Paula Deen, the deep-fried media personality who cannot get enough butter and controversy, will not appear at a D.C. event in November after all.

As the Post first reported, ticket holders to the Metropolitan Cooking and Entertaining Show D.C. received an email yesterday informing them that Deen had a “schedule conflict” and would not appear at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center on November 2 and 3.

At the height of the Deengate in June, after she was fired from the Food Network, MetroCooking released a statement saying they would stand by their ham-cooker.

“Paula Deen has been a friend of The Metropolitan Cooking & Entertaining Show for many years,” a statement said. “She has apologized and we are taking her apology at her word and moving forward accordingly.”

But as the Post reports, MetroCooking didn’t have a signed contract with Deen for the appearance.

MetroCooking DC had been touting Deen’s appearance for months now. When asked why organizers had been promoting the appearance if they didn’t have an official contract signed, a spokeswoman wrote via e-mail that all previous arrangements with the celebrity were put into flux when Deen fired her longtime agent after the racial discrimination lawsuit (which a federal judge dismissed earlier this month).

“MetroCooking started the promotions before she fired her agent,” the spokeswoman e-mailed. “They had to start from scratch with her new representatives.”

An events listing on Deen’s website does not show any conflict for the date. Request for comment from Deen’s public relations team was not immediately returned.
