Paula Deen Loses Contracts with Kmart, Sears & Walgreens
Believe it or not, things haven’t hit rock bottom for Paula Deen yet, as she just lost three more lucrative partnerships over her carless use of the “n-word” back in the 1980s.
According to a report, stores like Kmart, Sears, and Walgreens have all issued statements to the effect that they won’t be working with the southern chef anymore.
A Sears Holdings rep told press, “After careful consideration of all available information we have made the decision to phase out all products tied to Paula Deen’s brand.”
Interestingly enough, Lisa Jackson, who began the firestorm against Deen by alleging that she was fired from Paula’s Uncle Bubba’s Seafood and Oyster House over racial issues, isn’t black herself and has no African American ethnicity in her immediate family.
Jackson claimed that her partner had a biracial niece, but court documents have established that the niece is actually half Hispanic, rather than half black.
As a result, Deen is going after Lisa with everything she’s got, and this one’s going to get ugly!
