Paula Deen on Today Show

[Deleted]

FAKE!  OMG, She is annoying me.  She keeps making cry face, but no tears at all.  NONE.  Wouldn't want to mess up the 10 lbs of eye makeup, right? 

Anybody else see it? 

[lilafowler]

I want to beat her over the head with a block of butter.

Her eyes scare the crap out of me. CRAZY EYES.

[fryjack2]

I saw it and thought she needed to just stop talking at some points. What was up with the throw a boulder at my head shit?

[luckyval]

She really just needs to stop

I kind of felt bad for her at the beginning of the interview, but man did it go downhill quickly. By the end, I'm like "Tough luck, bitch!"

[CurlyQ284]

I'm not watching but she needs to STFU. She needs to realize that talking got her into this mess, its not her strong suit and she needs to shut up.

I just started watching about 20 minutes ago, but I doubt much.  They're definitely pop culture news.

MUFFINS.

although, to be honest, i have enough outrage to spend time talking about both.  then again, i'm not a network (or even cable) news source.

I'd have so much more respect for and belief in her "apology" if she would just say, "You know, I said and did awful things and I regret it. I've learned so much since then and I am ashamed. I was wrong."

The way she tapdances around everything and resorts to boo hoos just means she's sorry for the backlash and really doesn't see why what she did / said was despicable.

[fryjack2]

I loved Matt trying to be a legit reporter with his glasses in his hand and serious face. "I'm going to ask you point blank, are you a racist?"

Did he really think she was going to say yes?

I don't expect real news from them anymore. Having Kris Kardashian dumb mouth talking when the rest of the country was having a moment of silence on Sept 11th? Gross. It's E news, the morning version.

[karmasabiotch]

She needed to stop with the boulder comment. People are crazy and might take that as an invitation.

[firedancer49]

I didnt get what she was saying about how someone had a gun to her head in her shop years ago when she made a comment. That was dumb. And the fake crying.

[julez]

She did not do herself any favors. She flat-out lied about how many times she had used the word, and then she went on the defense/have sympathy for me route, which was a HUGE mistake.

She either needs to listen to her PR team or hire a new one. That was a trainwreck.

A blatant attempt to appeal to her good ol' gal Christian fans' forgiveness by making a clumsy biblical reference. "Let he among you without sin throw the first stone," etc. God says you should forgive Paula and keep buying her merch! 

[chedominique]

I feel like if she did this the day she was suppose to go on the Today Show (Friday) then she wouldn't have lost The Food Network or Smithfield. The two videos she posted on Friday to avoid Matt's questions did her no good.

I was thrown off with her getting her story straight about how many times she used the word too. She definitely needs a new PR person.
