It appears that despite the recent PR tour Paula Deen did and the support from her fans when the publisher yanked her book last year — all is still not well in Deen’s world.
BET is reporting:
“The restaurant at the center of Paula Deen‘s crumbling empire has closed its doors, TMZ reports. Uncle Bubba’s Seafood & Oyster House shut down after 10 years in business, giving no warning to longtime employees who found out the news when they showed up for work to find a padlock on the door.
The lawsuit filed by Lisa Jackson, the former general manager of Uncle Bubba’s, was dismissed after lawyers reached a deal, but not before Deen’s business had taken a near-fatal blow.”
I wonder was the way the shutdown was handled payback to what she might have considered ungrateful employees?
