Deen deleted the post soon after posting it. In a statement, she blamed her social media manager, who she said has been fired.

"Paula Deen's Social Media Manager posted a picture this morning of Paula and Bobby Deen dressed in costume as Lucy and Ricky, from I Love Lucy. This photograph is from a 2011 Halloween episode of Paula's Best Dishes. Paula immediately had this picture taken down as soon as she saw the post and apologizes to all who were offended. As such, Paula Deen Ventures has terminated their relationship with this Social Media Manager," the statement said. 

But the damage was already done. A New York Daily News headline said it all: “Have You Learned Nothing Paula?”

The women of The Talk were just as shocked. Aisha Tyler said: "I don't care if you see it as racist or not -- that woman has a legacy of racial insensitivity. It is not that she just admitted to using the 'N' word, she wanted to do a slave-themed event." 

The photo was taken two years ago for a Halloween episode of her Food Network show.
