Paula Deen loses Walmart deal
In the wake of her N-word scandal, Paula Deen has lost yet another deal. The chef, 66, has now been dropped by Walmart Stores Inc. after working with them to carry her grocery items and health and wellness products since 2011.
“We will not place new orders beyond those already committed,” said Dave Tovar, a Wal-Mart spokesman about Deen. “We will work with suppliers to address existing inventories and agreements.”
Prior to being dropped by Walmart, Deen was dropped by the Food Network and Smithfield Foods. She’s also been dropped by Caesars Entertainment, responsible for four casino buffets under her name.
As previously reported Deen has reportedly hired Judy Smith, he woman who inspired the character Olivia Pope, to aide her with this crisis.
