Paula Deen‘s racial discrimination comment in 2013 may never be forgiven or forgotten.

The former Food Network star is still trying to get out of the social hole—and now a financial hole as well. Now, the TV chef is selling her Savannah, GA, house for 12.5 million dollars because her income has severely diminished. But her going broke isn’t the only reason she’s ready to wash her hands clean of the eight-bedroom home—”Paula filmed her Food Network shows in that house,” an insider tells Star. “It’s a constant reminder of how much she’s lost.”

While Paula’s days of bringing home the bacon seem to be over, she’s also in a major cash crunch dishes Star‘s tipster.

“Paula spends like she’s pulling in $15 million a year, but she isn’t… not by a long shot,” adds the insider. “Paula’s plan is to relocate to New York City so she can hustle venture capitalists and media buyers to get cash infusions for her web network.”

Looks like the timer in your kitchen is done, Paula!
