Paula Deen Joins 'Dancing with the Stars' Fall 2015 (Report)

Paula Deen will reportedly be joining the upcoming Fall 2015 season of Dancing with the Stars, multiple outlets are reporting.

The 68-year-old former Food Network chef was apparently asked to join in previous seasons, but she turned it down because she thought it was “not the appropriate forum for her,” a source told Us Weekly.

Back in 2013, Paula was in hot water after she was video taped using a racial slur in a deposition, which ultimately ended her relationship with the Food Network.

Nick Carter, Bindi Irwin, and Victor Espinoza have all been confirmed for this season, which begins September 14.
