VIDEOS: Paula Deen: 'Please Forgive Me for the Mistakes That I've Made'

Yesterday afternoon, before it was revealed that the Food Network would not be renewing Paula Deen's contract, the TV personality and chef released two Youtube videos, begging for forgiveness. You can check them both out below.

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 The Today Show yesterday on NBC but cancelled the interview due to "exhaustion". She then released her first public apology yesterday morning, followed by another, more heartfelt video.

Deen is well known for her Southern Cooking passion, having sold more than 8,000,000 of her 14 cookbooks and received an Emmy Award nomination for her work as host of "Paula's Best Dishes." Deen has also appeared on the Food Network in "Paula's Party", "The Next Food Network Star", "Paula's Home Cooking" and more.

Deen's family continues to be connected to her work; her son Bobby's show "Not My Mama's Meals" is a hit on Cooking Channel and her son Jamie has a new show "Home for Dinner with Jamie Deen" on The Food Network.
