Tragic Things About Paula Deen

Paula Deen sat atop an empire built on high-calorie Southern dishes and her own outsized personality – until an unforeseen scandal brought her world crashing down around her. Now, you have the chance to learn about and judge the tragic real-life story of Paula Deen for yourself.

In the early 1990s, Paula Deen’s marriage was coming apart at the seams. She wrote in her memoir, It Ain’t All About the Cookin’, that the problem was her husband’s alcoholism. Deen wrote of first husband Jimmy:

“He drank, and he drank way too much to suit me.”

The final straw came when son Bobby’s truck was repossessed after he regularly made the payments to his dad, who was supposed to deposit the money in his checking account and make the payments. Realizing she could stomach his bad behavior toward her, but once it affected their children, the line had been crossed, she wrote:

“I told Jimmy I wanted out. All my feelings for Jimmy Deen died at that moment; anything that had been left was gone.”

Deen wrote in legal documents declaring their marriage to be:

“Irretrievably broken with no chance of reconciliation.”
