STAR JONES ACCUSED OF 'STEALING' FROM DETROIT ORGANIZATION

Former THE VIEW host STAR JONES REYNOLDS has been accused of 'stealing' from a Michigan non-profit organisation after accepting plane tickets from them to party during the 2006 NFL Super Bowl. The Detroit women's group, Full and Fabulous, a non-profit organization that helps plus-size women and girls cope with peer pressures, claim they invited the 45-year-old to speak at their Health, Beauty and Self-Esteem conference during the 2006 Super Bowl in Detroit. They claim Jones Reynolds demanded a first-class airfare, a suite at a five-star hotel and $30,000 (GBP15,000) to show up. The group tell Detroit TV station WXYZ how they bought Jones Reynolds - a trained U.S. lawyer - the airplane tickets to Detroit, which she then used to party during the Super Bowl weekend and to plug her book. The TV star never showed up at the conference. However, Jones Reynolds' representative refutes the group's claims, branding them "distorted". According to the spokesperson, Jones honoured all contractual terms of the deal but the organization did not and have fabricated a fascinating story to make a meaningful name for themselves.
