In June 2003, Jones was sued by a landscaping company, which alleged she had agreed to ensure that the firm would receive credit for their work on a rooftop garden for her Upper East Side penthouse duplex in a quid pro quo exchange. The work was done in advance of an article about her home in the October 2003 issue of Architectural Digest. The Smoking Gun website reported on the suit, including a copy of a letter she signed which agreed to the deal.

Jones has often been the target of American tabloids and gossip shows. Jones brought a huge amount of attention to her extravagant marriage to Reynolds and the marriage became the target of many jokes by late night comedians. Jones has said repeatedly that the tabloids don't bother her as long as she "gets paycheck at the end of the week."

Conan O'Brien has made a habit of making fun of Jones; even after her dramatic weight loss (of which Jones has said very little), O'Brien has continued to target Jones and her weight on a weekly basis. O'Brien even took a crack at Jones the night that fellow View co-host Joy Behar was a guest on his show.

Jim Rome commonly refers to Star as "Planet," obviously poking fun at her weight problem.
