On Friday, a federal court in Georgia dismissed all of the remaining discrimination counts against Paula Deen and her brother, Bubba, after the parties reported to the court that the two sides had settled.
The settlement terms are undisclosed.
In a statement emailed to The Associated Press, Ms. Deen’s publicist wrote:
We are pleased with the court’s ruling today that Lisa Jackson’s claims of race discrimination have been dismissed. As Ms. Deen has stated before, she is confident that those who truly know how she lives her life know that she believes in equal opportunity, kindness and fairness for everyone.
Somebody tell that to Ms. Deen’s sponsors — err, former sponsors. Just start typing the words “list of sponsors” (without the quotes) into the Google search bar and see how it autofills in the most popular searches once who put a space after the word “sponsors.”
(I’ll give you a hint, it’s not “list of sponsors dying to empty the coffers on https://www.theemployerhandbook.com click-thru banner ads” … yet)
But for Ms. Deen, at least she still has her loyal fans at — wait, this can’t be right, can it? — sure enough: ButterForPaula.org.
