yeah, it's like Barbara was saying "we gave her a chance to leave with dignity on our terms, but she left on her terms, so fuck her, and fuck her dignity, here's what went down, we fired the bitch, and now we fired her early for talking about it"
They even kept her out of summer repeats during the month long summer break. They only played shows where she was not there & even had her excluded from the open
I don't blame her for doing this. She was getting sacked and decided to do leave on her own terms. I'd be pissed too if I was getting fired after doing a good job for all those years.
Who cares. Glad she's gone after her anti-gay 'Christian' comments. Not surprising she left the way she did either. Says sooo much about her and her 'beliefs'..
@Fernando's Drum FAR from it. She tried to and embarrassed herself. Barbara's speech the next day was perfect. Star is too in love with herself, she went to far with her "free wedding gift" begging on the show.
Barbara really showed her true colours here. So vicious and determined to get the upper hand, when it was so unnecessary and harsh. Star Jone's exit speech was actually quite classy and eloquent. Should have left it alone.
Agreed, m'man. I actually do like Walters and have no opinion on Jones, yet the way the show handled this was far from honorable. Completely without class ... kind of like how Freddy Medina is without spellcheck, and it makes him look stupid.
I watched Star's announcement and thought she did it with amazing dignity and grace. The things she said were beautiful and uplifting. These comments from Walters were meant for no purpose other than to undermine Star.
“We wanted to protect her and to let her say whatever she wanted about leaving - until she did - and then we told the entire world we fired her the next day.”
I think Barbara and the show wanted to control Starr's exit only because they didn't want her FIRING to hurt the show's reputation or ratings. Barbara just repeated Starr's words. They couldn't have cared about Starr's feeling, the woman was already FIRED.
Really Barbara? That was not really professional of you. She should know better being in the business for so long. The shade you threw was unreal Ms. Walters! They should have let Star have her moment since that was how she wanted to leave the show. I think it was more about them letting her go because she lied about the gastric bypass surgery. And "protect" Star? Really...that was rude. I can see why Barbara was upset because there we only three of them at the table but still some things a woman should not do to another woman. That was pety of her. #awkward
I think it was "the show is going in another direction" that was hurtful to the show and they had to clap back. It was intense what Barbara said about Star and hard to watch but she wasn't wrong in my opinion.
I think its was more unprofessional of barbara walters if it was already said that she wouldnt renew her contract and barbara knew idk why her saying goodbye was such a shock....she went out gracefully
Star Jones I cried that day when you left the show because you were one of the amazing cohost of the view you made the view a better show and I miss you on the view and you need to visit more often and I feel bad for our other friends because they don’t have you anymore but please visit of you more often because this made me so emotional and sad
Currently reading "Ladies Who Punch"-----and I HAD to come here and see the actual clip. Star was SEAMLESS in her delivery. Call it what you want...but from Barbara's follow up--- undermining Star in every way (and acting shocked the day before, which says more about her, possibly)....Star seems to have done what she needed to do. Check out the book when you get a chance. The Star chapters are amazing. Telling, but amazing.
They couldn't just let Star leave with dignity? How were they trying to protect her when they put her on blast like that after saying she could say whatever she wanted about her leaving?
Okay I'm confused . Barbara said they told star she could say whatever she wanted about why she was leaving but because she made the statement without warning , everything changed? Did it really make a difference? Someone fill me in if I misunderstood .
+puremusicluveer I guess they wanted her say this at the end of the season before they went on break. They did not want her speaking to the press or anyone before that time and she did. Either way they screwed her over...
First they say they're shocked, then they say that she could've said whatever she wanted on why she was leaving. Does that mean they truly knew that Star was leaving? So overall, they lied that they were shocked and so the next day after she'd gone, they admitted that they knew she was leaving
@@jmusmc85 Apparently she said she was going to stay until end of July (she was supposed to announce it on Thursday June 29 but did so on Tuesday June 27) at one time but then she must’ve been pushed out. Once they went into summer reruns on Monday August 7, 2006 they removed her from the open and focused more on replaying shows she wasn’t there for.
Craiglrish, I applaud your unbiased views on this matter. Star got them before they could get her. She took the high road and her exit speech was very eloquent and well stated. In the end, Star came out on top..she has rebounded and has a wonderful show on COURT TV. Please check your local listing for the time in your area.
What the people posting here do not realize is that Star Jones WAS fired by ABC for her endorsements and getting greedy with free wedding gifts. After this "graceful" announcement that SHE'S quitting, she trashed the show all over the media for the rest of the day. That's why Barbara made this speed you see in the video.
Basically what happened was that the network gave Star the opportunity to say that she was leaving voluntarily, therefore protecting her from having to say she was fired, and the network would have gone along with whatever she said. She was meant to make her announcement two days later, with everything planned, but she did was announce early that she had been fired, and she made several announcements in other places of her firing as well. This made things very difficult for the network as it put them in a very bad light, which is why Barbara had to make a seemingly harsh speech to put the record straight.
She beat them to the punch.The next day Barbara said: You will see Star in segment taped before her exit .ABC was SO mad,they NEVER aired ANYTHING that featured Star.They must have spent $$$$$ to retape segments that showed her. She CAME crawling back to them.
Absolutely spot on. It's my opinion as well that Barbara overreacted because Barbara does not do surprises. At least, not surprises she can *control*. Obviously she was irked beyond belief that Star would make her announcement on what amounted to "the wrong day"-- thus came Star's immediate dismissal. Sad, really. But clearly, the message was sent to ALL the View ladies from that moment on-- If you step on Momma's toes-- retribution will be swift.
it's a very classy exit. it's clear she was being fired and wanted to leave on her own terms rather than say that she was resigning or leaving to pursue other opportunities, etc.
They even kept her out when it came time for summer break. They only played shows in which she wasn't there & also kept her out of the opening credits.
This is classic. Jones' contract for the following year wasn't renewed by Walters then in revenge Jones surprised the viewing audience and said she was voluntarily stepping down after much soul searching. So disingenuous of her and a good acting job. ------------------------------- From NY Times article: In early 2006, Ms. Jones was told her contract would not be renewed. Wounded, a defiant Ms. Jones surprised the audience and crew in June, saying on air that she would not be back in the fall. She reached out to hold the hands of a visibly shaken Ms. Behar and Ms. Walters, who shifted uncomfortably. “I’m not sure what the future holds, but I’m absolutely sure who holds the future,” Ms. Jones said. The next day, Ms. Walters, Ms. Behar and Ms. Hasselbeck walked onstage alone. “And then there were three,” Ms. Walters said.
Barbara Walters was pissed because Starr left on HER terms. Starr’s exit was graceful. I love Joy Behar, but she her “being shocked” was over-the-top, to say the least 🤣
They basically fired her twice by not allowing her to finish out the season. The dignity she had, was the dignity she took. She could have said a lot more when she made her announcement, but instead she took the high road and thanked everyone, including that evil troll of a witch sitting to her right. I don't like Star much more than I like Barbara, but out of the two, Star was the one who behaved with class.
She was told in April soon after Meredith announced her departure that she wouldn't receive a contract renewal. She was going to announce it on Thursday that week to depart in mid-July but she announced it on Tuesday and departed immediately (except for as Barbra said: anything that may be showing on tape). When they went into summer repeats from August 7--September 4 they only played shows in which she was not there and removed her from the opening credits.
Leave with dignity?! That's exactly what she did by taking things out of your wrinkled old hands and making her announcement when SHE wanted to, not when you wanted her to. Still til this day, on the very rare occasion that I watch The View, I refuse to watch it when Barbara is on. My own mother could be on that raggedy show, and I'd still pass!
I thought Star Jones did leave with dignity. She said extremely nice things about her costars and the network. If anything, they were rude to her, not the other way around. Barbara said that the network wasn't going to announce that they had made a decision not to renew Star's contract, but then she blabbed about it anyway. I don't blame Star in the least for leaving. I would have left, too.
Star Jones was eloquent and full of class and dignity. She took the upper hand when she was being run over by a bus. Constant rumours about her departure and she decided to just say “I’m leaving”… this spoke enormous volumes about who to trust. I would trust Star and I would never have trusted Barbara Walters. Thankfully Barbara left television 10 years ago and subsequently passed away. They all hail Barbara as some kind of trailblazer I only see her as someone who was initially bullied in the industry who fought her way through and then indeed became the bully herself.
Yeah I don't see how everyone is or was upset with Barbra. Not like she bashed her or anything. She just told the audience and viewers what actually happened, may not have been appropriate, but she didn't bash her or slam her. I don't think so anyway.
She didn't need to go into such specifics. It's really not for us to know. That's between her and the producers/ABC so it was kind of unprofessional on her part to be going into this on television. It's not so much what she said per say, but how she chose to do it. They were pissed at Star for surprising everyone the way she did. For some reason, Barbara was really pissed at that and this was the result of that.
Barbra really didn't need to say all that..it makes the whole show look really bad..if you say you will let her leave and say whatever she wanted..don't go and say she was going to be taken off the show anyway.
So wait, they told Star that she could say what she wanted when she exited the show, but then Star did so and then Barbara turned around and thew Star under the bus???
She really one upped Barbara, and Barbara thinking she's hurting Star is only exposing herself to her fans that she's really a vindictive person. I never liked her, and that was before I knew this even existed. Thank God for the internet so people can remember her for who she really is.
Barbara did the wrong thing. She said that Star could say whatever she wanted about why she was leaving and that they would back her up, but barbara announcing on the air that she would have been fired anyway, is not backing her up....
Star, who, I'm no fan of, handled that with impressive poise, elegance and class. Barbara threw Star under the bus and revealed too much. She had no reason to make that speech the next day. That was disgusting, She should be ashamed of herself.
This was classess on Barbara's part. She she should be ashamed of trying to make her look bad. I do believe ABC didnt want to renew her contract but for her to call her to put her on blast like that was absolutely shameful. #smh
Regardless of how Barbara handled being caught off-guard, it *IS* her show and she can do with it what she likes. Star's a brilliant woman who should have known you just don't burn professional bridges-- particularly if you're in the public eye. Her momentary satisfaction at being able to make the announcement at the time of her choice backfired into a spectacular career suicide move of monumental proportions. A tragic waste, really... she let her ego get in the way of good judgement.
You must not bite your boss. Loyalty is very important. Star Jones darely attacked the boss. It could be seen as betrayal. Star Jones should have hidden her emtion. It was not worth it. Once she lost the podium, no way of fighting back. End of her career.
Star Jones did leave with her dignity. She left on her own terms.
yeah, it's like Barbara was saying "we gave her a chance to leave with dignity on our terms, but she left on her terms, so fuck her, and fuck her dignity, here's what went down, we fired the bitch, and now we fired her early for talking about it"
They even kept her out of summer repeats during the month long summer break. They only played shows where she was not there & even had her excluded from the open
I don't blame her for doing this. She was getting sacked and decided to do leave on her own terms. I'd be pissed too if I was getting fired after doing a good job for all those years.
Just learning now that Joy and Barbara were leaking private health information of Star's to the NYT for money. classy
Who cares. Glad she's gone after her anti-gay 'Christian' comments. Not surprising she left the way she did either. Says sooo much about her and her 'beliefs'..

Star beat them at their own game.
She left on her terms and blind-sided Barbara! Love it haha

You are so right on point my dear.
BW was full of shit
They informed her they’d be letting her go right around the time Meredith resigned.
Too late for next day announcements. Star gut punched the hell out of them.
Joy had the same hair style for like 50 years. Lmaooo
And the same black pants too. lol
Valkyrie she was beautiful when she was young
😂
I think Star Jones left with dignity, and Barbara Walters made a big deal out of it.
Barbara guuurl? If you were gonna let Star leave with dignity then let her do so. What's with this announcment?
I think Barbara and the show wanted to control Starr's exit only because they didn't want her FIRING to hurt the show's reputation or ratings. Barbara just repeated Starr's words. They couldn't have cared about Starr's feeling, the woman was already FIRED.

Looks like they filmed the clip on the same day as all three outfits on the laides look the same as the day before.
Lol Makael brought me here too. The shade is all in Barbra 's head lean. like "Really, Now Star, now?''
Makael brought me here too for this beautiful shade!
Black women are forever being demonized ! She was nothing but graceful! She wrote her own story and thats what pissed her off.
I am surprized Star Jones didn't give the standard, "I want to spend more time with my family."
She doesn’t have kids. She was “pushed out”. She was going to leave later but she left earlier.
The network didn't make the decision - Barbara did!
So why did she need to tell us this... it was unnecessary for them to share this.
I don't care what anyone says about Star Jones,but 'WHAT A CLASS ACT" she was the way she left this show
Barbara Walters playing the game of keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
barbara's grin right before the commercial had a hint of a smirk don't you think?
