Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

Ok, did anyone see it and what were their thoughts?

I thought Star exercised her spin control very well.... and deflected alot of tough questions. I do see some of her points... BUT I also see that maybe once the info was out that she had already talked to People magazine..and who knows who else..

I went to the store late last night...and lo and behold a People magazine was at the checkout with a lower right hand corner pict of Star and the headlines. "Why I was fired from the View"... I think that made the producers madder than anything else. If someone is going to be fired... they go immediately and with reason. If someone's contract is being renewed... that is alot different.. Star seems to just be putting her spin on it.

I noticed her demeanor was very calculated...

I hadn't realized she had been trying to manage the info about the gastric bypass... She wants to call it anything but... She sure was putting her spin on that too.. I seem to recall that one reason she had it was that she had met her husband..

Maybe Star knew that People magazine would be hitting the stands. And that is what prompted her not to wait 2 days more. She claimed because of all the rumors and leaks.. swirling about caused her to announce it earlier. She'd known for 2 months that her contract wasn't being renewed.. She could have asked to be released from the remainder of her contract and I'm sure they would have let her.. Rumors and speculation had been going for quite a bit longer too..

I think her trying to say the show was trying to encourage her to lie to the audience... was not right. If they were giving her an opportunity to line something else up.. and make her exit on her terms... then I thought that was great.. I highly doubt they would tell her she could/should lie.. She could put her spin on her leaving anyway she liked. In her mind, I guess she was being let go.. aka...fired.

I did think the modest speach on Tuesday was fine.. and I thought it could have been managed. But once the info about the People piece came out... I think as Larry King mentioned, the show didn't feel that they could trust what ever else she might say and do and she wasn't being honest by claiming firing.

How comfortable would her last 2 weeks on the show have been knowing that that People magazine is touting an authorized piece currently on the stands.

I think once Star rec'd her notice (of contract non renewal) she should have considered the fallout from claiming to have been fired.. As she said on the LK show.. it was a business decision. She should have treated it as such rather than trying to capitalize on it by creating the controversy now.

I notice the View this morning is a repeat.. Star is back! I am positive it's a repeat. I tuned in expecting something to have been said.. But maybe they wanted to let a day or weekend cooling time before responding to Star's claims on LK.

Star was right... she did it on her terms.. She left the show trying to tarnish it.. Might be her revenge to Rosie..
