Seems a little dramatic to say Paula Deen’s life is “destroyed”.
- paulddraper 8y agoNo, she was not literally murdered. She was blackballed. Someone had accused Dean of saying the N word, which she denied but then admitted to using it years ago. In a matter of weeks, Food Network, J.C. Penney, Kmart, Sears, Target, Walmart and her book publisher all dropped her, despite her apologies for her confession. Jimmy Carter said, "I think she has been punished, perhaps overly severely, for her honesty in admitting it and for the use of the word in the distant past."
- erikpukinskis 8y agoWell I guess “should your life be destroyed?“ wasn’t the question after all then. I wish people would write clearly on this subject instead of using meaningless hyperbolic language. It’s an important subject.
- paulddraper 8y agoNor do I think the question is whether "rapists should be prosecuted".
