Paula Deen Awed by Lack of Public Support

A couple of posts ago, we’ve reported that Paula Deen has just admitted that she’s suffering from Type 2 Diabetes. She kept it a secret for a couple of years. Upon revealing to the general public, not only did Deen surprise her fans but she also surprised her network.

In fact, no one in her network decided to comment on Deen’s current status. Irika Slavin, the Food Network’s Vice President of Communications says that:

“”You have heard correctly, Food Network learned last week about Paula’s diagnosis… So here’s the deal, none of our chefs want to go on the record saying anything about her. However, I heard someone say it would be news if she didn’t get diabetes. So I guess friend, butter is bad for you. Who knew?”
