Paula Deen stepped in a steaming pile of mess and realized she didn't have the shoes for it. The restauranteur has been in crisis mode ever since a lawsuit opened the flood gates and revealed that she used some not so nice words back in the day and even recently. She's made the rounds to leading talk shows to tell America that she is no racist and deserves a second chance. Since the blow up, Ms. Deen has lost her lucrative cooking show, her magazine is up in the air and sponsors are bailing. But some brands are still sticking with her, giving her the benefit of the doubt in hopes that this all blows over. Ms. Deen is so serious about putting this behind her that she has tapped Judy Smith, the real life Olivia Pope to run the show going forward.
