Star Jones has stiffed a NYC company that helped to beautify her penthouse garden in advance of an Architectural Digest photo shoot last year, according to a lawsuit filed against the freebie loving star of ABC's 'The View.'
Dimitri Nurseries claims that Jones signed an agreement guaranteeing that the firm would get a credit in the magazine (in lieu of payment) for its work.
When the citation did not appear, the firm demanded that Jones make good on a $7,892.00 bill.
Jones, 42 did not want to pay and offered to give the firm a plaque with her signature that could be hung in the firms East Harlem headquarters.
For her part, Jones claims that she is aggrieved party, saying that the construction was shoddy and has caused leaks that have damaged her condo.
She of course did not air those claims to anyone until after the gardening company filed its court complaint in late September.

Because she's famous, and famous people are intrinsically better than you and me.
Why do people geep giving her free things?
The gift that geeps on giving....
She threatens to barbecue and eat anyone who doesn't.
Here geep geep geep!
Here geep geep geep!
How tacky can one person be? She thinks her signature is the equivalent of $7000-plus to a business, she runs up bills she won't pay, she gets "corporate sponsors" for her insanely lavish wedding, and she expects us to believe she shops at Payless Shoes? Come on.
At least she's providing plenty of newspaper stories in the Post for her antics..
That is ballsy. I won't pay my bill so here is my autograph.
She should have married Al Sharpton. They would have made the perfect couple.
``and has caused leaks that have damaged her condo.``
Uhhhh Star, maybe its because you weigh 500lbs and current construction guidlines are not equipped to deal with that kind of load bearing pressure from your royal fattness.
Star should ask Oprah, to have a day she will pay all of the floral bills for her audience, then they can be Media Sisters, AKA floral feminazis.
Ops4 God Bless America!
How this cow, who started as an unemployed lawyer talking head on the O.J. trial because she had the right skin color, ever reached the title of celebrity is beyond me.
"Why yes, ma'am, we'll accept your autograph...ON A CHECK FOR WHAT YOU OWE US, YOU DEADBEAT WITCH!"

How can anyone be a fan of hers?
She is one my list of celebrities I love to hate.
Agree. Never cared for.
(Shudder.)
Wow...imagine if a White Republican congressman had ripped off a Harlem-based business...Dan Rather might even be interested.
There went my lunch.....
