Celebrity Apprentice Beef: Star Jones Accuses Lisa Rinna Of Harassment


If you are not tuning in to Celebrity Apprentice Sundays you are missing some good, good T.V.  Star Jones and Lisa Rinna were enemies from the get go. And now it's getting even uglier.


The Celebrity Apprentice costars butted heads on this week's episode of the show, with Rinna being kicked off after she was appointed team leader on a children's book project.


Behind the scenes, the sniping has gotten even uglier, with Jones claiming she has been targeted by Rinna's "foul" tweets and emails—attacks so nasty that Jones has sicced some bigwig lawyers on Rinna.

Here's one of the tweets" Pic of Star Jones without her wigs"

Jones who usually has a lot to say had been constantly bad-mouthed by Rinna since the show wrapped (Celeb Apprentice began taping last fall; all episodes but the live finale have been shot). 

Star Jones is "not playing " and has backed up the claim, Jones has gathered the series of tweets dating back months and a pile of emails from Rinna and turned them in to NBC's legal department, complaining she is being "harassed," according to a source familiar with the situation.


No comment yet from Rinna, who has since deleted the offending tweets, including some of Rinna posing with monster masks and featuring captions like "Great picture of me and Star Jones!!!! " (Although Rinna has removed them, many have been archived online.)

Star just collected it all and handed them over. It's in legals hands now and they've warned Lisa to stop," the insider says."Star hasn't taken the behind the scenes fight public because she thinks it would ruin Lisa."
Saying that such attacks were "evidence of [Rinna's] instability," Jones also got lawyers from The Trump Organization and from Mark Burnett Productions involved in her fight this week to shut Rinna up.

This is not Star Jones first time in this dance, years ago Star has had problems with her costars. She verbally attacked the ladies of The View, calling them "hateful" after she left the show.
