In an effort to have the public as well as her family, friends and team forgive her, Paula Deen releases this video statement pleading for forgiveness via a new Youtube Channel.
Do you think the public will forgive Paula Deen? Some are not phased by the video statement or just don’t believe her apology.

James Gandolfini is dead. Paula Deen is alive. This is the best argument for atheism I've ever heard.

.@Paula_Deen I knew you couldn't be trusted. You can't fry all that stuff and only season it with Salt & Pepper! You had us for a sec tho.

I wonder what #PaulaDeen said that made them have to edit her apology this much. http://t.co/hortuLrRAy

Others are definitely Team Paula.
Apology accepted, @Paula_Deen. I can DM you my address if you wanna send me some of them delicious baked goods. For the free, of course :)

Paula Deen is so funny and sweet to me. Everyone should leave her alone and back off.

TMZ reports that:
This was an apology produced by committee — a committee of lawyers, publicists and other managers who don’t understand the meaning of the word “apology.”
