Lisa Jackson sued Deen and her brother, Bubba Hiers, last year saying she suffered from sexual harassment and racially offensive talk and employment practices that were unfair to black workers during her five years as a manager of Uncle Bubba’s Seafood and Oyster House. Deen is co-owner of the restaurant, which is primarily run by her brother.
But claims of race discrimination by Jackson, who is white, were gutted in the 20-page opinion by U.S. District Court Judge William T. Moore Jr. The judge agreed with lawyers for Deen and Hiers that Jackson has no standing to sue her former employers for what she claims was poor treatment of black workers, regardless of her claims that she was offended and placed under additional stress.

I hope the Lord leads her out of this and she builds her empire twice as big as it was!
I have personally stopped looking at the food network and no longer purchase Smithfield products. We need to boycott these bigots...
I fail to see to see how any of Paula's problems have anything to do the rest of us.The only people who actually should be affected are those who are affiliated with her "empire".
Now that her reputation is screwed up.
Good. she should never apologized to begin with. and the food channel is now blocked from our home.
it is what it is.
Let the Lawsuits begin.
And the media bias strikes again.
Yawn.........
I hope all those haters out their realize what they have done and the Food Network. They should have just waited for the court to decide and they didn't, how you like the egg (pardon the pun) on all of you now.
