On my damn — it’s Paula Deen and the Case of The Incredible Flying Ham!

Culinary extraordinaire and Food Network personality Paula Deen was whacked smack in the face by an errantly-thrown ham at a recent charity event in Atlanta over the weekend. Deen was helping promote Smithfield Foods’ initiative to feed the hungry this Thanksgiving when she was hit with the giant pork.

Paula managed to escape injury, but she later told CBS reporters that the area around her nose was a bit sore. “I just got hit with a hog so what do I expect,” said Deen through laughter. “Ran head on to a hog. I think it might have hit maybe just right where, I thought it busted my lip, but it didn’t.”
