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!"

16. Star, you used to be a shining star, now you are a falling star and you need to check in with your bad self........Barbbraw can at least tell the truth when he comes to who has slept beneath her sateen sheets.

17.
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.

19. Star is sooooooooooooooooooooo pathetic. She really needs to get over herself. Without Barabara nobody would even care who she is. Star reminds me of the "Heidi and Spencer" drama.....she will do anything to get noticed. She makes a lot of maoney and still wants things for free. Guess what Star by omitting information when asked a question it is still a LIE

24. Star Jones needs to start telling the truth and dealing with the truth in her own life. I believe Barbara and she has a right to write about her life. Star Jone just lives with BS like that stupid wedding and her whole life. Star is a Bitch- and Bitches come in all colors.

27. Yuck, I can't believe Star Jones said something I agree with. Both of these women are distastful.

28. I'll have to agree with Ms.Jones on this one, she is 100% correct. Barbra Walters may be a journalist, but she is no lady. Yes sir, no lady, no class, no grace...anything for a buck.

29. "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."

I never thought I would say this, but I agree with Star Jones one-hundred percent.

I have lost any semblance of respect for Barbara Walters. I hope the book money helps her sleep at night.

30. What's wrong Ms. Jones use that tirm lightly which you are not....."CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!"
