Star Jones admits she had gastric bypass surgery and was “intentionally evasive” when questions were asked.
“[T]he complete truth is, I was scared of what people might think of me,” she continues. “I was afraid to be vulnerable, and ashamed at not being able to get myself under control without this procedure.”
“I used to look in [...]

I feel all nostalgic now; there’s news about Star Jones! Well, sort of. On a press tour for her new show, she evaded questions about her weight loss, then promised to explain all:
“I know that people are curious,” Jones admitted. “I’ve changed completely from the way I looked when I first started in television and [...]
