Paula Deen has been dropped by two more companies – Target and Home Depot.
In a statement released by Target on Thursday, the company said, “We have made a decision to phase out the Paula Deen merchandise in our stores as well as on Target.com. Once the merchandise is sold out, we will not be replenishing inventory.”
Home Depot made a similar decision, saying it would no longer carry Deen-branded items in its kitchen and cookware departments.
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.
