Paula Deen - Comeback Underway?
So, the judge in the discrimination case against Deen dismissed the case, with prejudice, yesterday. The parties reached an undisclosed settlement and the case can not be refiled later.
And, voila!, the plaintiff in the case is now singing a very different tune. Must have been a nice settlement.
Here's Lisa Jackson's statement:
"I assumed that all of my complaints about the workplace environment were getting to Paula Deen, but I learned during this matter that this was not the case. The Paula Deen I have known for more than eight years, is a woman of compassion and kindness and will never tolerate discrimination or racism of any kind toward anyone. I now know that the workplace environment issues that I raised are being reviewed and will in the future no longer be at issue. I wish Ms. Deen and her family all the best in all of their future endeavors and I am very pleased that this matter has been now been resolved and can now be put behind us."
Looks like Paula's new legal advisers and PR representatives are smarter than her former team.
