I found this article from last year. I now take back all the nice things I said about Geraldo. A man with children who has a shack-up honey gets no respect from me.
Geraldo Rivera's love life made it into the New York Post on Thursday, prompted by news he had arranged a Manhattan home for a woman less than half his age.
Here?s an excerpt from the February 22 "Page Six" item by Richard Johnson, Paula Froelich and Chris Wilson, plugged by Jim Romenesko's MediaNews:
Geraldo Rivera has set up a luxury love nest for his new galpal, 25-year-old CNBC producer Erica Levy.
Rivera, 57, is lavishing Levy with an apartment at one of Donald Trump's luxury buildings in the East 60s, and has showered her with thousands of dollars worth of pricey jewelry and couture clothing, sources tell PAGE SIX.
The comely Cleveland native is currently sharing an apartment with two female pals in Murray Hill. She is supposed to move into her new uptown abode on April 9. We're told the pad is in Levy's name, but it's not clear if Geraldo is buying or renting it for her.
Levy's parents are said to be less than thrilled that their pretty brunette daughter has taken up with Rivera.
"Geraldo's older than Erica's father," sniffs a pal of Levy's. "Her parents aren't very happy that she's been seeing him. They know about his reputation with women."...
Levy also managed to nab a plum assignment as a producer on Rivera's "Geraldo Voyager" specials for the Travel Channel, which airs four new sailing specials this fall....
It isn't clear whether Rivera will move in with Levy. Sources say that contrary to published reports, Levy never "moved in" with him in Malibu. "She still lives in New York," says a pal. "She stayed there when she was out there with him. That was it."
Geraldo, who hosts "Rivera Live" on CNBC, has a history with twentysomething gals named "Erica" who work for him.
His dalliance with another eye-catching employee, Erica Pressman, 27, was blamed for the break-up a while ago with his long-suffering wife, C.C. Dyer.
Dyer booted Rivera out of their New Jersey home after she found photographs of him on his 70-foot sailboat with the busty blonde Pressman, who worked as a publicist for the defunct syndicated talk show "Geraldo."...
