Paula Deen Parts Ways with Agent Following N-Word Controversy
Paula Deen Fries Relationship with Agent
Paula Deen is finally on the other end of a severed business relationship ... she's cutting ties with her agent following the recent fallout from her admission to using the N-word.
Deen's rep, Elana Weiss, said in a statement that Deen "has separated from" New York agent Barry Weiner.
Weiss went on to say that Deen and her family "thank him for the tireless effort and dedication over the many years."
Since the leak of a deposition in which Deen admitted to using the N-word in the past, she has lost deals with the likes of The Food Network, Wal-Mart, Target, JCPenney, Kmart, Sears and her book publisher.
