PAULA DEEN’s legal troubles are boiling over into her marriage to tugboat captain MICHAEL GROOVER– and it’s starting to look like a recipe for romantic disaster, says a source.
Last year, former employee Lisa Jackson filed a bombshell lawsuit against Paula. She claimed she was subjected to racial and sexual harassment during her five years as general manager of Uncle Bubba’s Seafood & Oyster House – a Savannah restaurant Paula co-owns with her brother, Earl “Bubba” Hiers.
IN court document filed in Georgia’s Chatham County Superior Court, Jackson alleges Paula and Bubba both used the N-word, and that Bubba often referred to Jackson as “my little Jew girl.”
Jackson also claimed that Bubba displayed pornography in the workplace, forcibly tried to kiss her and spit in her face.
