“It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters, in the sunset of her life, is reduced to publicly branding herself as an adulterer, humiliating an innocent family with accounts of her illicit affair and speaking negatively against me all for the sake of selling a book. It speaks to her true character.”
- Star Jones on Barbara Walters new memoir, Audition.
It lasted longer than most expected, but after three and half years Star Jones and Al Reynolds have split up.
Star reportedly filed for divorce a month ago.
A source tell the Enquirer, “They hadn’t been seeing eye to eye for months and had already spent a great deal of time apart. Finally, Star decided it was over. She told Al at the end of January that he had 30 days to get his act together or ‘get out. I think Star felt Al had spent their marriage riding her success while she did all the heavy lifting. She resented it. Deep down, Star is a very old-fashioned woman who believes a man should support her emotionally, physically and financially. She now believes Al failed her.”
Star’s publicist is, of course, denying the reports.
We hear Al’s boyfriend is elated. Heh.
