Star Jones Shares Health Update 15 Years After Heart Surgery

Star Jones, a 63-year-old TV host of Divorce Court and former lawyer, shared an update about her 2010 open-heart surgery after a heart disease diagnosis.
She suffered severe heart palpitations, dizziness, and other symptoms that ultimately led doctors to perform open-heart surgery, during which her heart was stopped for 22 minutes.
Jones described the surgery as terrifying and said it compelled her to face her mortality, after which she spent two weeks recovering and embracing a heart-healthy lifestyle.
Jones emphasized that while open-heart surgery was crucial to saving her life, it was her increased awareness of her cardiovascular risks and dedication to her wellbeing that truly restored her health, as she led Medtronic's 'Letter to My Mother' campaign.
She has advocated for heart health over 15 years, urging women to recognize symptoms and start conversations about heart disease risks to improve awareness nationwide.
