A couple of weeks ago, WTOC reported a settlement in the lawsuit filed by Lisa Jackson against Paula Deen, her brother Bubba Hiers, and other parties.
But in a matter of hours, the plaintiff’s attorney who was the source of that news, subsequently retracted it. Now WTOC’s Don Logana is again reporting that the suit has been settled after mediation. The portion of the suit dealing with racial issues was dismissed a couple of weeks ago largely because Jackson, who is white, could not prove that she was in fact harmed by the behaviors that she alleges and that seem largely confirmed by the depositions.
As I’ve said over and over, this lawsuit should have been settled ages ago.
So here’s my first embed of a public Facebook post — it’s a new feature that Facebook added recently:
I’ll keep an eye out for other confirmation.
