Paula Deen posted a Twitter photo, now removed, of her son, Bobby Deen, in "brown face" as a Transformation Tuesday update.

"Lucyyyyyyy! You got a lot of esplainin' to do! #TransformationTuesday @BobbyDeen," the cooking star tweeted, mimicking the accent of Ricky Ricardo, Lucy's Cuban husband.

The 68-year-old celebrity chef immediately received a lot of backlash from the post, Page Six notes.

Deen and her son dressed like Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz from the famous sitcom "I Love Lucy." Bobby darkened his skin to look like Lucy's husband.

The photo appears to be a special from Deen's Halloween show back in 2011. The former Food Network star was fired from the station after she admitted to using the N-word in 2013.

Her reputation was tarnished after that, and she has been working to rebuild it. It was reported in February she is starting a new weekly podcast show following her racial slur scandal.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Deen launched the podcast titled "Get Cooking With Paula Deen" in May. Back in September, she launched her own online network called Paula Deen Network after being booted off of the Food Network.

Deen also started another podcast called "What's Cooking With Paula Deen" in an attempt to have her recipes put back on airwaves.

She partnered with Compass Media Networks for the new radio shows that were officially launched on May 1.

"Get Cooking with Paula Deen will be a one minute daily tip to help you in both the kitchen and life. What's Cooking with Paula Deen will be a live thirty minute weekly show with myself and my Creative Director Brandon Branch," the celebrity chef said in a statement. "And one thing is for sure the two of us together can cook up a mess of fun! Can't wait to be back in your homes daily and weekly!"

Deen has not commented on her "brown face" post as of yet. Seems like she has got "a lot of esplainin' to do!"
