Star Jones Files For Divorce From Al Reynolds

By Access HollywoodApril 23, 2008, 9:59 am PDT

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Star Jones has filed for divorce from her husband, Al Reynolds, after three-and-a-half years, a rep for the former "View" co-host has confirmed to Access Hollywood.

"Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life. A month ago I filed for divorce. The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone's life that requires privacy with one's thoughts. I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman," Star said in a statement to Access.

A source close to the former talk show host told Access the couple's relationship has been in peril for some time now, saying, "It hasn't been an easy relationship for a while. There were all these rumors out there, all this speculation, which made it difficult for Star."

Star and Al were married in November 2004 in New York City. The massive ceremony included 500 hundred guests, three matrons of honors, and 12 bridesmaids.

Star was publicly criticized by several peers for using her wedding as an excuse to gather freebies from the wedding industry.

    I think it is human nature to want to share your good blessings with others. Star Jones is certainly no excepetion...HOWEVER, when you invite the media into every aspect of your relationship and that relationship then ends you cannot seriously expect or assume the media will give you a "pass" and let you "mourn" privately. It aint gonna happen. Let's

    Star Jones is a poor example of a woman, regardless of race, creed, or color....She has serious issues...Before you pass judment on others, you need to look at yourself, and why you felt you had to lie about your life especially with your weight. I hope you do find happiness and success but you don't have to put people down to rise to the top...Remember that!!!!!!!
