The ladies of The View sounded off on comments made by their former co-host Star Jones in an interview with Oprah Winfrey on Wednesday. The ousted television pundit admitted that she asked her former co-hosts to lie about her then-secret gastric bypass surgery.

On yesterday’sOprah, Star was asked to react to a previous clip of Barbara Walters. In the clip, Star’s former boss could be heard saying her secret surgery caused The View audience to feel “uncomfortable” and unable to “relate” to Star anymore.

“I’m so sorry that I placed a burden on my colleagues. I never asked them to lie,” Star said.

“I’m going to take a bypass. … Good luck to her,” Joy Behar said on Thursday’s show. “We had to cover for her. We had to say [her weight loss] was from diet and exercise which it wasn’t.”

“We really do wish her well,” Barbara replied simply.
