Uncle Bubba's is now closed.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People were pissed off, including one woman who says,&amp;#160; \"My mother worked there for over 8 years and no one called her!!! My fiance also worked there no one called him, in fact a UB manager called him LAST NIGHT to get his availability for next week!\" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Another wrote, \"My mother put in some hard work for years with you &amp;amp; she finds out when she shows up for work this morning to be escorted by a police officer to get her belongings.\" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may recall ... the GM of Bubba's sued Paula ... and during her depo Paula recounted the story where she once used the N word to describe an African American man who held her up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We reached out to Deen's rep ... so far, no word back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class=\"lightbox-link\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/photos/2010/06/07/2784-paula-deen-whats-cookin-good-lookin/\"&gt;&lt;img alt=\"0403_paula_deen_happier_times_footer\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2014/04/03/0403-paula-deen-happier-times-footer-2.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
