BARBARA RESPONDS TO STAR'S 'HATEFUL' CHARGE: 'View' executive producer/co-host says the show 'made Star a star.'
*Barbara Walters says she doesn't understand why her former co-host on "The View," Star Jones, would tell Essence magazine that she and the other co-hosts were "hateful" toward her as she was leaving the show.
As previously reported, Jones is featured in the November issue of the monthly saying of her former co-workers “Those girls were hateful" during her final days in 2006.
Walters, whose "View" run with Jones was shared with co-hosts Joy Behar, Meredith Viera and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, told the Associated Press: "Star had wonderful years with us on 'The View.' And, I think 'The View' made Star a star." Walters added that she wishes "her well."
Jones left "The View" in June 2006 after her contract was not renewed. She'd been one of the show's co-hosts for 9 years. The former prosecutor is currently in talks to make a non-scripted TV comeback, and was photographed kissing executive chef Herb Wilson in the stands at last month’s U.S. Open.
