The Food Network is dropping Paula Deen amid controversy over her use of racial slurs, the Associated Press reports.
The news comes at the end of a bizarre day for Deen, who canceled a planned appearance on the “Today” show this morning due to “exhaustion” and then released two different versions of a video apology this afternoon.
“Food Network will not renew Paula Deen’s contract when it expires at the end of this month,” the network said in a statement.
