Target cuts ties with Paula Deen

The celebrity cook’s fame continues to unravel as Target Corporation, Home Depot Inc., and Novo Nordisk announce they will be cutting ties with Paula Deen.

Target, whose headquarters is in Minneapolis, said on Thursday that it will slowly begin to phase out Paula Deen-branded cookware and other items sold in the store as well as on its website.

Home Depot, which only supplied Paula Deen cookware online, said that it pulled her items off of its website on Wednesday. Novo Nordisk, a diabetes drug-maker, said that it and Deen have mutually agreed to suspend their partnership.

These developments are the latest to hit Deen’s business.
