Paula Deen's Today Show Interview with Matt Lauer Here

If you think you can stomach watching Paula Deen sob uncontrollably while trying to defer guilt over her transgressions of alleged racism and hate speak, here it is.

As I told a colleague who asked for my professional opinion on how Deen has handled herself from a public relations standpoint, my impression is that Paula Deen is the typical celebrity who does not listen to her advisers, lawyers or PR professionals.

Every statement she has made is downright stupid and self serving. Going on TV with Matt Lauer and crying just makes her look like someone seeking pity

I read just this morning that she finally hired a high powered PR person to help her out of this mess, but it's probably too late.
