Paula Deen appeared in a YouTube video titled “Love & Best Dishes: Peaches and Cream Recipe | No Bake Desserts,” in June 2024. In the video, Deen walked her audience through making the sweet dessert at home, but many were too distracted by her appearance. Although Deen has sported a trimmer figure since she was handed down her diabetes diagnosis about a decade ago, she may have dropped more weight than her initial 35-pound weight loss. And though Deen is currently in her late 70s, and just as susceptible to the aging process as everyone else, fans can’t help but comment on her appearance.
One user tweeted, “Paula Deen aged like the pound of butter she’s always melting in her dishes.” Another fan compared Paula’s current appearance to her look from a few years ago. “I guess I haven’t seen Paula Deen in quite some time #pauladeen,” they tweeted. “That can’t be Paula Deen. Seriously?! Woooowww, the difference is dramatic!” wrote another user. Despite her controversial past, Deen also found support online. “I get that we don’t rock with Paula Deen anymore — for valid reasons — but why is everyone so surprised to see an 80 year old woman look like an 80 year old woman?” tweeted another user. “Paula Deen is 77 how tf do you want her to look,” tweeted another.
