Marysol Patton Confirms Demotion on The Real Housewives of Miami

On August 12, The Real Housewives of Miami Season 3 will premiere on Bravo. Viewers of the reality series can expect a stream of cat fights, wedding planning, drama.. and a bit less of Marysol Patton. Along with her entertaining mother, the star confirmed this week to Radar Online that she’s been demoted to a recurring member of the program’s cast. The Real Housewives of Miami Season 3 Trailer “I’m not in the main title shot with the photos with the girls, but I film just as much as I did when I was a regular housewife,” Patton says . “So, I guess it will come down to the editing.” Why did the network reduce Marysol screen time? She thinks Bravo wanted to focus on fewer Housewives “so that there was more quality and the audience could get more involved with the ladies and their stories. It was too hard to do that when there was seven or eight of us.” Patton isn’t bitter (even referring to the move as “smart”), but she isn’t anxious to leave the show entirely either. “I enjoy myself and I enjoy the friendships that were made and the ladies that I’ve met,” she said. “Today and where I am today, I could say maybe a few more years.”

Paula Deen Dropped By Caesars as Latest Casualty of Racism Scandal

Paula Deen’s partnership with Caesars Entertainment has gone bust. The latest casualty of the celeb chef’s ongoing racism scandal, which resulted in her firing from Food Network , Deen was 86’d by the company today. Paula Deen Cries on Today Apparently Paula Deen’s Today interview didn’t stop the bleeding. The company “reached an agreement with Paula Deen Enterprises not to renew the business relationship,” a statement released today reads. While Caesars “appreciate[s] Paula’s sincere apologies,” the company believes its move to sever ties with her is “in the best interests of both parties.” Caesars currently operates four branded Paula Deen Buffet properties in the following casinos in Louisville, Memphis, Chicago and North Carolina. The buffets will be rebranded in the coming months. On Monday, Deen was dropped by Smithfield Foods , which had previously sold Paula-branded hams and used her as a spokeswoman for the brand. Other sponsors are reportedly weighing their options. Paula Deen Today Show Interview Not everyone is itching to ditch Deen, though. Her restaurants have reportedly been “slammed” (with customers, in a good way), according to her brother. Interest in her annual Paula Deen Cruise has been so great since the scandal broke that its organizer added an additional departure date for 2014. Finally, a Paula Deen Facebook fan page has more than 200,000 Likes since it was created over the weekend, a sign that she still has a fan base. Think that will last if her exposure is reduced? In other words, will people still crave Paula Deen recipes if she loses all her shows and big partnerships?
