Paula Deen has been dropped by diabetes drug maker Novo Nordisk.
The embattled celebrity kitchen personality partnered with the company in 2012 to promote its drug Victoza.
On Thursday, the pharmaceutical company announced, “Novo Nordisk and Paula Deen have mutually agreed to suspend our patient education activities for now, while she takes time to focus her attention where it is needed.”
The statement continued, “Novo Nordisk would like to acknowledge Paula’s involvement in our Diabetes in a New Light™ campaign, where she has helped make many people aware of type 2 diabetes and the lifestyle changes needed to control this serious disease.”
The decision marks the latest professional setback 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.
Wal-Mart also dropped her.
