We all knew it was coming. After remaining relatively mum to the press, Star Jones has decided to directly weigh in on her “Celebrity Apprentice” teammate and rival NeNe Leakes, calling her a “pig.”
In an interview with popeater.com columnist Rob Shuter, Jones spoke about her on- and off-air feud with Leakes, explaining that she feels the battle is demeaning and pointless.
“You never get involved in a pig fight,” Star tells me. “If you do, three things happen: you get dirty, you get tired, and only the pig has fun. It diminishes me to talk about her. I have so many other things going on in my life.”
The former “The View” co-host explains that on the show she prefers to handle the drama in a more respectable manner, unlike Leakes.
“In my heart, I think, ‘pray, don’t act crazy, your grandmother is watching, your sorority sisters are watching, you were raised better than this,’ ” said Jones. “I know there are people that value my opinion. Plus, I’m not 20 minutes off the pole.”
Guess the earlier reports that Jones and Leakes were attempting to be friends — or at least frenemies — weren’t true.
