Paula Deen does it again...

http://www.people.com/article/paula-deen-apologizes-fires-social-media-manager-brownface-bobby-deen-twitter-photo

Hours after a controversial photo appeared on Paula Deen's Twitter account, the TV chef has fired her social media manager and apologized to her fans.

In the photo, Deen and her son Bobby were dressed as Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Bobby, 45, was wearing skin-darkening makeup.

After a vitriolic Twitter backlash, the photo was deleted.
