Quote Of The Day: Anthony Bourdain On Paula Deen

Posted on April 10, 2012 at 6:00 PM

Since when did the Travel Channel become the new Bravo? It looks like Anthony Bourdain is reigniting his war of words with Paula Deen by criticizing her for profiting on her Diabetes illness.

Here’s what Us Weekly have to say about it:

The Food Network and Travel Channel stars have been engaged in a war of words since Deen went public with her type 2 diabetes diagnoses on Jan. 17 after keeping it a secret three years. Bourdain took issue with Deen for for her lucrative endorsement deal Novo Nordisk, which treats the disease.

“Thinking of getting into the leg-breaking business, so I can profitably sell crutches later,” Anthony previously commented on Twitter.

Deen spoke out against Bourdain’s remarks calling them “very, very cruel” in Prevention magazine. Bourdain addressed the most recent “cruel” comments made by Deen on GMA saying, “This isn’t about diabetes. Diabetes is a terrible illness that is epidemic in this country,” Bourdain explained on GMA.

Bourdain admitted “there’s a lot to admire about Paula Deen and her life.” However, he called her “cynical” for having her brand be “excess without guilt” when she knew “in a very personal way what this could and might very well leadto.”

Yikes! Perhaps Anthony should just back off from Paula Deen for awhile and just concentrate on his career before his words come back to bite him in the you-know-where? What do you think?

  1. I agree with him 100% – she’s only in it for the money… Can’t stand the sight of her… He brought up a good point about her on WWH – look up Smithfield hams with her name – should upset all of her fans…

  2. I agree with him too. She is all about that money! I don’t ever watch her anymore. I can do without all of those sticks of butter in my food!

  3. Im 100% with him..Paula Deen is a greedy person and I wish she had at least a bit of shame–not the case tho :(

  4. love Anthony but not nice…Paula did not make people eat the food, that’s what she knows how to cook.
