Geraldo Apologizes To Bette Midler — But Also Says He Remembers Alleged Nonconsensual Drugging & Groping Incident Differently…
After Geraldo Rivera came out swinging to defend Matt Lauer against sexual assault and harassment, it didn't take long for him to be implicated in his own scandal.
It came in the form of a 1991 interview in which Bette Midler told Barbara Walters about the time she says Geraldo and his producer pushed her into a bathroom, drugged her, and "groped" her.

Sadly, 1991 was not 2017, and nothing ever came of the accusation.
But Bette was paying attention and noted on Twitter that Geraldo had never spoken to her about the incident, writing:
