Jimmy Kimmel is not a fan of Vivica Fox and it doesn’t seem like he ever will be. The late night talk show host revealed to Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live” Sunday that that Ms. Fox sits at the top of his list of celebrity guests that he would never invite to his show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live”.This is all because of an incident from back in September of 2005 when she made an appearance on Kimmel’s show to promote her Lifetime show “Missing.
Kimmel kicked it off by making fun of Star Jones, a friend of Fox’s, as he introduced the entertainer. Although the comedian highlighted Fox’s accomplishments, he continued going at Jones when he concluded with, “…and most harrowing of all, Star Jones’ bridesmaid.”
From that moment on, Fox’s interaction with Kimmel became tense and icy as the “Set It Off” star claimed that she didn’t find the host’s jokes about Jones funny.
“It goes both ways,” chided Kimmel, who tried to make things right. “I’m desperate to make this work. You know what? The four of us should get together — me, you, Star and [Star’s then-husband] Al [Reynolds].”
Fox’s response: “You would get your a** kicked.”
At that point, Fox walked off the set, leaving Kimmel to spend the next segment focused on her empty chair.
