Things aren't going too well for the chef that loves butter and using racial slurs. Earlier this year Paula Deen's San Antonio restaurant closed without warning, employees complained about their wages, and now, the former Food Network star was a little loose with her lips and made some "insensitive comments" after the death of Food Network star, Carl Ruiz. Yeesh, not a great year for Paula Deen.

The Run-Down
Owner of La Cubana restaurant in New York, Celebrity chef Carl Ruiz was a frequent guest on Food Network, popping up on shows like Guy's Grocery Games, Guy's Ranch Kitchen, and Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Unexpectedly, Carl Ruiz passed away at the young age of 44. Food Network stars like Jet Tila (who has appeared on Iron Chef America and Cutthroat Kitchen) and Alex Guarnaschelli shared their condolences.
