"The Food Network is severing its relationship with Paula Deen, one of its earliest and biggest stars, following a scandal stemming from a discrimination lawsuit. A former employee of Bubba&amp;#x27;s Seafood and Oyster House, a restaurant owned by Deen and her brother, claims that the two of them created a hostile work environment; sexual harassment and the use racial slurs were among the charges. In a deposition following the suit, Deen confirmed that she has used racial epithets. After canceling an appearance on Today, Deen issued two apologies via YouTube (this is the second one; the first one has since been removed). People reports that The Food Network will not renew Deen&amp;#x27;s contract at the end of this month. Deen&amp;#x27;s first show, Paula&amp;#x27;s Home Cooking, debuted on The Food Network in 2002.
