Down-home celebrity chef and Food Network star Paula Deen and her sons have been slapped with a $40 million counter suit filed by by Celebrity Chefs Tours LLC, Eater National reported.
The suit is in response to one filed by Deen against the event promoter back in February. That suit alleges that CCT defamed Deen and her sons after they canceled a 10-city tour and the company allegedly talked trash about their reasons, Food Network Addict reported.
In the counter suit CCT filed on March 15, the event promoter says the Deen family failed to promote a string of appearances to which they had previously agreed.
The promoter also took issue with "the language used by Paula Deen on stage" and alleges that "her show is not 'family-friendly' and that audiences at her previous appearances have been disappointed by the fact that Paula Deen rarely cooks during her performance," Eater reported.
The Deens are also accused of turning in promotional videos "loaded with profanity and sexual innuendo" that CCT said they couldn't use to promote the event, Eater reported.
Deen's federal suit against CCT alleges that the event promoter bounced a $150,000 check and sent "bogus" wire transfer instructions, Courthouse News Service reported in February. Deen claims the promoters defamed her and her family by telling the media they backed out of the tour after receiving "full payment in advance."
Paula Deen Enterprises and Deen Brothers Enterprises made a deal with CCT in December, Deen's complaint charges, to have Paul and her sons Bobby and Jamie Deen and her husband Michael Groover participate in 10 events. They were owed a $150,000 deposit, but Deen Enterprises claims the payment was delayed and the check bounced.
"Although the plaintiffs were entitled under Section 7(d) of the Tour Agreement to terminate the Tour Agreement immediately after the $150,000 deposit went unpaid, they continued to work in good faith with CCT on the planning of the events," the complaint states.
When further scheduled payments were missed, Deen and company backed out of the tour, at which time the complaint says CCT began defaming the Deens.

3-19-2010 @2:58PM Celebrity Chef Fan said... As various media outlets have reported, apparently there never was a "bounced check" to Paula Deen. The money was wired to her and she has admitted receiving it. Plus, she is being sued because she defamed the promoter, even comparing that company to "spoiled food" in her restaurants.

She doesn't make anything outstanding, just old fattening recipes. She talks like white trash. I wouldn't make anything she cooks, and I stopped watching her years ago. Can't stand that "y'all" talk all the time, so uneducated!!!!
3-19-2010 @10:27PM Al Schrader said... I love Paula Deen. But, can you explain the shattering cookware? What I heard is that if you apply heat to the frying pan, it shatters. My sister went on one of those Paula Deen reality bus tours.
She said it ends with a meal at her Two guys & a girl restaurant, but they served canned black eyed peas & corn bread that you could get anywhere. Hundreds of miles cramped in a bus to eat canned peas & corn bread ? Al-
3-22-2010 @1:27AM Celebrity Chef Fan said... Turns out that there never was a "bounced check". The money was wired into Paula's agent's account, a fact that they are now admitting!

Paula, has always acted overly sexed. Watch any of her shows with men involved and she's going to say something suggestive. Didn't they EVER watch her show????
3-19-2010 @9:08PM Sandy said... She is so loud and obnoxious, reminds me of a drunk at a party. She gives me a headache after 5 minutes. Notice how fat her whole family is now. They should take her off and put someone with a little class.

3-23-2010 @10:33AM brenda newberry said... Why watch her if you don't like her, I think she is great. It takes a proud southerner to enjoy to enjoy her and her family. It sounds like you may be from the north, so why not just go back, if you don't like our food or our ways? have a great day
3-19-2010 @4:22PM p said... When she first started out, she was real down home adorable. \
However, the more fame & money came into her life , the more brash she became. Her mouth needs a little washing out with a strong soap.
She has become a risque old lady, and there's no need for that.
We stopped watching her shows a few yrs. ago. It's not because we are prudes .... It's because she became impossible to watch..... Her laugh is like what I'd imagine a street walkers to sound like.
She needs to get back to her roots... she has enough money now.
Here's hoping she gets a clue, and starts to tone down her mouth.
Your certainly not the cute southern LADY you once were Paula !!!!

3-20-2010 @12:17AM Cece said... I agree and have thought for a long time that she is a foul mouthed person who thinks it's funny to use sexual innuendo which it definitely is NOT. I will not watch her .... it is obvious her guests are uncomfortable with her language. There is nothing attractive about a large, older woman who thinks she is a sexy cover model with a potty mouth. Before she became "famous" she was much better. Now her head is as big as her behind.
3-19-2010 @9:02PM James said... ckh, perhaps is you had better command of the english language honey, like learning to spell and all. Then maybe we could all take you more seriously. Maybe.

Interesting. Savvy enough to get the "too / to" ( to, too, two - actually) part correct, but ignorant of the "your / you're" part.
3-19-2010 @5:44PM Aelis said... She's gone downhill over the years, for sure. She used to be sweet and simple (if over the top on calories) and fun to watch. Now it's more like watching a trailer park queen in a tiara. And I simply can't abide how she fawns all over the Obamas, too. And Jimmy Carter (she did a show with them). She has no common sense.

THE FAR RIGHT HATED JIMMY CARTER BECAUSE HE WAS THE MOST HONERABLE PERSON THAT MAYBE EVER OCCUPIED THE WHITE-HOUSE. HE TOLD YOU IDIOTS IN 1979 OUR BIGGEST NATIONAL THREAT WAS FORIEGH OIL, HE TOLD US ON JUNE 2, 1979, WE HAVE BECOME A NATION OF CONSUMPTION AND LOST OUR FOCUS. BUT RONALD REGEAN TOLD US WE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH OUR ARAB FRIEDS, AND OIL, AND HOW BIG JIMMY CARTER HAD MADE GOVERNMENT. WHEN CARTER WENT OUT WE HAD A 60 BILLION DOLLAR DIFICATE, WHEN REAGEN WENT OUT WE HAD A 5.22 TRILLION DOLLAR DEFICATE, NOW WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT WINGERS WHEN THE TRUTH BE OUT.
