Paula Deen Is Back Because She’s Really Sorry

Paula Deen May NOT be heading to the Food Network, but Paula Deen Is Back Because She’s Really Sorry with her own Network, The Paula Deen Network!

Deen is launching a subscription-based website called The Paula Deen Network launches online Wednesday for her mayonnaise and butter loving fans.

Once again, fifteen months after her public meltdown, Paula Deen returned to the “Today” show to address the fallout from her legal scandal and reveal her plans for a new digital network, CelebNMusic247.com reports via FOX News:

Deen said to host Matt Lauer:

“My words hurt people.”

“They disappointed people, and quite frankly I disappointed myself. And for that I’m so sorry. I’m so, so sorry for the hurt I caused people. Because it went deep.”

The Food Network star lost her show in 2013 after a leaked deposition showed that Deen admitted under oath to having used the n-word. Following that partners, including the Food Network, QVC, Target and Walmart, dropped Deen. Shortly after, Deen appeared on the “Today” show in a tearful interview where she apologized, stating “I is what I is.”

Deen finally revealed to Lauer that it was probably a mistake at the time to do the interview:

“That was a woman in trauma, shock, trying to understand what happened.”

“And you know the cold hard fact, Matt, is I probably should not have been here. I should have been home, maybe under the care of a doctor.”

Several months later, all charges in the lawsuit were dismissed and Deen announced a digital venture.

Now, the subscription-based The Paula Deen Network launches online Wednesday that includes her old Food Network shows, cooking demonstrations, a family game show and holiday specials.

Deen and her son Jamie Deen, who appeared on “Today” alongside his mother, talked about the project saying the new network has developed 100 new shows so far and has been filming content for the past year.

Deen fans can sign up for a free 14-day trial of the The Paula Deen Network now. The site launches tomorrow with subscriptions starting at $8 per month.
