In Paula Deans past; back in the early 90s, Paula was a victim of spousal abuse. That's right folks, it looks like all along Paula was a battered woman. She split up with her husband because he was beating the shit out of her. Obviously she must of gotten her ass whooped. Police records show what had transpired every time the police were called to their house in Georgia. Eventually she did split up with her husband who is the father of her two boys. This happened when the boys were still very young. They nearly lost the house since Paula could hardly pay the bills. She put her two young boys to work street vending her sandwiches that she has put together herself. The sandwiches that the boys could not sell were recycled. They were given to the boys as food for Dinner. The family was practically penniless and the utility company had to shut off her gas and her power. Her water stayed on though since it's illegal to shut it off in an occupied dwelling. She ended up having to cook much of her food on a butane camp stove. Her neighbor was kind enough to give her butane and propane just so she can keep cooking up her home made meals.
Now we all know the truth about Paula. That she was a battered woman. Notice how she always wears big clothes to cover up all the scars?
