooks or not. Just in case there are Mexican readers. California used to be yours, so thank you. You're fresh tacos are the bomb, so thank you. I love your embroidered cotton tops, thanks again. And you work, unlike a lot of Americans, so thank you there as well.

    I'm going to troll the troll who is using my name. That Csf is gonna come off as one big people loving dork! I love you Csf troll! You are gonna be a gay supporting, trans accepting, every race loving animal rights activist when I'm done trolling you!

    Obese Mexicans?

    I don't know what part of California you live in but where I live there are just as many fat non-Mexicans as there are fat Mexicans, more actually.

    Bigot much, Meg? So not surprising.
