Put a fork in her.
Celebrity chef Paula Deen was dumped by the Food Network yesterday — despite posting videos apologizing for her use of racial slurs.
Officials at the network said they won't renew her contract, which expires next month, after she flippantly admitted to using the N-word during a court deposition.
Asked under oath whether she had ever used the slur, she replied, "Yes, of course," on May 17, according to the deposition.
Deen then canceled a "Today" show appearance yesterday — in which she was expected to address the scandal — opting to instead post apology videos on YouTube.
PAULA DEEN Off TV for using racial slur.
"I want to apologize to everybody for the wrong that I've done," Deen said in one heavily edited video.
"I want to learn and grow from this. Inappropriate, hurtful language is totally, totally unacceptable."
She added, "Please forgive me for the mistakes that I've made."
She later posted a second apology video addressing "Today" show host Matt Lauer, claiming she was too distraught to show up.
"I was physically not able to [make it] this morning. The pain has been tremendous that I have caused to myself and others," she said.
The apology-fest comes after a former employee sued her, claiming she used sexual innuendo and racial slurs that created a hostile work environment.
The ex-employee, Lisa Jackson, is a former manager of Uncle Bubba's Oyster House, which Deen owns with her brother in Savannah, Ga.
Asked in the deposition to give an example of a time she used the N-word, Deen replied she used it once after she was held at gunpoint by a black robber.
She claimed she used the term after the stickup, "probably in telling my husband," according to the deposition.
The 66-year-old Georgia-based chef is famous for her fried and buttery food.
Deen's publicist did not immediately return calls seeking comment yesterday.
