Paula Deen On ‘Dancing With The Stars’? Rumors Begin In The Wake Of Controversy
Posted in: Today's ChiliPaula Deen is in need of some serious damage control, and she may be looking to “Dancing With The Stars” for a chance at redemption.
After her “Today” interview with Matt Lauer didn’t help quiet the controversy about her history of racist comments — Deen has lost multiple sponsorships, including Wal-Mart, Target and QVC, since — the disgraced former Food Network star hired Judy Smith, the woman who inspired “Scandal’s” Olivia Pope. Now Deen may try to dance her troubles away.
Rumors about Deen joining “Dancing With The Stars” for the show’s Season 17 have surfaced. Rob Shuter reports that an insider close to the ABC competition series said, “The producers would love to have Paula join the cast of next season … They have a history of casting controversial people like Kate Gosselin and Bristol Palin, if Paula says ‘yes,’ you can add her to that list.”
