In a three-hour deposition attached to a 2012 lawsuit, 66-year-old Paula Deen reportedly served up a heaping helping of racism to a video camera and some slack-jawed attorneys. Deen co-owns a restaurant with her brother, who has been accused of racism and sexual harassment. According to a story in the National Enquirer, when asked if she used the N-word, Deen answered, "Yes, of course," and when asked if she told racist jokes, she reportedly answered, "It's just what they are — they’re jokes … most jokes are about Jewish people, rednecks, black folks … I can't determine what offends another person." Deen’s alleged outrageous behavior isn't limited to disgusting remarks; the same story reports she said she'd dreamed up the idea of black men playing the roles of slaves at a wedding party.
