Geraldo Rivera tweeted an apology to actress Bette Midler after she posted a video of an interview from 1991 where she accused him of drugging her and groping her in the 1970s. Rivera said he recalled the incident much different than the way Midler does, but he still apologizes for his actions.

I don’t think he was groping her vocal chords.

Your right.I remember meeting a local station Director. He asked me to meet him for lunch the next day.I told him I don’t eat lunch but would have a cup of tea.Showed up at the TV station and he was gone.The woman anchors were showing up in limo’s.Found out later he found out I couldn’t be bought.It’s a male game of power.Grope worthy remarks are pathetic. Rivera should have been arrested.

No, no ... you missed the memo. We’re supposed to agree with the men that Bette Midler is unattractive, and therefore she’s lying, or if she’s not lying, she should have been grateful that Geraldo bothered.

Mark my words, women are going to come out of this mess even more disregarded and devalued than they were before the Weinstein story blew.

Lol!

It’s high time that “some people” face up to the fact that perv mustaches, shirtless selfies, and cringeworthy come ons are NOT ATTRACTIVE!!

And if I were forced to judge a beauty contest between a young Midler and a young Geraldo?
Bette wins - no contest!!!

“It caused those facilities to be wholesale closed”

I think you give him too much credit. The entire leftard shrinkology movement was in on that one.

He grabs Bette Midler’s boobs, beds every conceivable underling, and waxes about failing to have sex with Barbara Walters. I read it all so you didn’t have to.

Threesomes with young interns in the studio boiler room. Making out with a PA in front of an entire news crew. Receiving oral sex from the estranged wife of the Canadian prime minister in a Central Park rowboat.
These sexual misadventures of one prominent media man could prompt even the most cosmopolitan among us to clutch at our necks for pearls. But I’m not talking about Roger Ailes, Bill O’Reilly, Mark Halperin, or even Matt Lauer. I’m talking Geraldo Rivera.

His biggest crime is calling himself a republican.

He owes all republicans a major apology.

And, Al Capone???

He was a democrat. Proof? He took from people what wasn’t his, just like democrats do by “taking” (taxing) and spending other people’s money. But, Capone was a “good democrat”, because “he actually worked hard” to get what he had.

He grows taller.

I wondered when that would come up. I watched that interview in 1991. I remember later on watching Whorealdo mockingly laugh it off. Bette Midler was never laughing. Now he’s apologizing.

Yes, I am aware of her version, and it is indeed quite beautiful. But in my opinion it is too soft, and is sung more as a poem than a song. I just think Bette Midler’s version is more powerful, and it grabs me more than Amanda McBroom’s version.
