She's been a rude caricature of herself for a long time now.

Here's a 2010 comment from someone writing about her over on the Food Network site:

It’s almost like she’s gotten so over the top that she feels like she needs to top herself. She’s no longer teaching people how to prepare Southern food, rather she’s trying to draw attention to herself with ridiculousness.
