Star Jones is speaking out against Barbara Walters for including her in her new memoir, Audition.

In the book, Walters claims Jones forced her to lie about her gastric bypass surgery on The View. Walters also reveals that she had an affair with then-married Senator Edward Brooke during the 1970s.

Usmagazine.com caught up with Jones (who recently split from husband Al Reynolds) as she left a tennis workout in NYC Wednesday.

“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.”

Watch Walters discuss Jones with Oprah Winfrey here.

Now for something completely different.......

[Tamar1973]

If Barbara Wawa wasn’t married to someone at the time, she is not the adulteress. A slut maybe, but not an adulteress.

[Loyal Buckeye]

I would say Star pretty much nailed it.

[bill1952]

“It speaks to her true character.”

Yes, it does.
Many of us have been saying this for decades Star, but you only take note when you are in the fire zone?

[donna]

Fornicator!

[Revolting cat!]

[Tamar1973]

They’re both liars. They deserve each other.

[Jonah Johansen]

He was married,at the time.
Correct?

In any case she reveals herself as a shameless and pathetic political groupie(groupie in the sense of its original meaning)

[Biblebelter]

Barbara Walters was a parasite that fed off of celebrities. In her golden years, she has finally became enough of a celebrity to be feeding off her own blood. Quite a trick, parasite and host all contained in the best shell of a body cosmetic surgery can buy.

[Revolting cat!]

I've gotta tell ya, I've no ideer who this Star Jones is. Is she a famous writer?

[The Ghost of Rudy McRomney]

Walters always was a dope-smoking (and snorting) slut. The media just covered for her. I remember she filled in for Johnny Carson for a week and came out the first night in a dress with a see-through top.

[Eurale]

Star’s PO’d because it was with a powerful black man.

[The Ghost of Rudy McRomney]

People like Whoopi and Rosie are more up her alley as far as political beliefs go.

[weegee]

What was Babawa Wawa’s take on the Clinton-Monica story and the rapes and sexual harassment and affairs? “It’s just sex”? “It’s a private matter”?

[ClearBlueSky]

How old is Baba Wawa? 70’s, 80’s?
Why would she think ANYONE cares who an old lady did years ago? Talk about a pathetic bid for attention: ‘ I screwed famous people’. You’ll notice NO one is bragging about bedding her!
The only thing sadder than a skank is an old, wrinkled, skank.

[Question Liberal Authority]

Star’s PO’d because it was with a powerful black man.

HOLY CRAP!

I've been listening to the drive-by's making fun of this story for days and I had no idea he was black.

Republican, sure. It's always "then-married Republican Senator Edward Brooke".

"Star’s PO’d because it was with a powerful black man."

Apparently not to powerful as he didn't win his bid for re-election.

I was getting ready to start tonight's barbecue.....now I'm gonna' have to wait 'til I can clear that image out of my mind.
