Then Barbara says she tried to get the "bosses" to relent -- until Star made her announcement (literally one commercial break earlier than planned) on the air and Walters said she feels she was ambushed -- or something to that effect.
Strange people.

Star knew about this a LOOOOONG time ago. They were going to let her say "I am leaving to be a professional skydiver" or whatever and NOT mention that it was ABC's decision not hers - the cohosts AND the network. All the cohosts thought she would tell them what she was going to do - instead she springs it on national TV on Tuesday without telling her coworkers. Mainly so she can get publicity. I don't blame Baba for being pissed. Star showed her true colors. It was the equivalent of leaving a message with your boss the day before a big presentation saying you were quitting and wouldn't be in the next day.
