This video shows Star Jones returning to The View five years after she left the show as a host. Her departure was, at the time, mired in controversy. but surely no one would bring that up in 2012…
Oh, they did. Damn. Barbara Walters questioned Jones on her leaving the show, trying to get the truth out about her essentially being fired but choosing to leave on her own terms. And Joy Behar asked why Jones had covered up her gastric bypass, the real reason she lost loads of weight.
Whatever! Blimey, it’s been five years since this all blew up and you’d think everyone involved would be over it by now. But apparently not.
Walters especially seemed keen to discuss the past in great detail. But then she’s so old she only really has the past. So it’s understandable.
