Stacy Dash Under Fire For Defending Paula Dean and Offering Support To Paula During Her Racist Scandal!! -- Video Inside -- Actress Stacey Dash took some heat on Twitter after offering support to embattled celebrity chef Paula Deen, who has been accused of racism.
The 66-year-old Deen is embroiled in controversy after she admitted to using the N-word 20 years ago, an acknowledgement she made during testimony for a lawsuit filed against her and her brother by a former manager at her Savannah, Ga., restaurant. In the suit, Lisa T. Jackson alleges Deen and her brother, "Bubba" Heir, committed acts of harassment, discrimination and racism that resulted in the end of the woman's five-year employment. Following the revelation, Deen was dropped by the Food Network.
Supporters have spoken out against the network's decision to axe the Southern chef. Some flocked to her Savannah restaurant, The Lady and Sons. Others, like Dash, took to Twitter. The former "Clueless" star defended Deen in a tweet Thursday, writing, "Only God can judge."
