As Barbara Walters continues to tell all in her new memoir Audition, a few raised hackles were inevitable.
Former co-host of The View Star Jones is speaking out against her former employer, claiming that Babs told her to lie about her gastric bypass surgery before she was fired from the roundtable.
“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,” Jones told Us. “It speaks to her true character.”
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeow!!!!
Will Star’s successor, Rosie O’Donnell, throw in her two cents? Stay tuned!!!
UPDATE: Barbara has responded to Star’s comments by not responding.
Says a rep for the legendary interviewer: “I will not dignify this with a comment. Barbara’s written words say it all!”

DAAAAAMNNN, she broke it off in Barbara’s ass.
I am no Star fan but I thought it was a little weird for her to write about an affair about a respected retired statesmen when he is alive and has a family. I am sure he is not too happy about the book. None the less, the whole thing about the “sunset” of her life is rude.
It’s true. Who the fuck does Barbara Walters thinks she is to write a tell all book where she tells on everybody damn else? If she wants to air her own dirty laundry, fine, but she has no right to trash Star or Rosie. I don’t give a damn about that shithead of a Senator. If she’s so fucking big and bad, why doesn’t she talk shit on Whoopie, Joy and Elizabeth? I can’t stand that old hag. She is a piece of shit, homewrecking whore.
Well finally somebody told it like it is. Babs was a HOMEWRECKER that caused DIVORCE and alot of pain to a family which everybody seems to be celebrating rather being shameful and apologizing for.
I’m no fan of Star, but I totally agree with her here. BW should have kept her mouth shut.
LOL @ My2cents! That’s just what I was thinking. I couldn’t agree more with Star.
Star is RIGHT!
barbara is a legend. she helped lead women’s lib. she has been an icon to women in every generation.
star is an angry, egotistical idiot.
What color of lipstick does that girl have on?
homewrecking whore who doesn’t even feel bad about the affair…
and please …Babs didn’t “lead” the women’s lib movement. Open up your history books!
Star is a disgusting pig yet grudgingly I must admit she has a point. What does it serve for Baba to “out” a relationship with a married man over 30 years later? Personally, I find it to be as attentionwhorish as Star herself. They make two peas in a pod. Perhaps that’s why they can no longer stand each other. Pot meet kettle.
2 cents you crrrazzy!! Wow is all I can say.. We all know Barbara is a lieing bitch. Trump put her on blast when she called rosie a pig. Then she had the nerve to say Donald was the liar. I like Star and I don’t give a shit if she staples her stomach, or her ass- She’s That Chick!!
Barbara is a money whore above all else, I never bought her dignified unbiased schtick.
Bab’s didn’t have an affair all by her little lonesome self. In fact, the Senator’s wife dumped him because he was a habitual cheat, and Barbara wasn’t the first, nor the last, and none of this news IS news to anyone but some of you quick to lay the blame at BW’s feet while letting the dude off scott free. Women kill me beating up on other women because a man chose to disrespect his vows. I just don’t get it.
Wow … the sunset of her life??? That’s rude! lololol
I’m sure an all out cat fight will ensue… Star can’t keep her mouth shut even for PeeWee’s penis.
Post 14 Barbara is still not excused from behavior that is wrong just because he was a cheat.
Her words “those were exciting times” well that must make it alright she seemed to be bragging.
If Barbara didn’t write about the affair, someone else would have written it in an unauthorized biography so this is a preemptive strike on her part.
Star was stupid in not disclosing the gastric bypass surgery and forcing the other women to lie about it, on TV.
They’re both bitches. Let’s hope this catfight lasts a long time.
Agree with poster 14. Yes, she knowingly helped a man commit adultery… but he was the one in a relationship, and ultimately, the truly deceitful one. It’s the entertainment industry… I don’t expect any shining examples of morality.
Well said, Aysla.
barbara is jewish enough said.
Panties must believe everything she reads.
It pains me to agree with Star, but I’ve got to. Barbara is grasping for her last shreds of a career — she’s a shadow of the great woman she once was. Time for her to head to Boca to live out the rest of her days.
barbara thinks she can take it with her. On her death bed she will still try to make a buck.
