Brand new accusations of racism were hauled at Celebrity Chef Paula Deen Tuesday, after she took to Twitter and posted a picture – reportedly taken in 2011 – of herself dressed as Lucille Ball from I Love Lucy, and her son sporting a brown face, apparently meant to represent Lucy’s husband, Rickey.
“”Lucyyyyyyy! You got a lot of esplainin’ to do! #TransformationTuesday,” the photo caption read.
Twitter users went understandably went NUTS!
Deen was dropped from Food Network in 2013 after she admitted in a videotaped deposition to using the N-word and to telling staff that she wanted her brother to have a ‘”southern plantation wedding” featuring an all-black waitstaff. Deen gave the deposition for a discrimination suit against her, her company and her brother. The fallout from those comments cost her several other lucrative business relationships.
