Star Jones has decided to let it out about how she feels she was treated by her former co-hosts on The View. Star abruptly left the show in 2006, surprising even Barbara Walters with her announcement. Jones has previously said she felt betrayed by Walters, but her words now are about all the women she worked with on the show.
Star Jones is speaking out about how she was treated during her departure from The View in 2006.
“Those girls were hateful,” Jones says of her former co-hosts.
[From People.com]
In a hateful little statement of her own, when asked about her former husband, Al Reynolds’ YouTube videos telling the world that he is still in love with her, all Ms. Jones had to say was “I’m not in love with him.”
She says she’s ready to be in love, though. Star was recently seen kissing chef Herb Wilson in the stands at the U.S. Open so we may be able to look forward to another lavish, corporate sponsored wedding in the future. It really was an ingenious plan. Maybe not too classy, but commercially ingenious.
In a new interview in the November issue of Essence magazine, Jones also opens up about “falling into a depression” after losing her self-titled Court TV show last year; her ongoing dispute with Barbara Walters (“Barbara set me up”); and her divorce from Al Reynolds, which was finalized in September.
[From People.com]
While I wouldn’t wish depression on anyone, Star Jones just doesn’t recognize that she’s not a beloved or trusted personality. To fall into a depression after her most recent stab at television was cancelled means that she honestly thought people wanted to listen to her in the first place and was disappointed they didn’t. People don’t forget when you lie and take them for fools and Star blatantly told her core audience on The View that she lost over 160 pounds by exercising and eating right, insinuating she was better than the gastric surgery she was speculated to have had. She then thought everyone would respect and empathize with her when she admitted to the surgery. The course of her career since then shows that people didn’t do either. Jones is in talks again to return to unscripted TV, so she still hasn’t gotten the point.

For me, she destroyed her credibility with her over-the-top behavior regarding her wedding to Al Reynolds. She was so diva-like in her demands for free items, so cock-sure about their marriage, their love, how “no way could it ever fail” and look where we are, just a few years later.
I do feel sorry for her, but she made this bed herself. Barbara and the girls may have fluffed her pillow, but Star made the bed.

I guess I only feel sorry for her in the way of her being too stupid to realize she is evidently her own worst enemy. I did think it was a mistake the way she carried on about her idyllic relationship if it should happen that they split up. I hope this doesn’t make me ”hateful” lololol. But seriously, Star should listen, she IS her own worst enemy. Scripted, unscripted, doesn’t matter, I put no weight to anything she thinks or says other than her own opinions. I really liked her when she first came in to the public eye, but SHE has punctured her own image, for me.

Best job she’ll ever have or deserve and she f*cked it up all on her own hubris.
-
Her ego has been out of control for years. Lying about the gastric was the final straw. I, also, wouldn’t wish depression on anyone but if thats what it takes for reality and Ms. Jones to meet, so be it.
-
Stars’ basic problem is this: she really believes she is IMPORTANT and she is SO NOT important in any way. Period. She is one of those self promoters whose motives always leave a stink.She also has NO CLASS whatsoever..the kind money can’t buy and she and her fat friend OPRAH can’t obtain. EVER.
-
Did her depression lead to that self fondling in the header pic? Star Jones is a sad individual.
-
Those women/beasts on the view are horrid. That pig Joy Baher, I’d love for her to be dosed with some LSD and then have that televised. She thinks she is so smart and she is an idiot. Baba Wawa…wtf is she even saying, isn’t there a crypt somewhere with her name on it? And the others, they don’t even exist in my reality.
Give Star some credit and put yourself in her shoes. She used to be so fat that she got winded from just talking and she lost a lot of weight (regardless of how….myself, I’d blurt out the truth, but she IS a lawyer!!!) and she probably felt good for the first time ever in her life. And yes, I do think people who are that overwieght DO feel like crap no matter what they say. So, I’ll cut the girl some slack. But the things from The View….I abhor them. (Meredith was hot though and smart enough to leave) And are any of the people on the telly important?
-
I gotta agree with you, Cara, the women on The View are horrendous, pretty much overall!!! I have never watched the show, I have seen Star everywhere BUT on the View cause I couldn’t stand the coffee-klatsch nonsense and the arrogance of the presumption that the show MATTERS lololololol. And yes, as an overweight person who has lost 90 pounds so far, yeah, heavy people DO feel like crap. I had decided if I hit 300 pounds, I’d get gastric bypass even though I’m dead set against. That was 90 lbs. ago.
-
Ummmm…. Julie?
How do you know all the women on The View are horrendous if you’ve never watched it?
Congrats on the 90 lbs, though. That’s not easy and it takes guts to say it on here where people can anonymously bash you for what you were. I think it’s an awesome achievement!
-
Wait, did she divorce the guy that she had a big huge frou frou wedding to?
-
What kind of bra or undergarment is she wearing to hold those floppy old titties in? It looks like a shelf.

Watched ‘The View” once. Realized after looking at these clucking hens why TV is called “the idiot box”. How has this show stayed on for so long? All I hear about happening on it is someone arguing about something with someone. That’s why I like to watch wrestling. At least when they argue, they fight it out and settle it once and for all. Maybe we should let the ladies of The View box or wrestle over their issues!!! I’d watch it then!!
-
Ya Know, Truth be told—-so many people are jealous and quite intimidated by Star Jones’ level of intelligence and wit. I cant help but guess—she is judged as such— due to her “dark skin” and much less unduly absence of any form of a zealous or pleasant personality—which tends to appeal to the masses across racial lines.
-
Looks like she’s putting on weight again. The chef must be feeding her well.
-
Fair question!! I have seen enough clips, and maybe flipped it on once or twice, lololol, and honestly could not stand the ”vibes” I got from whoever was in the group at that moment of just ”WE ARE speaking for all women!”. Uggghhh nooo you are not, you privileged ladies who lunch lololol.
It was always my impression from the beginning that Star DOES have a keen mind but I never have seen her put into action for anything outside of herself.
And thank you so much for the encouragement on my weight loss! Yes, I hate to admit I weighed a lot more when I’m not skinny now, lololol, but I am so glad I proved that even I, laziness personified, can lose weight the best way of all, less food, more action — blech!!!!
Oh yes, I also want to say that I LIKED STAR!!!! I did, I was so pleased to have a smart, not-cast-from-a-mold woman on a show that a lot of people DO watch. I admired her, and wanted her to do so well, and I feel like she made a fool of me! Waaaaa lololol, guess that’s behind my disillusionment, she let me down!

The author is so right that Star totally destroyed her own credibility with her ”I didn’t have surgery” BS. I believe everyone, even celebrities, have a right to privacy, absolutely, but either tell a lie and stick to it, or don’t lie. You can’t do both, and expect people to take you seriously. And the huckstering she did for her wedding, to begin with, was so crass and materialistic that her credibility shot down to negatives right there. I have zero interest in what Star thinks about anything of an important nature, and I doubt there’s a whole lot of people who ARE interested.
