According to online reports, TV personality Star Jones has filed for divorce from her husband Al Reynolds. After the spectacle she made of her nuptials to Reynolds in 2004, it would be really easy to rejoice at Ms. Jones current misfortune. However, I’m not going to go there. I’m just going to wish her well, respect her privacy, and share her public statement:

“Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life. A month ago I filed for divorce. The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone’s life that requires privacy with one’s thoughts. I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman.”

Having been through enough breakups, I know that what comes next for star is incredibly painful. However, after the pain comes the pleasure of rediscovering yourself and who you’ve become as a result of lessons learned. I wish her happiness and healing.
