Remember Star Jones' ex-husband Al Reynolds? Yep, the one who had that huge sponsored wedding with Star during her days on "The View"? Well he's actually been doing more than just hitting red carpets and trying to stay in the limelight by befriending lots of reality stars.
We've learned he just helped a team win $160 million in court! And he wants to help the NAACP....
Al Reynolds was spotted in the US District Courtroom in Chicago recently as a judge signed off on a $160 million class action discrimination suit settlement. Al was a plaintiff and on the 6-person steering committee that went up against Bank of America/Merrill Lynch for alleged discriminatory acts. And the plaintiffs won BIG.
Even though the money will be divided amongst all plaintiffs involved, we're told Al is walking away with enough "coin" to contribute to the efforts of the NAACP and SEIU...."to make sure labor based discriminatory acts never happens to anyone again."
It's not clear if that means he received two dollars or two million dollars. But either way, Al is trying to contribute to something meaningful.
The settlement occurred on September 6th, and it was signed and sealed on December 6th by Judge Gettleman.
The steering committee has been participating in he case since 2006.
We're also told by a source that he has signed on with MonaMi Productions to co-star with his BFF Jennifer Williams in an upcoming reality show. So maybe we'll see all his racial & social justice advocacy on yet another reality show....
