BALDWIN: We're near the bottom of the hour. You're watching CNN. I'm Brooke Baldwin. Extortion and character assassination, that's what Paula Deen's sons are calling these accusations flying against their mother here in the fallout over her admission that she used the N-word in her past. Today, they spoke exclusively on CNN's "NEW DAY." Here they were.</s>JAMIE DEEN, PAULA DEEN'S SON: My mother would never teach Bobby and I anything other -- we're obviously a product of our environment. We care very much about our community. I'm raising two boys right now. This is ridiculous. It's completely absurd to think that there is an environment of racism in our business. It's really disrespectful to the people we work with. We have strong educated men and women of character that have been with us for five, 10, 15, 20 years. To think they would allow themselves to be in this position is simply bologna. It's ridiculous. Bobby and I are here today not to stem the tide for endorsements or any of those things. We're here to speak out for our mother's character and to say that our mother is a -- truly wonderful people that is inclusive of all people, and spends a lot of her time and energies to help those people that are challenged. Twenty-five years ago, when we started our business, we had nothing, and now we've -- given the opportunity to help nonprofits across this whole country, and it means a tremendous amount to us.
