Star Jones may be talking bad about her former "The View" boss Barbara Walters, but Walters is taking the high road and remaining kind. Jones is upset with Walters for talking about her in Walter's new memoir called "Audition."

Walters told AP radio Friday that Jones is "going through a difficult time right now" and she doesn't want to "add to her difficulties." Jones is currently going through a divorce.

Talk show host Star Jones left "The View" almost two years ago on rocky terms with boss Barbara Walters, and despite the length of time things are still rocky. Jones is now criticizing Walters for writing about her in Walter's new memoir "Audition."

In the book Walters discusses how Jones would not acknowledge on the air that she had gastric bypass surgery. Jones had the surgery in 2003.

Former "View" co-host Star Jones has filed for divorce from her husband Al Reynolds. Jones and Reynolds, a banker who is seven years younger than his wife, were married in a fantasy wedding ceremony in 2004.

Jones released a statement to "Entertainment Tonight" saying, "Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life. A month ago I filed for divorce. The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone's life that requires privacy with one's thoughts."
