In 1997, Jones joined The View as one of its original four co-hosts. Jones’s nine-season tenure on The View was marked by controversy at times. Jones, who had been diagnosed as morbidly obese, began to undergo dramatic weight loss beginning in 2003. In a September 2007 essay in Glamour magazine, she revealed that she had undergone gastric bypass surgery in August 2003, resulting in a loss of 160 pounds (73 kilograms) over three years. Many criticized Jones for her initial dishonesty when she claimed she had lost weight via diet and exercise. Barbara Walters told Oprah Winfrey in May 2008 that she had kept Jones’ gastric bypass surgery a secret because Jones had asked her to, and that lying on the show turned the audience off.

ABC, Barbara Walters and Bill Geddie then told Jones she could go out on “her own terms”. They had collectively decided for Jones to announce her impending departure on Thursday, June 29, 2006, but Jones surprised her co-hosts by announcing it two days earlier on Tuesday, June 27, 2006 when they returned from their first commercial break that she would be leaving the show. She stated that she would remain on the show through July, and she would not return in the fall. She did not reveal during her announcement that her contract wasn’t renewed. After Jones revealed her departure live on air, co-host Joy Behar jokingly said, “Who am I going to fight with now?” to which Jones replied, “I have a feeling you’ll have someone else to fight with.”
