Celebrity Apprentice’s Star Jones Says Nene Leakes Is Like An “Uncaged Animal”


After feeling the wrath of Nene Leakes on the most recent episode of the Celebrity Apprentice, Star Jones is now speaking out against her castmate.

During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today, Star struck back against the Nene. “What were you thinking when Nene was going off like that?” Ellen asked Star. “I was thinking my grandmother is going to watch this,” Star replied.

“I was thinking I need to keep calm because, not for nothing, but when you’re confronted in the wild with an un-caged animal you’re supposed to retreat. You’re not supposed to attack,” added Star, 49, referencing why she decided to walk away from Nene during the verbal attack.

But it didn’t end there. “No,” replied Ellen, “with a bear you’re supposed to appear bigger. You’re supposed to get larger.”

“If you can tell me how to get bigger than that, I got money for you,” responded Star. Ellen then wanted to know if there was a possibility of a reconciliation anywhere in the future for the two reality stars: “How do you all get along now?” asked Ellen.

“Well, the lawyer in me would say, ‘We were not friends before, we were clearly not friends during, we are not friends after,’” said Star, adding, “I don’t know that girl and I don’t hang with people like that.” Ouch!

As for the Nene, she seems proud of the way she behaved on the show as she tweeted yesterday, “I always tell the truth because I don’t c the point n lying & it worked 4 me on last nite episode! I had taken all I could take. Bye Hope.”

  1. 33 shelly,

    “It would be fun to watch Nene and Omarosa go head to head, someone should pitch that to the Donald.”

    These two bitches park their cars in the same garage so to speak. They would just end of tag teaming other contestants. These to animals were born to be best friends. The Universe will eventually bring them together. They are soul mates.

  2. #49 Brownstonefan: Perfect assessment!

  3. Love that idea – Nene vs Omarossa!! Brilliant.

    NayNay Lacks is an uncivilized GORILLA with no redeeming qualities at all. GHETTO and IGNORANCE are her calling cards. She’s almost played them out…but, I fear there is more stupidity in her arsenal. Don’t watch CA nor RHWOA…I don’t have to watch to know that she is a bloody loser. BYE NayNay!!! Go away…no one wants to see you or listen to your ignorance.

    The thing about being an educated woman is that it doesn’t necessarily imply a college education. Parents raise educated kids everyday without having the resources to send them to an institute of higher learning. Education comes from many sources…love, caring, respect, integrity, understanding of human nature. All of these qualities are lacking in NayNay Lacks!!! She couldn’t even recognize them if you told her where to go find them!!! She is simply uncivilized and horribly misinformed. I feel so sorry for her son! What must he be thinking? Or perhaps the ignorance is so pervasive that they think she is some sort of STAR!!! (no pun intended). Pitiful…simply pitiful and a real example of the sorry state of affairs that is reality TV. I don’t watch anything related to TRUMP but he maybe easier to accept than NayNay Lacks!

  6. “Keeping it real” “Telling it like it is” does not mean to be a bully, yelling, rude and out of control. One can tell people the truth using a normal voice. One can out smart another by simply using their brain. This is a contest. Not a ‘friends network”. There are no friends in business. The purpose of the show is to win for charity. Winning is the most important thing. NeNe accuses Star of backstabbing. Yet, from the beginning, NeNe has back stabbed anyone and everyone almost. She even admitted the one girl was made a Project Manager so they could get rid of her. Even Donald’s son said this was not the ‘team spirit’. NeNe is just as conniving as Star, without the brains. She is street, but no polish, no brains. Come on, keeping it real is not an excuse for stupid, loud mouth, bullying behavior. Unreal that anyone promotes this. And NeNe is physically violent, she choked Kim. Hard to believe her being a victim story.

  9. NeNe is an animal

    No Class NENE

    Nene Leaks reeks of the gutter she comes from with the way she carries on. Every time I look at her she leaks and reeks of a no-class, out of the hood, no education, and out of control gutter woman. The woman is ghetto and the way she carried on just proves it.

    No Class NENE

    That woman was CRAZYYY to insult a Jackson the way she did! The ghetto no class Nene insults someone whos family is like royalty but how does La Toya take it? With class. La Toya should have told her “shut up ghetto woman” but had too much class. La toya ended up winning her over with kindness!!

  12. Why is Nene so mean?

  13. Nene is an overgrown moose.

  14. NeNe is a trying to get her fifteen minutes of fame the best way she knows how by being the center of attention. She lacks class, intelligent not to mention education. Soon we will be saying NeNe Who? Here time is almost up!

  15. I find nene to be starving for attention. It is getting kind of sad to watch her act like that all the time. these shows thrive on BS, so nene is in her element. She looks crazy.

    Discussed w/NeNe

    This is terrible behavior of NeNe. She has no class, no intelligence, & no respect for anyone who has been in the business a lot longer than her. She really protrayed being a Bully which Trump knows is not going to work in the Business world as his winner. She needs to get a grip. I’m afraid her attitude is going to negatively affect her career & may be short-lived.

  17. NeNe Leakes = Moose On The Loose!

  18. i missed the original airing but having watched the video i must say that was pretty awful. it got way too personal. the thing with nene is that she’s so thin-skinned. her feelings get hurt and she immediately goes into a tirade. and she usually picks reserved people to blow up on. kim hurt her feelings and she took it out on candi, she cornered dwight, she attacked latoya. and the other thing about nene is that she is immature and unprofessional. that star is manipulative is just the cost of doing business. if you come to work thinking everyone is in it for teamwork, you are not dealing with reality. that is not how work works. it isn’t how most group dynamics work. you can’t take personal offense to someone navigating the environment. “don’t hate the player; hate the game.” she had to know the goal of the show is to win as much money for your charity as possible. the longer you’re in, the more potential cash you pull in. it’s just a game and the stakes aren’t even personal to the players. you might care about the cause, but it isn’t like you’re losing cash or a job opportunity.

    nene’s choices were to ignore star or to counter her moves. she could have worked her own game. she could have even rebuffed star’s suggestions. she could have let star know to back off without ever saying STFU. seriously? complaining to the boss that your coworker is manipulative? grow up. the boss knows that. you don’t get to tattle on people and have the boss punish the naughty. work it out amongst yourselves and don’t disturb the harmony of the team.

    i’m sure these two huge flaws are what draw nene to entertainment. working in a business setting is not for her. she can’t handle it.

    now, the one thing that was maybe the most disturbing was star’s comment about the difference btw educated and uneducated black women. she cast a wide net on undeserving people. advanced degrees do not make you mature or rational or professional. lots of people with no degrees can carry themselves with dignity under stress. i mean let’s get serious: this ain’t a firefight in afghanistan.

    it’s also disturbing that people call nene an animal, either directly or by implication. such comments sully the speaker, not nene. star should be ashamed. if she’s going to sink to dehumanizing comments, then she might as well pick up the phone and have it out with nene.

    nene’s emotional immaturity and pitiable lack of self-awareness are sad to watch. not least because they drive people away from her, a person who’s ego demands attention.

    she should seek professional help.

  19. I am hoping we will see less and less of NeNe on television. She shows no redeeming values at all. She has a chip on her shoulder a mile wide, is delusional and cruel to other people. After watching her on both shows for a while, I am just sick of listening to her. She has only gotten worse and why are we paying someone to act so cruelly and irrationally on TV? She needs to get professional help, and get out of the limelight. There is nothing there – please go back to private life. Nobody wants to see or listen to you anymore. Get help for yourself.
