I think Star is right - telling the truth about being fired is the more dignified way of leaving the show. Barbara thinks it would have been better to make up a story, but that would have left Star looking like a big liar when the truth about why she left eventually got leaked to the tabloids.
I agree... The only thing she did that took them by surprise is the surprise announcement two days before...and the facts, no lie. She may have wanted to do it on Thursday but I think People posted the story before the Tuesday show even aired so she may have had little choice... But I think the way she did it on The View was dignified.... and the way she handled herself on Larry King was dignified... She took back control, which probably pissed off Babs and ABC... I think if the discussion of her being let go came up back in November and they didn't tell her about it... I'd be a little upset about not being let in on what's going on. Things can be turned around if worked at.

Anyway... I think the Producers of The View including Babs and ABC are the ones that look a little evil in the situation at this point.
