Deen announced Thursday, July 4, 2013 that she has cut business ties with the agent who helped make her a Food Network star and launch a media and merchandising empire that has largely crumbled in the wake of her admission that she used racial slurs in the past. She gave no reason for her parting with Weiner in a prepared statement. (AP Photo/Carlo Allegri, File) ATLANTA (AP) — Authorities on Friday arrested a New York man charged with trying to extort money from embattled celebrity cook Paula Deen in exchange for not going to the media with "true and damning statements" he said she made.
