Celebrity chef Paula Deen was today sacked from her job at the Food Network despite begging the public for forgiveness over her past use of racial slurs in a heavily-edited video apology.
A Food Network spokesman issued this statement today: 'Food Network will not renew Paula Deen's contract when it expires at the end of this month.'
Deen currently has three regular shows on the network, including Paula’s Best Dishes.
It came just hours after she released the 45-second video in which she says: 'I want to apologize to everybody for the wrong I have done. I want to learn and grow from this.
'Inappropriate, hurtful language is totally, totally unacceptable. I have made plenty of mistakes along the way but I beg you, my children, my fans, my team, my partners, I beg for your forgiveness.
'Please forgive me for the mistakes that I've made.'

Yesterday it was the top news story for most media. She used a un-pc word years ago and now is pure evil for most. It is amazing to watch them destroy people at times. Heck what about rap songs? they use that word all the time.
