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" â" 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.
