NEW YORK—Bette Midler asked for an apology from Geraldo Rivera and she got one. Midler reminded the public of the first time she revealed her accusation against Rivera in a 1991 interview with Barbara Walters, which she posted to Twitter. They broke two poppers and pushed them under my nose and proceeded to grope me,” Midler told Walters. “I did not offer myself up on the altar of Geraldo Rivera,” said Midler, calling his behaviour “unseemly.” Also Friday, Rivera apologized for a memoir published a quarter-century ago that recounts sexual experiences he says he’s now “embarrassed” about. Rivera’s post follows a tweet on Thursday by Bette Midler renewing an allegation of being drugged and groped by Rivera and his producer colleague in the 1970s.
