A spokesman for Paula Deen says she didn’t post a 2011 Halloween costume photo on her Twitter account showing her son Bobby in dark makeup as “I Love Lucy” character Ricky Ricardo. Deen spokesman Jaret Keller said Tuesday that a social media manager posted the photo taken in connection with Deen’s former Food Network show. Keller added in her statement that the manager, who was not identified, was fired from Paula Deen Ventures. The photo was quickly removed Tuesday from Twitter, but not before drawing a flurry of online comments about Bobby Deen’s use of makeup to portray Ricky, the fictional TV husband portrayed by Ball’s real-life spouse Desi Arnaz.
