WTF? Jennifer Brett, the AJC’s “Peach Buzz” columnist, is ashamed. Her Thursday, Apr. 25, column is headlined, “An apology to Paula Deen’s son, Jamie Deen, for my rudeness.”
Jennifer phone-interviewed Jamie about his appearance at this weekend’s American Diabetes Association Expo at Cobb Galleria. Jamie said that it was always good to be near his mama and brother.
Then, Brett writes, explaining her seismic faux pas in language that Paula would envy:
Oh, how is your Mama...? See? I didn’t even ask. Lawd where is my funeral home fan; I am giving myself the vapors acting such the fool...Since I was raised in the church, I do not bear false witness even when committing the unpardonable sin of rudeness...
As yet there is no word whether Jamie, whose mother’s food totally sucks, has accepted her apology.
