Star Jones Announces She Is Leaving The View (Aired: 06/27/2006)

Star Jones goes off script and announces she is leaving the show, live on air (Season 9).

To be honest she left the way she wanted to. I think her speech was very respectful and straight to the point, she knew there was leaks coming from the show, constant rumours in the press and she finally snapped and just was honest. It spoke volumes on the programme the next day when Barbara spoke so badly of Star and threw her under the bus.

This is the most high quality version of this I've seen. Thanks for uploading this. The View was SO much better in those days.

She knew they wasn’t playing fair behind the scenes. At the time someone from the show was leaking stories to the tabloids about her being “difficult to work with” and being a diva. She controlled the narrative surrounding her contract not being renewed and gagged them.

That’s the way I left my first job at Burger King 😂

This is better quality thanks for uploading this

The way Barbara is looking at her 😭 she wanted to rip that new body apart stitch by stitch

[s.w.d]

Star had an entire network panicked!!! If you’re going out, you better go out with a bang!!! And Star went out with a BANG!

Barbara Walters and others at ABC wanted to keep it quiet. Star Jones announced her own departure which was right.

Love or loathe, this is the definition of fearless.

The View is a entirely different show than what it was back then

This was actually a great speech. She did a good job.

Thank you for uploading! They’re all appreciated.

I remember watching this live and thinking Star would announce a pregnancy and being bummed to discover she wasn't coming back next season. I was looking forward to seeing her spar with Rosie, but this finale right here was epic.

2:15 woooaaahhh . yeah there was definitely a fight backstage after the show was over . i can see from both perspective why they would be offended and annoyed with one another . two strong women with big personalities

[Blumoon_vii]

Barbara is not a nice person she's a control freak .. what Star did is very brave and inspiring... you leave in the way you want to leave in your own terms ... don't allow them to throw you away

[drewmac]

I think the part when Star was like saying something about controlling the future then look at Barbara. I would loved to see what happened during the break or the backstage talk lol

[neutralmode]

FUNNY TO WATCH KNOWING IT HAPPENED TO ALL 3 AT TABLE IN THEIR OWN TIME, WE ALL HEARD THE MIC AUDIO FROM ELIZABETH ROARING ABOUT BARBERA BEFORE SHE CAME BACK FROM BREAK LOL . STAR KNEW SHE NEEDED TO MAKE A GREAT TV MOMENT - AND SHE DID - WE ARE STILL WATCHING THIS TODAY AND MANY OTHER HOSTS HAVE COME AND GONE AND YOU WONT REMEMBER THEM

Poor Bill Getty probably off screen losing it lol😂
