Paula Deen’s back … and Robert Irvine’s back is probably a little sore because of it Monday morning.

Deen, who lost millions of dollars’ worth of business partnerships last year after it was revealed that she had used the “N” word and once contemplated a plantation-themed wedding, wowed the crowd at the festival by mounting Irvine and riding him across the stage.
She also referred to him as “boy.”

Deen has a history of public physical interactions with Irvine. At an earlier event, Deen licked butter off of Irvine’s bare abs, and also doing the horsey routine with him.
Perhaps, next time Deen is considering a wedding ceremony based on the subjugation of others, she should have the wait staff dress as Irvine.
Watch Deen giddy-up in the video below.
