Paula Deen Speaks Out After Being Canceled For Using N-Word in New Documentary⁠
⁠
Blogged by: cabbagepatchgrl 
⁠
#PaulaDeen is using her new documentary, “Canceled: The Paula Deen Story,” to speak publicly about the scandal that abruptly ended her career.⁠
⁠
The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and gives the former Food Network star a chance to address the controversy directly.⁠
⁠
The documentary focuses on the fallout from a deposition in a discrimination lawsuit, during which Deen admitted she had used the N-word.⁠
⁠
That moment became a media firestorm, resulting in the loss of her television contracts, endorsements, and partnerships.⁠
⁠
“When I say I lost everything, within 24 hours, I lost every job I had. Food Network was first to jump off, then Walmart, Target…It was just everybody,” Deen said.⁠
⁠
Deen explained that the full context of the deposition was never reported.⁠
⁠
“This is something that ate at my gut every day,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “I would have been fine had the whole story been told — had the real story been told. They took this woman (the plaintiff), who is a known liar, they took her word and ran with it, and no one ever investigated any further. I was not going to be happy until the world saw the truth.”. ..to read the rest log on to BallerAlert.com (clickable link on profile)
