Former host Star Jones Reynolds on Press Tour
Former co-host on The View Star Jones Reynolds prepared for her new Court TV show by participating in the Turner Summer 2007 TCA Press Tour this past weekend. Her new show will premiere later this year. When asked to speak about her departure from The View, this is what she had to say:
I was part of an amazing pop-culture experience. Barbara Walters gave me the opportunity of a lifetime. So I’m not going to do anything that damages that warm feeling I had. I’m not going to pile on, I’m not going to participate in any of the silliness.
But if you want to know something I’m disappointed in, it’s the fact that there’s no person of color who has been permanently placed and part of the cast of The View. We all brought different values to the table and when you’re putting forth a show you need to make it look like the fabric of society. That’s the only thing I would encourage, a permanent person of color, who is a professional, because that was my job, to bring the facts to the forefront.
Here are a couple of photos from the tour. I still have a difficult time recognizing her with her new look.

She looks so different! I did not really watch The View when she was on. More off and on, here and there. I remember seeing her after her weight loss (surgery?) and just about fell off my chair.
I notice in both pics her neck looks odd. The second picture reminds me of a bobblehead.
Anyway it will be interesting to see her with a new show. Should be right up her alley in regards to her legal experience.
