The Food Network will not be renewing Paula Deen's contract, which expires at the end of the month, according to a statement by a network spokesperson.

Deen is currently facing a discrimination lawsuit for using a racial slur during a deposition in a civil lawsuit.

The celebrity chef was scheduled to appear on this morning's TODAY show on NBC but cancelled the interview due to "exhaustion".

She then released her first public apology this morning, followed by another, more heartfelt video.

Deen has appeared on the Food Network in Paula's Party, The Next Food Network Star, Paula's Home Cooking, Not My Mama's Meals, Paula's Best Dishes and more.
