This sound .. not quite right to you?

When Deen refused to pay $1.25 million in hush money last year to a former employee of her brother’s restaurant — a white woman who claimed, among other things, that Deen’s brother was guilty of racial discrimination — the lynch mob began forming.

“Exposure of the racist and sexist culture of her corporate and personal life is going to permanently, and irreparably, damage the value of the brand,” Savannah attorney S. Wesley Woolf warned in a Jan. 31, 2012, demand letter to Deen’s lawyer. He stated that “if we are unable to settle, the Complaint will not be quietly filed. I am making arrangements for a press conference on the day of the filing. I have identified the journalist for the New York Times who covers civil rights matters and he will be provided a pre-filing exclusive. A nationwide press release will be issued to the major networks, newspapers, newsmagazines and news websites across the country.”

And finally, the closer: “I hope that upon full and deliberate consideration of this offer, (your clients) will come to understand that the small price they quietly pay and that my client quietly accepts will allow Paula Deen a chance to salvage a brand that can continue to have value.”

Wow, no, that doesnt sound right.

I heard Rush (or someone like him) mention this on the radio today. THanks for posting this FJ.

The media did not fully examine this case before they attacked Deen. They wouldn't have known how to do it. They are too stupid.

A definite witch hunt.

The following is a link of the actual 33 page COMPLAINT that was filed by a former (5 year) employee of Paula Deen's "little cooking empire". The employee is a white woman who was a general manager of various operations and restaurants owned by Paula Deen and her family.

Instead of relying on the sensational stories that are being written, why not read "the real thing" and judge for yourself based on the legal document ??

The thing is, it doesnt matter what she is...this can be done to anyone. I have no doubt that she is somewhat racist. Shes a southerner..probably descending from people who owned slaves. From what I read, a lot of this racist crap was her brother talking..not her. And, this complaining chick stayed there for 5 years. If I was so offended by these people, I would have been history when it began.

I have worked in several restaurants...and I could write a book. Bad language, lots of yelling, dirty talking. The thing is..if you cant take the heat...get outta the kitchen. You dont stay there 5 years, wait a couple more years and then cause problems.

And if I was Paula, I sure wouldnt lower myself to crying on tv. She has enough damned money. Retire and enjoy it..before you drop dead.

What I don't know is how this leads to over one million dollars in hush money to a former employee?

She could have negotiated down what was originally being asked ......sadly she will now find out paying $1.25M would have been a BARGAIN !!

My Dearest FJ --

The attorney was making an attempt to open discussions on some sort of settlement for the employee who obviously had a beef with the Deen Family for not being fairly compensated or respected. The complaint spells it out.

You may call it "hush money" ......or you can call it a "shakedown" ....it doesn't matter !!

Being SUED is now a "normal cost" of doing business in this Country for Corporate America !!

Some "complaints" are covered by insurance and when an insurance company gets involved they immediately do an assessment strictly based on the cost to litigate. That means they enter negotiations by offering a settlement for the plaintiff to simply "go away" so they can avoid the higher price of legal fees and costs.

Paula Deen's mistake was not recognizing she had a lot at risk based solely on an "image" and not assessing what a blow to that image would cost her to defend in the public arena and in the court room was stupid as a "business woman".

She could have negotiated down what was originally being asked ......sadly she will now find out paying $1.25M would have been a BARGAIN !!

What if I choose to disregard any facts about this case and continue to keep slamming this garden variety Leftist clown for being a fraud and a racist. Would you still love me in the morning?
