Barbara Walters reveals Star Jones real weight loss secret
Posted on May 7th, 2008 by Hot Momma
Barbara Walters has been doing the publicity rounds for her new book Audition, a memoir of her career. In the book Barbara talks about a little fib she had to tell every day on the set of “The View.” Everyone knows Star Jones had gastric bypass surgery, but Star insisted the truth be spun to “she lost the weight from “portion control and pilates”.”
Barbara told Oprah yesterday that Star became so obese that she could barely walk on to the set anymore.
Barbara said, “She decided to have a gastric bypass operation, but then she decided not to tell anybody. Then we had to lie on the set everyday because she said it was portion control and Pilates. Well, we knew it wasn’t portion control and Pilates.”
At one stage Star was going to go on 20/20 with Barbara to discuss the gastric bypass surgery but then backed off wanting to maintain the exercise and dieting story.
Barbara also claimed that Star “wanted the biggest extravaganza wedding — she wanted to be a princess” and that she wanted to promote her wedding to get things paid for. The NY Post ended up nicknaming Star bridezilla for her behavior as her wedding to Al Reynolds approached. Needless to say Star was stung by Barbara’s comments and responded.
Star told UsWeekly, “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.”
Sunset of her life?! Snap!
Barbara’s rep responded to Star’s comment by saying, “I will not dignify this with a comment. Barbara’s written words say it all!”
