(38,958 posts)I don't think even Big Lots would want her product line. She just might be SOL. The current retailers will sell off their inventory at a deep discount or remainder it out to someone who will probably have to sit on it for awhile until the storm blows over, but with few if any new orders, the line it toast.

(25,053 posts)Really? An older woman who admits she said the "N" word years ago loses a lot of her advertisers and book deal because of the admission of that in a civil suit that she will win or lose? When rappers and Blacks currently use the word all the time, she's punished financially for being a less than intelligent white woman growing up in the South? I think it is real overkill and while I could care less about Paula Deen, this is all ridiculous. If you don't want to watch her shows or buy her products ,don't spend money or time on them. I personally feel Rush and Fox et al much more deserving of losing money and sponsors. Grow up. it's a word.
