Star to Babs: I'm a Lawyer, You're a Slut

Posted May 7th 2008 5:13PM by TMZ Staff

Star Jones and Barbara Walters are staging their own version of "The Hills" -- just 50 years later!

Star Jones unleashed a verbal ass-whooping on Barbara Walters today, telling Us Weekly, "It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters, in the sunset of her life, is reduced to publicly branding herself as an adulterer, humiliating an innocent family with accounts of her illicit affair and speaking negatively against me all for the sake of selling a book ... It speaks to her true character."

Star is referring to the revelation Walters made that she had an affair with then-married Senator Edward Brooke during the 1970s -- and the fact that Walters claims in her new book Jones forced her to lie on "The View" about Jones' gastric bypass surgery.

For her part, Walters' rep refused to comment back, saying, "I will not dignify this with a comment. Barbara's written words say it all!"

3. Barbara should have taken that, "affair with Senator Brooke", with her to the grave.

... and I'm sure Barbara has had an interesting enough life with her career to fill a book, without putting Star Jones in as page filler.

6. At least Barbara's affairs were not with homosexuals.

7. She's just pissed off because she doesn't want people to know the truth about her...funny because she seems to have crap to say about everyone else.Barabara goes about it the classy way, on Oprah. Star goes to a tabloid. Says wonders there

8. I agree. Barbara should never have revealed that secret.
It only served to hurt innocent people.

9. Can you imagine having Star Jones as your lawyer? Man, I would be so embarrased!
I hate that fat ass mother-effer, or should I say mother heifer!!!
Star, put the weight back on and drift back to obscuria!
Fat Bitch!
How's your gay husband?

10. Barabar claims to care so deeply for other people...why would she hurt the Senators family and Star? It's all to sell her book, and she didn't have to include those things. Barbara should have let her career and accomplishments speak for itself. I won't buy the book.

11. Star Jones is a disgusting pig. Even with the weight loss she is STILL a pig! Everybody knows that she lied and lied during her last days on The View. And that is why the network couldn't get her fat ass out of there fast enough.

Who else but a stupid, disgusting pig marries a man whom EVERYBODY KNOWS IS GAY?!! Star, go and find something to do with yourself. Maybe you and Omarosa and Justin Guarini can start a has-been support group.

12. I have to admit that I was a little disturbed that Barbara Walters would disclose an affair with a married man even if it was back in the 70's. It doesn't say much about her character or for the way she treats other people. I am not a fan of Star Jones but I have to agree with "my2cent" that surely she must have more interesting topics to put in her book than that of her relationship with Star Jones? Barbara should be embarrassed. In fact, I am embarrassed for you. Shame on you!

Posted at 5:32PM on May 7th 2008 by I'm just sayin'...

13. This is one of the few times I will agree with Star. And to #2. I bet that black Bi^ch could whoop your a^s!!!!!!!!!!!! Now what!!!!!!!!!!!

14.
I agree with Ms. Jones on this issue: nothing good can come of Baba discussing her affair here. Years ago - pre-View days - I considered her a class act. Certainly not anymore. Slither on, Baba.
