Morris News Service reports that Chatham County Judge Louisa Abbot said she would file an order denying the request by attorneys for Paula Deen and her business entities.
Attorneys for Deen said Tuesday that a former worker who claimed she was sexually harassed and subjected to a hostile work environment at a restaurant co-owned by Deen and her brother made false claims after Deen refused to pay her to keep quiet.
A statement from the Oliver Maner law firm, which represents Deen says the lawsuit filed Monday by Lisa Jackson "makes false allegations against Paula Deen and they will be proven false in court."
