Star Jones' Surgery Confession

Filed under: Star Jones

mx0063575.jpg

Star Jones is finally opening up about the gastric bypass operation she had that helped her lose half her body weight.

Oh yeah, she also has a new TV show to promote. Coincidence!

"Everything about me was already so public (mostly my own doing — talk about dumb!), so of course everyone wanted to know what I had done," she writes in a self-penned piece in the August issue of Glamour magazine. "I was also terrified someone would have a tragic result after emulating me without making an informed decision with her doctor. But the complete truth is, I was scared of what people might think of me. I was afraid to be vulnerable, and ashamed at not being able to get myself under control without this procedure."

Star admits that she took her food addiction to an unhealthy extreme.

Her out-of-control behavior began around her 40th birthday in March 2002, she said. Feeling lonely, she self-medicated with food and gained 75 lbs. over the course of 17 months.

Impressive!

"I used to look in the mirror and take pride in my figure, but that was when I was legitimately a full-figured woman," she says. "I'd gradually gone from full-figured to morbidly obese."

With the encouragement of her then-new-husband Big Gay Al, Star had the gastric bypass in August of 2003.

Star has now come to the realization that she "couldn't control what others thought" about her or her fagulous husband.

P.S. NO ONE believed you lost all that weight through pilates, honey. No one!

      Well we knew she had the gastric bypass whether she admitted it or not. But at her weight, it was unhealthy to do something about it and I think she made the right choice. Other women who are extremely obese may follow suit and have their own second chance at a healthy and longer life, not to mention an incredible amount of self esteem. And there's nothing wrong with that.

      28

      Big deal , we all knew she had the surgery, why the big production of "coming clean" now, it her 5 minutes (or should I say seconds) of fame starting to come to an end and this is her way of staying in the media. Give me a break, you were fat, now you are thin, get over it, you are still annoying. Go back to practising law, we all liked you better when you were behind the scenes.

      31

      SHAME ON YOU STAR! I know several people that have gone through the "gastic bp" surgery. It was a very big and BRAVE decision to do. You made yourself look MORE pathetic and got MORE attention by trying to tell everyone that you lost the weight "doing" pilates" and "eating right". NONE of us believed you! And now this desperate attempt to "come clean" (aka get attention) is even more pathetic.

      Long toe nails is THE MOST DISGUSTING thing in the world. I don't care if they're pedicured by the best, I'd rather give a full body massage to a leper than even be in the same room as long toenails. GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

      To Number 20!!! I have had the Lap Band too! DAMN proud of it myself. Whoever says it's the easy way out is full of shit!!! It's merely a method of teaching you how to eat. I am now at my goal and look FABULOUS!

      Good for Star! You go girl! Gastric Bypass Surgery is not an easy thing to undergo, and many complications can insue. Now if she can keep the weight off, that will be the big test.

    41. nett says – reply to this


      41

      This is hardly news! We all knew how she lost the weight. Even crack couldn't help you lose that weight so quick! When she sat on view and said it was diet & pilates I lost all respect for that chick.

      Gotta get her mug in the headlines somehow cause her new show is soon airing.

      You can change the packaging all you want — but a BITCH IS A BITCH IS STILL A BITCH!!

      I wouldn't shed any tears if this cow died. Her friends have been too stupid to realize — She's a user. All that 'southern charm' — pure bullshit. She's vicious. Look forward to her show bombing.

    52. elaine says – reply to this


      52

      Telling the 'truth' four years after the fact isn't confessing, it's being caught., As a completely fabricated personality, who's as phony as a two dollar bill, her long time silence and denial about gastric bypass surgery was and is an insult to anyone who wached her. The book is phoney, the husband is phoney and so is she. Ugggh.

      53

      well surprise..surprise..who didn't know this..
      celebs are such liars,,only try to tell truth when it suits them, which is usually when they have a project to promote, ,,her court tv show deputs I believe the first or 2nd week of August..

      go away Star…

      54

      What the hell is wrong with being over weight. I am overweight and I am happy with myself and so is my husband. If you are so damn insecure abou yourself then get the damn surgery, but don't make fun of those who have enough self confidence to carry themselves in all their chunkiness. and learn how to spell.

      Like we didn't know this fat ugly bitch didn't have the gastric bypass. She is so ugly she looks like a transvestite…but in reality, tranvestites are more attractive. And it is sad to me that she married a gay guy just to get married too.

      The betrayal was to the tens of thousands of morbidly obese women . SJ's unending profession of "portion control" and "exercise." left obese The View fans like me who failed over and over wondering " why isn't it working?" Instead of her as phoney as she is promotional "confession" why not "come out" on her "marriage" to BGA?

      79

      The problem with Star Jones is she does not come across as a sincere person. Never liked her on The View, and still don't like her now. She's very consumed with her image, and she believed that people respected her, say like Oprah! Boy was she wrong — and she's just now waking up to the fact. So, by "coming clean" about her surgery, she's trying to make her way back into the public scene. Watch — she'll divorce "Big Gay Al", write a tell all book, and end up doing infomercials for weight loss.

      82

      This chick can talk her way out of a paper bag, she is so full of shit sometimes e.g. interviews after being "fired" from the View…she is so full of shit sometimes! Everyone suspected Star had the GBS, and they were right! Her show should be debuting soon so she needs to stir up some media attention. Word of advice to Star; admitting your faults is no big deal, it shows humility and weaknesses that can be battled and won, be grateful that you could afford such a surgery.

Because it's really not….. it's all about the dollar for her…just another way to squeeze some more time from the limelight. I have never fancied her in the least bit… she is extremly full of herself and just an all around annoying beeyotch!

    91. Al says – reply to this


      91

      Did she really think we couldn't see the tell tale scar on her chest while she was on the view. She kept trying to cover it up with those stick on sparkly skin stickers and necklaces!! Please! And for all those people that looked up to her and she continued to mislead "her audience" with silence and inuendo. NOT THAT ANYONE BELIEVED AFTER EATING HER WAY TO THAT WEIGHT SHE THEN LOST IT BY NOT EATING & EXERCISE - WAKE UP STAR JONES AND GET A REAL NAME.

      92

      Perez…your dates are wrong. Big Gay Al was not Star's then-new-husband in August 2003. They were married in fall of 2004. She was already losing weight before the wedding. In August 2003, I am not sure whether they were even a couple.
