In a story that makes me giggle, Paula Deen and her brother are being sued by a former employee for sexual harassment, infliction of emotional distress and assault.
According to TMZ, Lisa Jackson, the former general manager at the brother-sister-owned restaurant Uncle Bubba's Seafood and Oyster House in Savannah, Georgia, claims that Deen and Hiers made offensive, sexist and racist comments over the course of the five years she worked there, from 2005 to 2010. When asked by Jackson what the attire would be for a catered event in 2007, Deen allegedly answered: "Well what I would really like is a bunch of little n***ers to wear long-sleeve white shirts, black shorts and black bow ties, you know in the Shirley Temple days, they used to tap dance around… Now, that would be a true Southern wedding wouldn't it? But we can't do that because the media would be on me about that."
Oh Paula...but I can see this coming out of her mouth...how about you?
