Michele Obama is livid that Paula Deen is saying that the first lady pigs out on fattening foods.
As Deen was promoting her new book, “Paula Deen’s Southern Cooking bible, she said that Michelle stuffed herself on greasy french fries, fatty hot chicken wings and sugary deep-fried Snickers bars!
Apparently, “Michelle’s spitting mad,” a source said.
“She thinks Paula is trying to smear her and her family just as the 2012 presidential election race swings into gear.”
The bad blood may have began before Barack Obama was elected president in 2008, when Michelle made an appearance on Deen’s “Paula’s Party” show where we learned that fried shrimp was her family’s favorite meal.
Then in an interview after filming the program, Paula said Michelle would be serving high-fat, greasy and sugary foods in the White House if Obama won the election!
“She’s no different than the rest of us,” Paula said about Michelle in a recent interview.
Paula also said: “She probably ate more than any other guest I ever had on the show! She kept eating even during commercials. Know what (the Obamas’) favorite foods are? Hot wings. Y’know – those kinds of foods that aren’t necessarily top-of-the-list healthy foods.”
“Michelle now deeply regrets ever being on Paula’s show,” said the source. “There are a lot of digs she would have been able to brush off, but portraying her as a high-calorie gorger during her crusade for healthy eating is crossing the line.”
