Paula Deen "Doing OK" After Being Whacked by Flying Ham

Monday – November 23, 2009 – 3:55pm

Celeb chef Paula Deen got quite a scare Monday morning when she was smacked in the face with a piece of ham at a charity event in Atlanta.

Deen, 62, was helping unload a truck load of hams at Hosea Feed the Hungry & Homeless to make a Thanksgiving donation on behalf of Smithfield Foods when someone playfully threw a ham.

It missed the storage bucket and ended up hitting the Food Network star on the head and nose, her rep tells Usmagazine.com.

Deen was "startled at first, but quickly regained focus and kept her humor," says her rep.

Deen later laughed off the mishap, telling local station WXIA-TV that the ham "hit me full long in the face and 'bout knocked me cuckoo, but I'm fine."

    Who throws a whole ham at an event for Hungry and Homless people? To throw food around as a joke when people are starving is just mean and thoughtless.

    I was in Savannah, GA where she lives and no one there insists on inserting " y'all " into every other sentence. Her put-on Mammy Yokum act has grown tired and makes me ill. As for her charitable heart, can you say photo-op ? Wake up, people.

    Paul Deen was doing this for charity. I am glad she is okay. It looked painful.

    "Ginny" and "Jon Gosselin", your posts had me in stitches! Thanks for the laugh! As for Paula, it's good to hear she's so devoted to others and has such a good attitude. She is a dear woman and I wish her much success!

    I hit my head on a shelf today and had to put an icepack on it. Would US like a comment from me or maybe like to cover my story?

    She is so sweet... Even when she gets hit in the face. I don't think she has a mean bone in her body

    Paula is a great lady and does a lot of charity work! Glad you are ok!
  • November 23, 2009 - 4:54pm Jon Gosselin Says:

    That wasn't an accident. It's supposed to be Jon & Kate Plus 8, and you had to go stealing Kate for your show. I hope that ham in the face taught you a lesson. Sincerely, Jon Gosselin
