And the Paula Deen fallout continues! In addition to an internet angry over her diabetes "coverup", high blood pressure worries and local gyms making fun of her now the Food Network's Butter Queen has rumors of familial discord to deal with.
According to sources at Page Six (so, y'know) Deen's sons Jamie and Bobby Dean were "upset over her deal to hawk Novo Nordisk’s Victoza because she was already taking a different diabetes medicine and responding well to it, sources told us. They said the sons 'were worried about her health and didn’t want her to switch drugs. She had been taking a different drug for a while, and was doing very well.' They didn’t see any reason to change that. However, she appears to be doing equally well on the new treatment."
They threatened to go to a different talent agency than Paula's, but were talked down at the last minute. And we're sure the fact that Bobby Dean was about to launch his healthy-ish cooking show "Not My Mama's Meals" on the Cooking Network helped persuade him and his brother not to bolt. But Deen still managed to lose her longtime publicist in the brouhaha. Though she doesn't seem too upset: Just look how happy she seems devouring a cheeseburger on a cruise ship with fans this week!
Meanwhile, just because Deen's recipes never get old, lets sit back and remember the time she taught us how to make deep-fried cheesecake:
