A Sad, But Not Unexpected, Told You So

I said I wasn't going to post on this but what the heck! Star Jones is divorcing Al Reynolds.

Star Jones has filed for divorce from her husband, Al Reynolds, after three-and-a-half years of marriage, a rep for the former “View” co-host has confirmed to Access Hollywood.

“Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life. A month ago I filed for divorce. The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone’s life that requires privacy with one’s thoughts. I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman,” Jones said in a statement to Access.

A source close to the former talk show host told Access the couple’s relationship has been in peril for some time, saying, “It hasn’t been an easy relationship for a while. There were all these rumors out there, all this speculation, which made it difficult for Star.”

I said from the beginning that the marriage would be over once she stopped looking like a drag queen. After she was canned from The View, she underwent therapy and changed her look. I'm sure that a lot of soul searching showed revealed a few truths about herself and the man she'd proclaimed as her soul mate while in her previous state of mind.

I believe it was the first or second season of The View on an show where Whoopi was a guest and Star was going on and on about wanting to get married. Whoopi looked at her like she was a kook and told her that she really just wanted the wedding. Well, she got the wedding - a spectacular one at that. I know it wore me out trying to watch and listen to her plan every last detail of that event. But after the wedding, there is the marriage and all of thing nice things that the fairy god mother lent to her for that special day disappeared. I'm sure it was a nice ride while it lasted and I hope she truly will emerge from this minus the exaggerated sense of self.
