Martha Stewart has shown sympathy for disgraced celebrity chef Paula Deen. And now Chef Roblé is doing the same.

On last night's episode of Watch What Happens Live, the Chef Roblé and Co. star shared his thoughts on Deen, who has fallen from grace (and lost her job on the Food Network) for admitting in a court deposition that she had used the N word.

"I feel that it is a very unfortunate situation," Roblé says. "I saw her apology video. I accept her apology."

Roblé didn't stop there—he admitted he would "give her a hug" if the two ever met. "I feel sorry for the lady," he adds. "What would Jesus do? I'm not even a Christian. But, like, people are still hating on her! She said sorry! So leave the lady alone. Leave her alone!"

Do you think Paula Deen's apology was sincere? Do you forgive her, too? Tell us know the comments and watch Roble on WWHL below:
