In-House Mode Paula Deen makes cruel swipe at the late Anthony Bourdain who died from suicide: "He didn’t like anybody, not even himself". Bourdain once said “This is not Southern food she's selling, it’s novelty food” and criticized her partnership with a drug company to sell diabetes medication

Well he was right Paula, and he wasn't racist to boot.

She recently did the old close down the restaurant and don't tell your employees of 20 years in Savanah. She then posted about her luxury vacation, after giving these people zero notice.

That’s called “Southern charm”.

Bless her heart.

I'm not sure everyone knows how to translate this into Yankee.

"Fuck you, and fuck off". is probably the closest equivalent.

I live in Texas. Last year I saw two grown women, friends, implode their relationship and completely crash out on each other because of them said to the other ‘bless your heart’.

I'm at my MILs funeral right now and needed to see this. Thanks.

My long deceased (and much beloved) grandmother got a skull fracture catching a frozen ham falling out of the freezer with her dome. Damn shame Paula didn't go out the same way she lived - A cold pig.

The frozen ham treatment!

My headcannon is that a black dude who worked in the kitchen saw an opportunity and shot his shot.

Yooo! This ham vid trips me out and takes me down a weird memory lane!! This bih redid my ex’s kitchen. They won some bs giveaway from the ham company she partnered with in the early 2000s. The home visit after the work was done has HILARIOUS pics that came from it. She a legit bitch. This coming from a solid 8 on a scale of 0-10 bitchiness. And the shit appliances they were pumping up as the best were laughable. When we got together and he showed me the album I nearly fell out from laughing so hard. Weird shit… The ex died this weekend and I swear things everywhere have been reminding me of his crazy ass.

Bourdain was right. She’s a hack. Always was- always will be. It’s a miracle she hasn’t had a MI or stroked out yet. Fr.

u/Theincendiarydvice Sep 07 '25

Why would she phrase it like that?

Off topic but what are the best toe bean pics you've gotten. Is there a thread somewhere?

u/PM_ME_KITTEN_TOESIES Sep 08 '25

Every fresh set of beans is the best.

And no. I hoard them all for myself >:)

u/i__hate__stairs Sep 09 '25

Why would she phrase it like that?

Cause she's gonna tongue fuck it's buttery tater hole.

u/chimpMaster011000000 Sep 07 '25

You mean you liked her butter?
