As everybody must know by now, Star Jones left ABC’s “The View” on June 26. She announced her departure on the show BEFORE the PTB (Powers That Be) had given her permission, and it certainly wasn’t in that day’s script. She caused Barbara Walters to be publicly embarrassed (a cardinal sin), who herself then made things worse by attempting a cover up by lying to the press. What a mess!
Star has made clear that she feels used and abused. Which is fine, just don’t expect to ever work again.
ABC has stated that they didn’t renew her contract because of her “highly publicized wedding” and because of “her extreme weight loss”.
Tom O’Neil, senior editor at In Touch Weekly, says “If she taps what made her successful before, she can become successful again.”
What? Get married again and put the weight back on?
He also says that CNN and Fox News Channel have approached her with offers, but both networks officially deny that they’ve had any contact with her whatsoever.
Here’s wishing Star good luck in her future endeavors. A lawyer, she’s finding out that Showbiz has its own Constitution (unwritten), and she may actually have to go back to lawyering (but keep the showbiz out of the courtroom, leave that to the judge.)
Meanwhile, In Touch shows itself to be not in touch. Perhaps they need to get a new life too.
