Star Jones Responds To Nene Leakes' Attack

Star Jones has broken her silence in response to "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Nene Leakes' recent attack against her.

The two television personalities recently clashed while filming "Celebrity Apprentice," leading Leakes to tell Wendy Williams last week, "I wouldn't spit on Star if she was on fire."

Jones broke her silence exclusively to Life & Style, telling the magazine:

"I did Celebrity Apprentice to raise money and awareness for a charity [the American Heart Association] that has been instrumental in my life, not to see it reduced to a cliché where black women attack one another for publicity's sake...I haven't commented on any of her comments in hopes that she would remember that we all participated in this show for charity and not as a vehicle to promote ourselves and such hatred. I was clearly wrong and I decided to finally respond."

Nene Leakes is a disgrace and a despicable person. I feel really sorry for anyone who have had to actually deal with her. What is she good at anyway besides being a loud mouthed uncouth simpleton.

Both of them should go away, they abused their 15 minutes.

Nene's ignorance thrives on disturbing the peace. She can do nothing else in life but create havoc wherever she goes. No talent water foul....

Star is an intelligent woman but intelligence doesn't stave off idiocy, I'm sorry when she takes the "low road".

Poor Star. The public still hasn't warmed up to her since her marriage as she vented her imprealistic demands to those she expected to cow tow to her damands of free gifts from stores and shops. When she lost all that weight, it didn't seem to matter.

Classy Star. I love your response.

NeNe is an amusing reality TV star... a throw down between those two would probably be pretty entertaining, because I'm sure NeNe has a bunch of jokes ready for Star

Both of these people have ridiculous names. That is all.

I'm not the biggest fan of Star Jones, but I'm in her corner for now..NeNe is just a loudmouth bully.

That's not her hair. I hate weaves.

Then you must hate half of all (B&W) actresses / singers & models.

Practically all of them wear weaves and/or wigs.

Sorry.

I agree. And, as a Black woman, it's pathetic. Too many of us wear other people's hair ALL the time.

Star, you had best be careful, Nene will stomp your grapes.

Nene get your act together and stop embarrassing the Black females.Star you could sit and reflect awhile too.

I can't watch those Housewives. They're so catty. Plus Nene's lazy eye is distracting.

Both these women are too full of themselves.

Is that really all they're full of?

I can't wait to see this hot mess develop on TeeVee.

Donald Trump is no fool....that's exactly why these 2 are on his showing doing exactly what he wants....generate publicity. Of the 3 of them, he at least has the best hair

Star Jones= former prosecutor in the Brooklyn D.A.'s office
NeNe Leakes= former stripper and confrontational celebrity housewife who has banished her husband to the cellar of their Atlanta home

Lawyer versus stripper.

Star Jones = knowingly marries openly g_ _ man.
Star Jones = hustles vendors for wedding gifts, services, etc.
Star Jones = head gets so big until she loses well-paying, TV gig
Star Jones = bites the hand that fed her.

Yeah, we see ya Star!

let's not forget, have gastric bypass and lies about it.

Exactly. I'm no fan of Nene but she knows why she's there. To do this...be drama.

Star thinks she's above it all. Accomplishments have nothing to do with behavior. Star has behaved badly in the past so her trying to be above it all is laughable.
