TV talk show host Barabara Walters appeared on Oprah yesterday to promote her new book. In addition to admitting she had an affair with a brother, Walters said she hated that she and the other women on The View were forced to lie about former cohost Star Jones‘ gastric bypass operation:
Walters says that it was tough for the panelists on the View to lie when Jones refused to discuss her gastric bypass surgery – but she did so anyway. “We had to lie on the set everyday,” Walters told Winfrey. “She was our colleague and she really did not want us to out her … We cared about her, and we thought we owed her.” Instead, Jones told audience members at the time she had lost weight because of “portion control and pilates.” (Source)
