Star Jones: Still Bitter

In the November issue of Essence magazine, Star Jones opens up about her final days on ABC's "The View," saying of her former co-hosts "Those girls were hateful."

Regarding her infamous dispute with co-host/producer Barbara Walters preceding her 2006 departure, Jones adds "Barbara set me up."

Jones also talks to Essence about "falling into a depression" after losing her self-titled Court TV show last year; and her divorce from Al Reynolds, which was finalized in September.

As for Reynolds' YouTube video in which he admits that he "still loves" Star, Jones responds: "I'm not in love with him."

Jones, currently in negotiations to make a non-scripted TV comeback, has been photographed with rumored new flame Herb Wilson, an executive chef. Choosing not to address the relationship directly, she tells the magazine: "I want to fall in love again. I'm ready to love 24/7. I want happiness."

Below is the footage where she announced her departure. We suspect she wanted to slap all of them with her pimp hand!
