The ladies of "The View" responded to the comments made by their former co-host Star Jones on Oprah Winfrey regarding her gastric bypass surgery that she kept a secret.

"I'm going to take a bypass. … Good luck to her," Joy Behar said on the show when asked about Star. "We had to cover for her. We had to say [her weight loss] was from diet and exercise which it wasn't."

On Oprah, Star was asked to react to a previous clip of Barbara Walters on Oprah saying her secret surgery caused "The View" audience to feel "uncomfortable" and unable to "relate" to Star anymore. "I'm so sorry that I placed a burden on my colleagues. I never asked them to lie," Star said.

On today's "The View" Barbara said of her former co-host's disclosure on Oprah, "We really do wish her well."

  • Joy is always my favorite. She is funny yet she is highly intelligent. I love Whoopi and between, Barbara and her talents, Joy and her knowledge, humar and intelligence, Whoopi and her long history of being a great and maintaining that .....the view has been saved....they need to get rid of that childish breeder Elizabeth or suggest that she start to grow up and stop being rude and interrupting everything everyone has an opinion about...you would think she was the only person on earth that had a right to have an opinion...I feel really sad for her children for it takes an adult to raise a healthy child....that will turn out to be a mature adult...her parent obviously failed badly...I am sure she is a good person...just rude and childish

  • I like Star Jones. It was her personal life and her decision not to let the "world" know about her surgery. I do not watch the VIEW, Barbara lost my respect with her TELL ALL book. She needs to retire. And Joy she is a MAD WHITE WOMAN. So negative.

  • When you are in the public eye and do something so drastic you should tell the truth. She never thought of those fans that may have needed her support or insight on the surgery. She preferred to talk about Al. Career ruined.

    T Learning Center:
    the Learning Center t should work for the preparation of a production machine that the rapid creation of these batteries, these batteries can create.
    The dispensers of the raw materials, for which this metal needs, because even the innermost and ronddraaiende are accused of metal. This 2 small metal must be fixed magnet placed these metals and raw materials should also be on the long bar magnet.
    Perhaps it is to make purchases of pre-built magnet to measure and the tussenwerk of steel is possible in the company, which i have the small magnet purchase.
    the definition of the magnet to attach great importance to the steel section, this section is not a steel battery with the magnetic field. The vessel that this gap to find something for the safe vessel ggeg of the battery will work best when these metals volume does not do the trick to magnetic field.
    It is the art of real and confirm the magnet to each other of a metal alloy that is not allowed to leave it to the magnetic field. So that they never magnetic alloy metals will be, by the right to choose the alloy metal.
    I also have the necessary copper wire or a pre-made Ascaris, where this magnet bar spinning around in it can do around spider. This will ensure that electricity is produced word thanks to the copper wire and the ronddraaiende snap.
    This magnet will be disposed of metals so that the picture to which they are confirmed also confirmed to the ronddraaiende snap in the inductor around tetranychus.
    so that it snaps to the Interior of the blank empty place in this battery ggeg against the side to side have been confirmed in the vicinity safe cigarette does believe that is not to the magnetic field. But no magnetic field on the development of metals and metal cover.
    It would also cover metals mischien better in a hard plastic can. So that this cover of this battery around the hollow section, no electricity will transfer to the outside of this battery ggeg

    No electricity, which is confirmed to the copper wires rewind to the back side of the copper wire confirmed or the copper wire to do to walk to the outlet to the outside of this ggeg battery. So that it can to plug the devices that operate on electricity of electricity.
    The counter, or steam heat can also have to be rendered in this package or clicked and confirmed as of the share to each other to be confirmed. This heat can heat will respond to, and it will be ronddraaiende with the confirmed metal snaps do spinning to a lower rate. So that they can sense the heat, heat can be sensitive to the right to determine the correct power as is necessary for the electrical material with a power cord as replacement of the AC power to make generating electricity and running and to the right pace and rhythm will need to be regulated with electric or continuous at the heart of this ggeg battery.
    There must be looked at various points for special. As someone who is not prepared for, and these documents should, from materials unconscious, the battery has a chance to fail.
    We can experiment of the external sling spinning force be measured, for example, in the center of the bar magnet in the inductor. around. For this to a lighter material, or hard plastic to experiment. This we believe these are all the evidence that magnetic field strength, a force is always changing, which can quickly rotate against a strong magnet on the afstoot of the magnet in the ronddraaiende metal. If this is a bar magnet attaches to the metal, swivel for off - created in a proper form that contains this bar magnet retains its position in the copper inductor.
    In the acknowledgment of the parts we have already been at least 3 parts that we need to click in each other, or classes.
    half of the battery with the 3 jagged Holte.
    the other half of the battery, with the opening for the inductor magnetic bar that contains this can only, and cannot shocks and may succeed, because the opening that contains this middle bar magnet in this round cube is spinning, opening of the appropriate major. And certainly not greater, because the magnet bar free game, and this should never be no free game, and may only rotate around.
    This 2 halves together be fixed or ordered by a laspost ronddraaiende after the inner portion is grouped together, these 2 halves of the battery to be confirmed.
    It is certainly a plastic firmly enough, or certain of a metal alloy that does not pass electricity for the 2 halves of the battery.
    The metals and alloys that word in the Middle, and the package that consists of the 2 outer parts of the battery may not have a aantrek of the magnetic field so that these metals alloys that snaps a total of 3 have been confirmed. Must not magnetic, so immune for the magnetic field must be chosen from the alloys. so the metals portion between the magnet bar that cube is spinning the flat and magneetjes to the end have been confirmed. This portion of a metal alloy that there is no electricity, such as the pass 2 halves of the buitenkanten or ggeg battery.
    invulnerable, metal, with this invulnerable for electricity,

    invulnerable, metal, with this invulnerable for electricity, so that it does not work as a conductor.
    And invulnerable to about which controls and magnetic field, so that they never magnetic alloy metals can be.
    These are the most important points.

  • I never cared for Star Jones. She needs to give it up and shut up. Your career is over as is your marriage. That's what happens when you're a liar.

    • WHAT DOES ONE HAVE TO DO WITH THE OTHER, WHAT AN IDIOTIC STATEMENT! IT WASN'T YOUR BUSINESS NOR MINE. IF SHE CHOSE TO KEEP QUIET UNTIL WHENEVER, IT WAS HER CHOICE. REMEMBER WHEN YOU POINT A FINGER, YOU HAVE SOME POINTING BACK AT YOU.

  • I am personally sick of Starr Jones and her lies!! She should have been honest in the first place. She could have been and inspiration instead of a fake. So many people are having that surgery, or lap band surgery....personally, I'd rather do it the old fashion way....diet and exercise....she should have checked in on the biggest loser....now that's an inspiration!!

  • Why did they have to pick Star's bones again. Joy & Barbara are jealous, Star looks better than they do and she is younger than they are.

    • THEY didn't pick "poor" Star's bones again. She started it all up, again, going on Oprah, ET, etc. They were only responding to her.

  • Even though you gastric bypass surgery . you still have to diet and exercise. The surgery only works if you work with it. People who have never had it or no anyone personally. Should shut their pie holes! And honestly what she did in her personal life is no ones business! GET A LIFE!!

  • I was a huge fan of the View until Star left. The ladies turned into such back-stabbers that I've totally lost interest. Babs needs to retire!

    • exactly my feelings. before with Meredix and Star the show was so classy. Now it's all trashy, Including Barbara. She used to be cool. A lot of vulgarity.

  • I never was a fan of Star Jones. She looks very bad in this picture. She may not have used the word 'lie' but I'm sure she let them know that she didn't want people to know the truth - so what did she think she was asking them to do?

    • Star really made that show because she was so honest, go back and look at the old clipping and starr never stated that she lost the weight with just exercising and palate she actual stated that through her doctors intervention and exercise and palate…. Go back and check it out for your self and comment on which one of these ladies are lying. And if the show was all of that and a bag of chips then why did they have to get whoopie and sherry to bring up their rating Barbara knew that she joy and the other girl elizabeth could not hold water by them selves and the show would have been cancelled long time ago but they tried to assonates starr because she knew she was telling the truth and her character but we will see who will come out on the top I know who will and that is the TRUTH and starr is more of the truth than Barbara W do not buy the book but go the the library or the book store and sit and read the book and that will tell who has moral standards and character. And the winner is Starr.!!!!!!!!!! why are they so stuck on starr and her career they are jealous and need to get a life and Barbara Walters she is a liar and she has no respect for family that is why her daughter stop talking to her for years because she is the "ideal mother" no because she need help. She tries to expose others because she has never been happy a day in her life. She is a cheater and to get sympathy she tried to expose other just like she tried to say something negative and the legendary Diane Carol when Mrs. Carrol tried to talk about cancer and cures and Barbara tried to bring up her past and she shut her up real quick fast and a hurry and told her “you can not tell me about your father he was my agent I knew your father better than you did.” Barbara is such a big liar, she lied on Starr Jones and she lied on Debbie, Rosie and more that have came out against her and told the truth about her loyalty to them. She tried to calm the storm by putting out this memoir of her old life and she is nothing but a whore and a family wreaker. I too stop watching her show and sherri and whoopie better watch out when they ever decide to leave because she is a back stabber ask Meredith
