Furious that the queen of morning yentas, Barbara Walters, would have the audacity to ask the “are you/were you a lesbian” question in front of her parents, Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross is furious with Barbara Walters and vows never to look at her again.

Married to Tom Mahoney back in June, Cross has battled scurrilous tabloid rumors and reports in the past that speculated about her sexuality.

Walters, no shrinking violet to any controversy, decided to head on the question to Cross in a recent appearance on the scandal plagued The View.

Cross stated:"My parents were in town. My father, who's 80-something, and my mother were in the front row of the audience. When I got backstage, Barbara Walters came up to me and said (beforehand), 'You know, I have to ask you about this.'

"And I said, 'Why do you have to ask me about this?' And she said, 'Well, it's news.'

"At which point my publicist came in and we sorted out how to deal with it."

She is old and mean spirited and they call that news worthy, she is miserable and want other to be the same. Look at her adopted daughter???? I never like BW, I'll take StarJ over her, her voice annoys the stuffings out of me. Marcia spit on her.
