"Paula Deen may lose her QVC line of kitchen utensils in the wake of her recent controversy, according to a new report.  The celebrity chef came under fire earlier this week after admitting to having used the &amp;#039;n-word&amp;#039; and planned a &amp;quot;slavery-themed&amp;quot; wedding reception in a leaked deposition.   Deen has since issued a number of public apologies regarding the deposition, which was initially in relation to a sexual harassment and racial discrimination suit against her restaurant in Georgia.  The Food Network, for which Deen has hosted several cooking shows, recently announced that it will not be renewing her contract at the end of the month in light of her comments.  The 66-year-old may now lose another contract, as TMZ reports that the shopping network QVC is considering letting her go.  A rep said that the network has &amp;quot;concerns [over] the unfortunate Paula Deen situation&amp;quot; as QVC &amp;quot;does not tolerate discriminatory behaviour&amp;quot;. The spokesperson added: &amp;quot;We are closely monitoring these events and we are reviewing our business relationship with Ms Deen. In the meantime, we have no immediate plans to have her appear on QVC.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
