SAVANNAH, Georgia (CNN) – The Food Network announced Friday that it will not renew the contract of Paula Deen after she admitted using a racial epithet – but a black pastor who is friends with the celebrity chef said she “can’t be a racist.”
Deen apologized Friday for “the wrong that I’ve done,” a move that follows revelations this week that she admitted saying the N-word.
