Paula Deen has now lost her partnerships with Sears, Kmart and Walgreens.
Sears Holdings, the company behind Sears and Kmart, confirmed on Friday that it plans to “phase out all products” linked to the embattled kitchen personality.
“We will continue to evaluate the situation. Our members’ needs will be given first priority as we work to continue to provide quality cookware in our stores and online,” said Sears Holding in a statement.
Meanwhile, Walgreens (which also runs Duane Reade) is also “phasing out” Deen’s products.
These developments mark the latest in a long line of professional setbacks for the fallen celebrity chef, whose racism scandal has already cost her high-profile gigs with Food Network and as a restaurateur for Caesars Entertainment, and merchandise deals with Walmart.
She was also dropped by Target and Home Depot.
Diabetes drug maker Novo Nordisk and home shopping empire QVC have suspended their relationships with Deen.
