Paula Deen’s first marriage disintegrated into a living hell – and The National ENQUIRER has exclusively obtained the bombshell divorce papers that prove it!
According to the court documents, Paula and first husband Jimmy Deen “separated on or about July 17, 1992, and … acknowledge there exists no chance of reconciliation.”
The 17-year marriage was “irretrievably broken,” the papers said, and the star chef revealed there was one big reason the union was doomed to fail.
“He drank, and he drank way too much to suit me,” she wrote in her 2007 memoir, “Paula Deen: It Ain’t All About the Cookin’.”
“Even one or two beers was too much, because that’s all it would take to drive him away from me.”
