Star Jones and Al Reynolds To Sue 'The National Enquirer'

Former View cohost Star Jones and her husband Al Reynolds are suing The National Enquirer, a rep for the couple confirms to Us.
The legal action is in response to an article published in the tabloid's October 2, 2006 issue titled "Star Jones' Husband Walks Out!" The couple's attorney, Bob Chapman, sent a demand letter to The Enquirer, stating that the article is "false and defamatory" and has done "grave damage to their reputations, both publicly and privately."
The letter continues, "You have also chosen to state that Mr. Reynolds is gay. While Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds believe that everyone should be free to make their own choice concerning sexual preference and that there is nothing wrong with being gay, you have nonetheless chosen to falsely state that Mr. Reynolds is gay."
A rep for the couple told Us: "Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds have tried to handle these vicious lies and attempts at character assassination with quiet dignity for far too long...Now they will pursue immediate legal action against anyone who makes false statements about their family."
Last month, the tabloid reported that Jones, 44, has been “slashing costs drastically” and “pressuring her husband to make more money” since being unceremoniously axed from the ABC morning talk show last June.
In March 2006, The Enquirer broke the story that Jones suffered severe blood loss and nearly died due to complications from a breast lift operation, as her husband suffered his own head injury from an accident at a NYC gym the same day. Jones’ rep later confirmed the story to be true.
A month prior, the tabloid reported that the couple was on the rocks and suggested that rumors about Reynolds' sexual orientation were to blame.

Star's face looked prettier when she was heavier because the fat in the face fills in many wrinkles, plus any sagging skin on the face is being protruded by the fat. The weight loss was needed for health reasons. I was never a major fan of Star when she was heavier because I found her to be very arrogant and pompous. Now that she lost the weight, she does'nt seem that way anymore and I like her better.

First off, Starr Jones is a successful black woman. Now you all can say that she was wrong for having someone sponsor her wedding. But lets keep it real please, who wants to come out the pocket for all that. She did earn the right for people in the industry to cater to her. That is what being a celebrity is all about. She deserves her props. And for the record if her husband is gay that is there business."Their Marriage". What if this woman reads these comments every night before she went to sleep. Would what you are saying affect even the toughest ego. Give the woman a break. What is so wrong with being proud of yourself and who you are and what you accomplished? I think we should applaud her for having a surgery she was concerned about her health. We ain't perfect and neither is she. She is human. Making her American Dream come true and if sponsors want to pay to make that happen, please by all means. Wouldn't you let them? If you say no your a damn liar. So please don't throw rocks at glass houses for all you real humans out there. Starr you keep going girl! God Bless!

I think that she looked better when she was bigger.I think all that surgery she had done cannot be all that good for her, whether she got skinner or not. I know that she had to lose it for health reasons, but I think she went too far. As for her husband being gay I don't know anything about that. I only hope it is not true. Everybody deserves to be happy whether we like them or not.

When I first knew Starr she was so interesting and obviously had a good grip on legal matters. She was classy, smart and logical. Suddenly she slammed white people every opportunity. Her wedding was enough to feed a large army of needy people. Her bragging about expensive shoes.......Where did you go Starr???? Please lose no more weight also. You are lucky to be beautiful as a large woman. You were in a position to influence black women, heavy women and us middle class women. We needed you!

I really feel sad for Starr now. I think she has done something that she cannot reverse. I was viewing pictures of her when she was a full-figure young lady and she did look much better.

What can anyone in the world ever do to please others? I wonder.
Why do we keep judging others when we ourselves need to be judged.Would you like it if it was you getting all this bad vibes and energy?
When they are fat you judge when they are skinny you judge!!!! what pple do with their lives is their personal prefrence and bussiness. Why cant the world just run with that and move on.
Please remove the log in ur eyes before trying to remove the speck in others we are all human and nothing about each individual is perfect regardless of who and what you are. Take it or leave it. By the way to everyone's bad side their is a good side [vice-versa] so pls leave them alone let them be you would like it if it was you [SELAH]

Only time will tell if Star Jones actually sues National Enquirer. Often, celebrities (and apparently Star Jones, too) will *say* they're going to sue, but then never follow through. As I recall, Britney Spears said she was going to sue National Enquirer after it published allegations that she had used cocaine on one occasion... but she never did. Perhaps Star Jones will do the same?

an obese person does not look better than a health person, but Star Jones does not look healthy. She looks like she is smoking dope.

You are all very negative. Since when is an obese person "better looking" than a healthy body -type? Americans, in general, are the sickest minded people on this planet. Small wonder America is in such a state.... shouldn't there be more focus placed on things that are of some benefit? Good Luck to each and every one of you awful, hateful people.

Glad to read that I am not the only person that can not stand "Star" I agree she did look much better heavier. now she looks old with loose skin...YUCK!!! I recall back in the day when Star was a BALLOON. She made a comment on how she is absolutely happy being who she is and that she was not about to become a stick..blah blah blah. DANG!! I despise her. What irritated me even more was her asking companies to sponsor her wedding. Greedy old wrinkly hag. Wasnt she planning to have another extraordinary wedding? because the first one wasnt good enough?? Thats what I read somewhere
Cause I'm a lawya...lol

So Sick of Starr Says:
I agree with the previous posts that Star looked better with more weight on but even then she wasn't all that attractive (hence the rush to get married to a gay man).
Ever since those two became an item the entire gossip world has been commenting about Al's sexual preference so why sue this particular tabloid. I believe she made the same threat before when they reported that she almost died getting those ugly breasts redone (get your money back because they look gross). Next thing you know her rep states that it was true. So it won't be long before they admit that they are splitting up and he finally comes out of the closet. Maybe Starr & Terry McMillan should form a support group.

She was prettier when she was obese. No offense intended towards ANYONE, but she looks scary now. I cannot stand her.

Thats the story the are so upset about.It is impossible to sue every article that is written about you.And when they do sue it's something really bad.Why didn't they sue when the gossip mags said Al was gay.Al walks out.That is such a common story.

Nikita, if you have a story about Al Reynolds why don't you tell the National Enquirer about it? A friend of mine did a story about someone pretty famous recently and she earned tens of thousands out of it. She certainly drives a good car now. I've just checked the number she used to reach them on and it's (646) 935-6053. I told a guy at TMZ the same thing

Star Jones is an egomaniac and looks like a pre-op tranny and her husband seems like he is a tad fruity in the drawers.
Together i think they seem to have a "hollywood" marriage I think i have seen this marriage before.... David and Liza
