Celebrity Feuds
Star Slaps Back -- No, You Did NOT Pay Me!

UPDATE: TMZ spoke to Star's manager who laid it out for us, on the record. According to her manager, this was a straightforward business agreement for Star to speak at the Health and Beauty Expo -- nothing more. The contract was breached, so Star did not appear. Had Star known she would be speaking for charity, her fee would have been substantially reduced or eliminated and she would have been there to speak.

Star Jones is giving the big girls she allegedly dissed in Detroit a big fat you-know-what, saying that they were the ones who breached the contract, not her. And yesterday, on her Court TV show, she called allegations that she bailed out of her appearance "a nasty shakedown."


In a lengthy dossier including her own blow-by-blow of what went down with Full and Fabulous, Star says that though she got $10,000 from the group before her scheduled performance, she never got $15K more that she was owed. What's more, Star claims that she didn't get "the level" hotel that she requested when she went to stay in Detroit, nor was any ground transportation provided.

Star says that she and husband Al Reynolds paid for their Super Bowl weekend "at our own expense" and that she's still never received any loot for the appearance.

61. Fact the appearance did not work out,
Star should give back any money received at all, she did not appear,
and they should go away and let it be.

62. i'm from the detroit area. i watched the local newscast, star's response on Court TV and checked her website. she never addressed the fact that the organization was awarded $20,000 in small claims court against her. she never even showed up to defend herself. i lost all respect for her back when she abused her View status to get freebies for her wedding. this latest just reaffirms my belief. she needs to act like the christian she "claims" to be.
and yes slomoe i am fat AND white!!!

63. It's called KARMA.. STAR... YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID WAS WRONG and now you are trying to spin it off on contracts. That's all fine and dandy. Go on... keep telling yourself you are in the right! THE PUBLIC NOW KNOWS (AGAIN) WHAT A DISGRACE YOU ARE!!! Even IF the contract said you could keep the money... THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT WAS MORALLY RIGHT!!! How do you sleep at night knowing you scammed sponsor's to PAY FOR YOUR WEDDING?? AND NOW THAT YOU HAVE TAKEN MONEY FROM GIRLS THAT WANTED TO LOOK UP TO YOU!!! Well I guess you have shown your true colors ONCE AGAIN! KARMA IS A BITCH.... AND SO ARE YOU!!!!

64. While she was in Detroit, she took time to appear at a book signing to sell her book and make even more money for herself. So, not only did she screw those poor girls out of the money they worked very hard to earn, but then she used it to promote herself at a different event. She even used the plane tickets provided by the organization she stiffed to get to Detroit in the first place. I hope people finally see her for what she is.........a useless, no good, lying, cheating B*I*O*T*C*H!!! Don't ever come back to the Motor City you skank! we have enough problems here, and we don't need your kind!!!

65. Who is Star Jones? If I did something like this, it would be called theft and fraud. Another greedy Hollywood freak!

67. I am SO tired of this self-important beyotch and her big fat mouth. And the amount of melatonin in her skin has NOTHING to do with this. If she was a white woman making the same amount of noise, I'd still think she's a self-important beyotch!

68. I didn't see where Missy Star gave back any of the $10,000.....DId she ? And we are suppose to believe she and her other half paid for anything.....She has always been a liar and will alwyas be just that. Just how she even gets anykind of show amazes me. She is boring.....................Hard to look at...............and just plain unattractive..................
Why dosen't she just disappear ? I assure you no one will even notice........

69. Slomoe... shouldn't you be watching the fryers or something

Star is a RipOff artist... her charity cases consist of her being A charity case.

72. I am not on either sides. I saw a couple times of her on formerly The View". She was pretty strong come on that show at times in the past. I don't have any proof from the both sides of a Charity Organization and Star Jones. To me, with my hypotheical theory, if a Charity Organization and a celebrity who is to be supportive of the organization, working together then it would not be here. In this case, It looks like to me, both sides are fighting over something that they both don't agree on, and disliking between them for some reasons. We will know more along, if ever it comes to. It is hard to know the true facts right now without an envidence who is saying something true or not?.

73. I think SLOMOE is really Star in disguise! In case you haven't noticed slomoe, you are the ONLY one on here in support of Star. Let me guess, you're black and think everything comes down to black vs. white, right??? it's people like YOU who give black people a bad name in the first place. Well, people like you AND Star Jones who give black people a bad name. I can't speak for anyone else, but if Jennifer Aniston or Penelope Cruz had screwed under-priviledged girls out of money, I'd be calling them out on it also, even tho one is white and one hispanic. So, you see, it has nothing to do with color. It has everything to do with the difference between right and wrong. Sounds to me like YOU are the one who is racist....

75. The radio station I listen to put her on blast yesterday. Micheal Baisden, I think his hometown is detroit, from what I gather,,they gave her the money, which now from reading this it was 10,000, I guess the way Star had the contract written,,she is a lawyer,,if they did not come up with the other 20,000, she could keep the 10,000 and the airfare and hotel,,,,he told her so what Star, what is right is right,,give the money back cuz this was for little girls...
see this how she tries to live the lifestyle of the rich and famous,,she was on blast yesterday, everybody said give the money back, heck I didn't realize until yesterday she received some of speaking fee,,
I just thought she used the airfare and hotel...which I thought was wrong, but to learn she also kept 10,000...give it back Star...
