On 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' (weekdays, syndicated), Star Jones spoke out on her ongoing catfight with 'Celebrity Apprentice' co-star NeNe Leakes. Jones said she did her best to stay calm as Leakes repeatedly lashed out at her during Sunday's episode of the reality show.

"I was thinking, 'I need to keep calm.' Because, not for nothing Ellen, but when you're confronted in the wild with an uncaged animal, you're supposed to retreat," Jones said.

"No, with a bear, you're supposed to appear bigger. You're supposed to get larger," said Ellen DeGeneres.

"If you can tell me how I can get bigger than that, I've got money for you," said Jones.

"I knew that [Leakes] had been violent and volatile in the past," continued Jones. "And, so, I just wasn't going to be in that situation because it really could have escalated into something that became dangerous."
