Oct 7, 2008 - Don't mess with Baba Wawa. Star tried to ambush Baba and Baba made Star go bye-bye. All references to Jones have been removed from the View site. It's like she never even exsisted. She's sitting here on Larry King Live lying and saving face, trying to take the high road but it's too late. She'll be a footnote in media history until her husband is outed by the tabloids. LOL

Oct 7, 2008 - Star told the TRUTH! Why is Barbara upset about that? Star should be lucky. The show is going down hill anyway without Meredith. Now, Star gone, too. That's too many new faces. They should have waited until next year to change the line up. Star and Rosie could have mixed it up good. Barbara Walters is no professional. She said that we wanted Star to go the way she wanted to leave but when Star told the truth, she couldn't handle it. Star was FIRED. Big Deal! Why cover that up?

Oct 7, 2008 - I thought Barbara handled the announcement with class and grace, though I know that it was probably very difficult for her to do so since Star's outlandish accusations. Did anyone notice that the audience was VERY quiet? You probably could have heard a pin drop and I'm certain that reasonable, rational folk will know what some of us have known for a long time -- Star Jones Reynolds is an opportunistic harpy who got what was coming to her!

Oct 7, 2008 - Barbara and ABC told Star to say WHATEVER she wanted to - and that they would back her up. They said it was even ok if she LIED to the public. But Star chose to tell the truth...yet Barbara and ABC isn't backing her up. Very interesting.
RyJ Says:
Oct 7, 2008 - You can speak for yourself, even if you would like to see yourself as rational in the comments you just made. However, the only things that Star has stated were actual facts. She chose to tell the truth, after Barbara said it would be ok to lie about it.
RyJ Says:
Oct 7, 2008 - Yup, The View helped Star...just like she helped The View. (that one sentence had just as much info as your comment, minus all the crude insults you made)
voyage2k Says:
Oct 7, 2008 - You just proved you're neither reasonable nor rational. Or are you just some angry black sistah who doesn't like seeing Miss Star get what's coming to her?
RyJ Says:
Oct 7, 2008 - How did I prove myself neither reasonable nor rational? lol, the difference between you and I, is that I am actually providing explainations with my comments. And since you have decided to be racist in your comment, you're showing how you are contradictory...yet AGAIN. Reasonable and rational people don't throw crude insults, as you have done in both of your comments. BTW, I'm white :)

Oct 7, 2008 - I'm so sick of the way that black people think that every time a white person makes a negative comment about a black person, then that white person is "racist".And I'm sick of the way that the black community feels the need to defend EVERY black public figure who lands themselves in some kind of public feud or dilemma.

Oct 7, 2008 - The View is so stupid, I'm glad all the originals are leaving because now that show will finally do what it should have done ten years ago...disappear.
