On March 19, 2025, Star Jones sparked a firestorm after calling billionaire Elon Musk “stupid” during a live broadcast of her talk show, Star Speaks. Her scathing critique led to a swift and unprecedented $20 million fine, causing a major controversy in the entertainment industry.
The fine came from a breach of a contractual clause prohibiting defamatory statements against high-profile figures. It’s believed that Musk, known for his legal aggression, played a role in pressuring the network, which has suspended Jones’ show indefinitely. While some fans defend Jones, others criticize her outburst, with advertisers pulling support.
Jones, facing financial jeopardy, has vowed to fight the fine, calling it extortion. Legal experts are divided on the fallout, with some suggesting this could be the end of her career, while others see it as an underdog battle.
Musk’s influence looms large in the saga, and the future of Jones’ career is uncertain, as both sides prepare for a lengthy legal battle.
