Star Jones Reynolds
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Prior to joining the cast of The View she was a correspondent and the chief legal analyst on Inside Edition, where she covered the O. J. Simpson murder trial and was the only one to interview him during his civil trial.
Jones wrote a book called "You have to stand for something or you'll fall for anything."
In June 2003 Jones was sued by a landscaping company, which alleged she had agreed to ensure that the firm would receive credit for their work on a rooftop garden for her Upper East Side penthouse duplex in a quid pro quo exchange. The work was done in advance of an article about her home in the October 2003 issue of Architectural Digest. The Smoking Gun website reported on the suit, and including a copy of a letter she signed which agreed to the deal.
Star Jones married banker Al Reynolds in November of 2004.
Jones has often been the target of American tabloids and gossip shows. Jones brought a huge amount of attention to her extravagant marriage to Reynolds and the marriage became the target of many jokes by late night comedians. Jones has said repeatedly that the tabloids don't bother her as long as she "gets [her] paycheck at the end of the week."
Conan O'Brien has been particularly cruel to Jones; even after her dramatic weight loss (of which Jones has said very little), O'Brien has continued to target Jones and her weight, on a weekly basis. O'Brien even took a crack at Jones the night that fellow co-host Joy Behar was a guest on his show.
