After Racist N-Word Scandal and Meltdown, Paula Deen Son Says Chef Is Making Comeback, Appearance [UPDATE]

Don’t count Paula Deen out just yet. After a summer scandal where she was accused of being a racist and using the n-word, the chef may be making a comeback. Her son Jamie certainly thinks so...provided she doesn’t have anymore on-air meltdowns.

Jamie recently sat down with Closer, where he discussed how the highly-publicized scandal affected the family:

“It was a tough summer, but it’s made us stronger as a family…We are good members of the community and our attitude is to learn from our mistakes and go forward.”

Paula’s son also spoke about the family’s big plans for 2014:

“We look forward to getting back to work and persevering. We are going to have a big year in 2014!”’

It seems like Paula may be off to a good start if her website is any indication. On February 8, the former cooking show host will be appearing in Buffalo, NY.

A synopsis of the event comes courtesy of Paula Deen’s official website:

Paula Deen is coming to Buffalo, NY to perform a live cooking show and let VIP ticket holders enjoy a delicious Southern feast with a menu created by Paula herself!
