Star Jones' Death Scare!
Star Jones recently revealed that at the young age of 19 doctors discovered a tumor in Jones' chest that could have been terminal!
Before surgically removing the tumor, doctors told Star she may only have 9 months to live!!
Even though the removal of the tumor saved her life, the former TV personality struggled immensely with the scar the surgery left behind.
"I was diagnosed with a tumor in my chest cavity… It left me with some physical scars and some emotional ones and I used to do everything in my power to hide the scar on the center of my chest," Star recalled. "I had a complete nervous breakdown, almost. Anxiety attack, crying because I saw my chest with stitches and sutures and it really devastated me."
Star was able to come to terms with the scar due to her father's support and reassurance!
You mean she wasn't birthed by Ursulla the Sea Witch and Donkey Kong????
Says Jones, “[He] said, ‘Baby, the way you’re built, the brothers aren’t looking at that scar.’ I’ll never forget it as long as I live. I thought to myself, ‘That man loves me.’”
We think Papa Jones was trying to tell Star that baby got back!
The former co-host of The View defended her decision to get gastric bypass surgery because the damage the radiation treatments that followed the tumor removal completely wrecked her thyroid.
The good ol' thyroid excuse!
"My thyroid was completely irradiated…So I saw myself balloon over the years and then that coupled with being lethargic and sedentary and overeating and relying on food, it just became an epidemic," Jones explained.
And what about Star's sit-down with the Big O?
“[Oprah] gives you a very safe place to share and sort of free yourself from demons …Oprah has been very candid about her weight struggles and I think it gave me a little bit of camaraderie to know that I was not just talking to her but I was talking to a number of her viewers who face the same struggle daily…” said Jones on her interview with the talk show queen set to air today, Wednesday.
Is Star Jones on her way to becoming an inspiration???
Who would have guessed!

Re: Melissa is always RIGHT – Do you smell something???? There is a distinctive putrid smell in here……………
As usual, you are an idiot Perez. You know…there actually are people that have thyroid problems. *GASP* Yet, of course, you always list it as an excuse. You need to get off your still fat ass and read up on it. I am so sick of you acting as if you know anything about health problems. Just because you lost a few pounds. Newsflash, you're still a fat bitch. Go drown in Teddy's cum.
Is Star Jones on her way to becoming an inspiration??? NO! NO! NO!

Re: KrazyKunoor – #5 Okay, okay, we get it!!!!!!!!!!
Just a hint dear, send Perez an email with your plea for help, he doesn't usually read those long posts… Too many big words!!!!
This hefer is trying to get some attention since her career is down the crapper so she follows Oprahs motto "when all fails bare your soul". Her weight gain was due to her eating like a hog and sitting on her fat ass all day and nothing else. Her "free pass" has ended which she hates with a vengence and everyone knows how she loves free. I see a book coming.

Re: RedWingsFan – Hi ya Redwings…have to say you sure are fugly
The Doctor who discovered this and treated her, should lose his license is what some people think? Not me of course?
My thyroid was completely irradiated…So I saw myself balloon over the years .. Is it ever these peoples own fault?
Re: Joolie40 – I've cleaned up a little since leaveing pakistan!
i guess starr is a little confused about the meaning of "epidemic"
Re: RedWingsFan – hahahahaha
Re: RedWingsFan – Hilarious!
I'm sure her dad was referring to her tits, not her ass.
Re: Joolie40 – Anytime I can make a hottie like you laugh,I've had my fun!
Does anyone even care what this selfish, self promoting witch does?
Tumor? TUMOR? That was no tumor! That was a Whopper with Cheese!
i wish this tacky gaudy weird looking bag of fat and flabby skin would go away. I don't like to think about this ugly fur hag.
Re: RedWingsFan – Ahhh thanks Red…I will be watching you……
Ok ! I have SO had it with this boorish womans sense of entitlement! She is just so unlikeable. To sponsor your wedding out is just the most vulgar thing i've ever witnessed. People that were 'invited' to the wedding were ashamed to attend. Very sorted business.
Having an underactive thyroid isn't an excuse, it is a real medical issue. It would be nice if people who didn't have to deal with thyroid problems would take the time to understand it's not something that can be easily fixed, or that you can lose the weight if you just try hard enough. Trust me, that isn't the case. If your thyroid doesn't work, the weight will not come off, no matter how many hours a day you spend on the treadmill. It's an enormously frustrating condition to live with, aside from the weight gain there are all sorts of other symptoms and side effects including infertility, and people who just write it off as a fat person's excuse to eat too much make it all that much harder to live with.
Re: Melissa is always RIGHT – My words exactly.
Yeah, she just happened to have a tumor removed and that was responsible for her being fat all these years. What a liar.
I saw her interview on Oprah (and believe me I am no Star Jones fan) and she seemed really humble. She did not even mention the thyroid issue and said that she was addicted to food and it was all her fault. She also did not diss the View (at least that I saw) and said she was sorry she put her co-workers in the position of lying. She really appeared different than when she was at her most obnoxious on The View
What a crock of shit. Did she have a physician or a psychic? There's no one on this green earth who can tell a person how long they have to live without even removing or staging cancer, and even then it's a guessing game unless it's down to days. I'm betting the "scare" was one of her implants migrated to the center of her chest.
Health crises can really mess with your life in ways that you can't foresee.
She became a lawyer anyway, and nabbed a hosting spot on mainstream T.V. plus other good things. I'd say she's overcome, and then some. It's never the easy stuff that builds character. Star's working it o-u-t, as Randy Jackson would say. I like her persona, overall.
I've never been a Star Jones fan, but I saw her on Oprah today and was surprised at how real, honest and likable she was. Too bad this is what it took, but if had spoken in the past as she did today, I think she would have a lot more fans. I hope it wasn't ingenuous, but I was truly impressed. I don't see how anyone with an ounce of compassion wouldn't have felt the same.
she's still an ugly piece of lying (now trying to back track her obvious lies) piece of black trash shit…where does she live now??? Jersey???
Re: grapeseed – she's still a delusional liar..that needs TONNES more therapy..when asked about what she had done after all that weight loss, and she said just a breast lift and tummy tuck…BULL!!
you went from over 300 pounds to what you claim you are now, 150 pounds, but you also went to say that you lost "a person" and "your body is still young enough with enough elasticity to stretch back into shap"…that is such crap, honey you had to get your arms sucked and ass tightened, and lord knows what else, get back to us when you get another year of therapy and know what living in the real world and the world TRUTH means, cause you still ain't fooling noone but yourself
are you sure they removed the tumor??? because is huge everyday! hahahaha I think is growing up like a baby!
