- Paula Deen is attempting a comeback with a new cooking show.
- The Southern chef was forced off the air and lost most of her corporate partners in 2013, after Deen admitted to using the n-word during a lawsuit over racist harrassment.
- Past scandals include allegations that Deen tried to make a cook dress like Aunt Jemima, an interview in which she sympathized with slave-holding ancestors, and a profane blooper reel in which she says a dish smells like "stinky coochie."
Paula Deen is attempting a comeback after losing her TV show and many endorsements after allegations of racist and otherwise inappropriate actions.
Deen is now starring in "Positively Paula," a cooking show that began airing on RFD-TV in early January.
Many fans have missed Deen since she was forced off the air after a lawsuit involving reports of racism caused companies to cut ties with the chef in 2013. However, others may find themselves wondering why Deen is being welcomed back to the spotlight after her long list of scandals.
For people who have forgotten why Deen was forced off the air, we've compiled a list of the cooking star's most scandalous moments throughout her career.
