Atlanta, June 20 (Reuters) - One of U.S. celebrity chef Paula Deen's employers said on Thursday it was monitoring the controversy over her admission that she has used a racial slur in the past, while Deen's own company said the cooking star does not condone racism.
In a May 17 court deposition that surfaced on Wednesday, Deen, who is white, was asked if she had used the so-called N-word, a racial epithet directed against African-Americans, to which she responded: "Yes, of course."
The Food Network, which broadcasts two popular shows featuring Deen and her Southern cooking, said it was keeping an eye on the flap resulting from her statements that have been widely criticized on social media.
"Food Network does not tolerate any form of discrimination and is a strong proponent of diversity and inclusion," the network said.

Atlanta (Reuters) - Grammy Award-winning rapper T.I. is once again out of federal prison and in a halfway house, his attorney said on Friday.
The Atlanta entertainer, whose real name is Clifford Harris, was released August 31 from a federal prison in Arkansas where he was serving an 11-month sentence on weapons possession and drug charges.
T.I. was assigned to a halfway house in Atlanta for the last month of his sentence. But shortly after leaving Arkansas, the rapper was returned to a federal prison in Atlanta because officials had an "issue" with his ride on a luxury bus from Arkansas to Atlanta, attorney Steve Sadow said.
Prison officials believed T.I. was conducting business on the bus, Sadow told Reuters on Friday.
"But we provided them with information that he wasn't actually conducting business on the bus," the attorney said.
