An image posted on her social media accounts Tuesday showed Deen and her son Bobby dressed as Lucy and Ricky Ricardo from the classic TV comedy show “I Love Lucy” — which might not have been so bad if Bobby Deen’s face was not clearly painted a darker shade of brown than his hands.
Many were quick to call out the look as “brownface” and ask what the popular chef was thinking, especially two years after she was fired from the Food Network for using a racial slur.
Fans on her Facebook page called it “adorable” and “cute” before the post was removed.
