More on the Star Jones Reynolds saga

Star Jones Reynolds continued to talk about her ousting from The View on Larry King Live last night. She said ABC execs didn't want her to return next year because of her falling personal popularity, and that she was told she could "make up" a story about why she was leaving and that her co-hosts and colleagues would go along with it. "They said, 'You can make up a story,'" Reynolds told CNN's King. "The audience didn't deserve for me to make up a story. That's not fair." She says she chose Tuesday to announce her exit after seeing a website with a "Countdown to Star leaving the View." The fallout from Reynolds's interview with People magazine has caused a public feud between her and show leader Barbara Walters. The former lawyer says she has spoken out because she was "having trouble reconciling" with ABC's advice that she lie about her departure.
