Who Knew Barbara Walters Had a Lil Skank in Her?

I love this story! On this Tuesday’s edition of The Oprah Winfrey show, the classy Ms. Barbara Walters admits to being a homewrecking whore with Senator Edward Brooke, the first black person elected to the Senate by popular vote.

Barbara Walters has confessed to having a relationship with then-married Senator Edward Brooke during the 1970s. The View host called Brooke “exciting” and “brilliant” – and tells Winfrey, “I was certainly infatuated … It was exciting times in Washington.”

Walters never talked about her relationship for fear that it would damage her career. Talking to Winfrey, she recounts a phone call with a friend who warned her, “This is going to come out. This is going to ruin your career … This is going to ruin him. You’ve got to break this off.’”

Walters’s affair with Brooke ended before the senator lost his bid for a third term in 1978. Brooke was later divorced but has subsequently remarried.

Hang the dirty laundry out to dry, babe! I love Barbara Walters. I admire her longevity in her career as one of the first prominent female mainstream broadcast journalists. But who knew she was a ho?! I can’t wait to read her book. I’m sure it’s delicious.
