Star Jones Stiffs New York Nursery for $7,189.20, Offers to Pay with Autographed Plaque
The Smoking Gun ^ | 12/15/04

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.

I won't pay my bill so here is my autograph.

If the business is smart, they won't take Jones' autograph unless it's on a check for $8,000.

Isn't the guy Star married rumored to be gay? And also, her wedding was sponsored by the people and companies providing the services. Talk about cheap. How much money does she make? I don't think she even paid for the honeymoon or anything.

Who is Star Jones?

Just looks like another overweight, black chick on TV who thinks she's something she's not.

OH-MY-GOSH!

What a grotesque tacky woman!They just don't come any tackier than her. Even her name is tacky.

And her husband looks like a cheap Farrakan knock-off.

He's gotta be a homosexual, isn't he?
