Paula Deen’s company appears to be falling apart at the seams.
Target, Home Depot, and Novo Nordisk are the most recent companies to part ways with Deen.
Home Depot removed all Paula Deen branded products from its website yesterday.
Target appears to be following Wal-Mart’s lead.
"We have made a decision to phase out the Paula Deen merchandise in our stores as well as on Target.com…Once the merchandise is sold out, we will not be replenishing inventory," Target spokesman Molly Snyder told The Today show.
Even Novo Nordisk cancelled its contract with Deen early. The business relationship between the two appeared strained from the very beginning. She announced her diagnosis on the Today show last year amid suspicion that she was trying to profit from her diagnosis.
“Right now we’re letting her focus on what she needs to do … which is how she’s rebuilding her relationship with the public,” Novo Nordisk spokesman Ken Inchausti told Bloomberg Businessweek .
On a brighter note, Deen’s cook books are selling well on Amazon. Deen’s newest book is a best seller in Books on Amazon’s website. Other Deen books are currently out of stock.
