her brother finally ran it into the ground once the manager left after years of abuse and indifference to her complaints.

The article claims it was deen's use of a racial slur, 30 years ago. Not the case. It had to do with racial and sexual harassment permeating through her business happening today.

In Hiers’ deposition in 2013 he testified that he frequently viewed pornography on company-owned sites at work and had a history of cocaine use and alcohol abuse. He admitted taking money from the restaurant in 2010 — allegedly as much as $25,000 to $30,000 a month, a practice Deen eventually discovered. He said his sister was in control of the business but it was never a big moneymaker


What I want to know, if you can steal $30,000 a month from a restaurant it is a money maker.

Another interesting event, the police blockade. Could it be tax evasion? The employees were given zero notice, trucks pulled up and removed equipment. The last time I heard about those things happening was when the IRS seized a local restaurant in the middle of lunch hour.
