Star Jones calls View ladies "hateful"

"On Wednesday, March 17th, a pre-planned cardiac surgery was performed on Star Jones," her rep said in a statement. "The procedure was successful and she is recovering well with her family. Star is grateful for everyone's thoughts and prayers."

The surgery was a follow-up to surgery Jones had in her teens for a thoracic tumor, her rep said. Thoracic surgery repairs organs in the thorax, or chest.
