That happened with Martha Stewart, too. But she reinvented herself after doing her time and is probably making more money than ever. If the media can make money off her again, they will. America has a short memory and many politicians and celebrities cash in on that short memory. (Anthony Weiner is using that short memory to his advantage right now.)

Food Network's competitors are probably salivating to make her a new deal. All this media coverage and "unfolding drama" are making her far better known to all the audiences who didn't know her before.
