Just when people were (kind of) starting to forget that Paula Deen admitted to using th N-Word awhile back, she made a statement that quickly became a reminder. During an interview with People magazine set to hit stands Friday, Deen said:
I’m fighting to get my name back. I feel like ’embattled’ or ‘disgraced’ will always follow my name. It’s like that black football player who recently came out. He said, ‘I just want to be known as a football player. I don’t want to be known as a gay football player.’ I know exactly what he’s saying.
Deen was referring to NFL prospect Michael Sam.
