Daily #1: Laid It Down and Didn’t Say a Word’: Paula Deen Shares Moment With Vegan Ellen DeGeneres
Paula Deen approached Ellen DeGeneres with a large ham in her hand, though she admits in her documentary, Canceled: The Paula Deen Story, that she had no idea the comedian was a vegan. “I walked out and I said, ‘I brought a ham for my favorite ham. Isn’t that sweet?'” Deen remembers, with the footage showing Deen telling DeGeneres, “He’s so heavy, he’s your pig to keep up with now!” DeGeneres then takes the ham and tosses it to the ground before moving on.
“She took it, laid it down, and didn’t say a word,” Deen tells the documentary crew. “I found out later she was a vegetarian. She did not eat meat. I felt like a turd.” A representative for DeGeneres had no comment on the documentary scene, but clarified to Entertainment Weekly that DeGeneres is a vegan, not a vegetarian, as Deen says in the film. In the film, Deen takes a swipe at CNN’s Anthony Bourdain, years after he died by suicide in 2018, saying, “I felt like he didn’t like anybody. Not even himself, maybe.”
