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

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!"

227. Barbara Walters is a discrace ! I no longer have any respect for her. I will not buy the book, watch the View again, or any other show she does or is on. Shame on Oprah for not calling her to task on sleeping with another womans husband. How insecure, shallow and lacking of self respect for Barbara. Oh yes and the mayor of NY city throwing a party in Barbaras honor to help launch her book ???? New Yorkers.......This is not the kind of woman or character that should be honored...consider your vote carefully when election time comes around again.

228. Star Jones is a talentless ridiculous cow who should know better than to attack the likes of Barbara Walters. Star... dear, it's YOUR true colors that are showing through... and they're dripping down your face from the rotten color job on that bad weave of yours. No wonder her husband dumped her. She's a spiteful, vindictive hag parading as a "personality."

229. I think something that has gotten lost in all of the posts is the fact that Miss Walters wrote a book about her life, and as such she had every right to include any and all things that have had a strong impact on her life as she had every right too. After all it is HER LIFE !
The things she has said in interviews about Rosie or Star has been said in a very kind way, and please don't put the woman out to pasture yet, she opened so many doors for women in broadcasting we all should thank her.

232. Oh come on. How can anyone think that what she did with a married man was noble. She is disgraced by her own mouth.

233. There is no way I would have Star Jones for a lawyer!!!!
She lied to all of us about her weight loss, thinking that we were all fools enough to believe she lost all that blubber that fast by diet and working out. Everyone that ever saw her before and after could tell, without a doubt, that she had the surgery done. She couldn't tell the truth if she was paid to. No wonder her husband dumped her fat butt.
Barbara Walters didn't tell us anything about her that we didn't already know, it was just a matter of time.
As far as Barbara's affair, I am sure she did her homework before she told that tale.

234. I despise Star Jones!

235. Star Jones could very well DIE BEFORE BARBARA, considering the way this big, fat, gross glutton abused her body for years! She is a pretentious cheat and no better than a common thief imo. She charged a lavish trip to the Super Bowl game for herself and her homosexual husband to a women's group she had a contractual speaking engagement with and failed to appear. The group sued, won and TMZ reported Star Jones refused to pay the judgment against her.

237. Walters is obviously in desperate need for attention. She uses "The View" and her puppet co-hosts to give her book more
air-time. She is so narcissistic. At her old age, she needs to see a psychiatrist. Its all about her world, her father who owned nightclubs, how she felt guilty and ashamed about her retarded sister, her now notorious affair with a high-powered ranking official ... oh how her ego loved that! WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!SHE'S JUST A GLORIFIED REPORTER!!!! She is no different from the media today who use people for their own selfish purpose. She is a whore.

238. Baba Wawa hasn't been a respected journalist in decades. Her fawning over celebrities does NOT qualify her as a journalist (does anyone consider Larry King to be a journalist?) She is a whore for attention...someone put this old nag out of her misery...PLEASE.

239. First of all, Star you are NOT!!!!!!! What Star, you think you've never made a life mistake???????? PLEEZE.......you married a gay man??????????? Why???????????????? And then you want all of America to believe that all that fat you lost was not from gastric bypass....oh, that's right, it was a "medical invention".....just for you.......WHATEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! And then you went on Larry King and when he asked you if you had gastic bypass you said, "well, what else could it be Larry". America isn't as stupid as you think we are, I believe that 99.9% of the people knew that you had gastic bypass, and you did force Barbara to lie about it on the air, you should be ashamed of yourself. At least Barbara is credible, classy, and knows how to tell the TRUTH :) Pay attention, you could learn a thing or two from her.

240. How do ANY Of you know Barbara has hurt this man's family??? Has anyone from his family come forth against Barbara? Nope. Stop speaking for his family. Obviously they know about this affair, as it happened 30 some odd years ago. Listen, I'm no big Babs fan, but I think what she put out there took guts. Do I agree with her choice to have an affair with a married man? Of COURSE NOT! But am I going to crucify her for being honest in her memoirs? No. I don't care how she got where she is, be it by stepping on people's toes, or sleeping with them, she has opened up some doors for the women of this country to the media world.
People should try not to be so judgmental about something she chose to do. If you had lived a life that was full of fame, you'd be writing your memoirs too. And if you could have what she has (fame and fortune), I know a MAJORITY Of you all would be doing what they could to get it. I don't understand how everyone here can take this honesty and turn it all around and be so "holier than thou". Give me a break. NO ONE Here is innocent enough to judge her. We've all made bad choices in life. No matter what it has to do with. It was our choice, and it was her choice to come forward about her life.
