The Food Network's decision to drop Paula Deen from its lineup on Friday evening made it clear that the Savannah chef's career was in freefall. But she may not have hit rock bottom yet. 
 
 In a segment on the scandal Monday morning, CBS This Morning reported that several other corporations with ties to Deen were considering dropping their sponsorship over her history of racially insensitive remarks. The full segment is embedded above, so watch it for the full scoop. 
 
 Here are the highlights: 
 
 QVC and Kmart, which both sell Deen-branded homewares, are allegedly "reviewing their options." QVC issued a statement on Paula Deen that said the company has "no immediate plans to have her appear on QVC." 
 
 Kraft said it hadn't worked with Deen in over a year, and that it has no current business relationship with her. 
 
 Novo Nordisk, which manufactures the diabetes drug (Victoza) that Deen endorses, says that it has no plans to drop Deen. 
 
 Smithfield Hams, which has a longstanding partnership with Deen, did not respond to requests for comment from CBS This Morning. 
 
 UPDATE: 6-24 -- Moments after publishing this piece, Smithfield Foods announced that it was terminating its relationship with Paula Deen. The CEO of the company issued the following statement to Eater by email: 
 
 "Smithfield condemns the use of offensive and discriminatory language and behavior of any kind. Therefore, we are terminating our partnership with Paula Deen. Smithfield is determined to be an ethical food industry leader and it is important that our values and those of our spokespeople are properly aligned." 
 
 UPDATE: 6-27 -- In a shocking turn of events, Novo Nordisk announced Thursday that it, too, was suspending Paula Deen, the sponsor of its diabetes drug Victoza. Home Depot too! Paula's appearance on the "Today Show: seems not have had its intended effect... Here's the full story. ||||| Fighting for her financial life, Paula Deen tearfully told the TODAY show on Wednesday that she has used the ‘n’ word only once – but a former employee has come forward claiming she used it all the time and also made slurs against gay people! 
 
 Mincey McDonald, a waitress at Deen’s restaurant Lady & Sons from 1998 – 2003, told the National Enquirer, that the ‘n’ word “was Paula’s favorite word – she used it all the time. I’ve heard Paula specifically say that she did not want any n*****s working in front of the house as hostesses, waiters or bussers.” 
 
 McDonald’s comments are in the new issue of the Enquirer and she adds that Deen called gay people fa**ots.

 The Enquirer says McDonald passed a polygraph test on her allegations against Deen. 
 
 As Radar reported, Deen admitted in a depositon to using the ‘n’ word after having a gun held to her head in a bank robbery but also indicated that she had repeated conversations between black people, also using the ‘n’ word in that context. 
 
 She said in her deposition that her husband has told racist jokes in front of her.

 The Food Network dropped her, choosing not to renew her contract as the controversy raged out of control. 
 
 McDonald says that Paula treated black people “like animals.” Deen has denied the claims. 
 
 The new issue of the Enquirer is on sale Friday.
– As Paula Deen was dropped by seemingly every company she's ever been associated with, Novo Nordisk continued to say it would stand by her—but even that relationship appears to have frayed. The diabetes drug maker that partnered with Deen as she announced she had the disease today announced it is suspending the relationship "for now." A rep tells Eater there is the "option" to resume the partnership in the future, "but it's too early to say" whether that would happen. As if that wasn't bad enough, Target and Home Depot are also severing their relationships with Deen. Target will "phase out" her cooking merchandise and won't be ordering more, a rep tells TMZ. Home Depot also apparently sold her cookware, but will no longer, a rep confirms to NBC News. Still hanging on: Sears, which has said it is evaluating its Deen partnership. Here's the statement from Novo Nordisk: "Novo Nordisk and Paula Deen have mutually agreed to suspend our patient education activities for now, while she takes time to focus her attention where it is needed. Novo Nordisk would like to acknowledge Paula's involvement in our Diabetes in a New Light campaign, where she has helped make many people aware of type 2 diabetes and the lifestyle changes needed to control this serious disease." Her adoring public certainly doesn't seem to care: There's huge demand for her cruise vacations, and her books are selling like butter-slathered hotcakes.
