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:

A lot of Matt Lauer's coworkers are expressing their shock at his firing — but from the sound of it, they really should have seen this coming.

We mean, Katie Couric told Andy Cohen he pinched her ass too much FIVE YEARS AGO!

One fellow newsman who thinks Matt's conduct is just par for the course? Geraldo Rivera.

The talk show host-turned-Fox News pundit took to Twitter to defend Lauer, saying news is "a flirty business" — and we should be careful about judging too quickly what's sexual harassment.

He wrote:

John Oliver traded ruffling Donald Trump's feathers on Sunday night for tickling Geraldo Rivera's mustache.

It all started with a Last Week Tonight segment about how ridiculous some pundits were being in their praise for Drumpf after the "Mother of all Bombs" drop.

Oliver pointed to Rivera specifically, whose Fox & Friends appearance was full of bizarre adulation, including wistfully remembering a dangerous elementary school bully and saying Trump was like that for the world — and, no shit, he meant it as a compliment!

But when he said one of his favorite things was watching bombs fall on "bad guys," that's when the HBO star made it personal, quipping:

Who says something like this?!

Early Sunday morning marked another tragic event in our country as a man by the name of Omar Mateen opened fire on a gay night club in Orlando, Florida killing 50 — including himself — as well as injuring 53 more.

While we've received quite a few updates and details about the incident — including a possible connection to ISIS — it seems the one thing we could REALLY do without is Geraldo Rivera and the rest of the peanut gallery at Fox and Friends' commentary.

On Monday morning, Geraldo appeared on Fox News to cover the terrible incident that occurred over the weekend.

We've already heard some awful responses, like Donald Trump's asinine comments about wanting to use more bombs and limit Muslims in our country, but the controversial reporter made sure to cover all the offensive bases Trump missed by suggesting the victims could have done more to protect themselves!

Much like Trump, the Dancing With The Stars alum threw some shade Barack Obama's way before saying:

We're so happy that Dancing With The Stars is back in full swing, and Monday night brought us some more AH-Mazing performances and emotional moments.

One of the highlights/most ridiculous dances of the night was Geraldo Rivera's Salsa dance with Edyta Sliwinska. Not only is Geraldo a stiff dancer, but for his number the reporter decided to dress up as Donald Trump. LOLz!

But it wasn't all silliness as Mischa Barton has apparently been feeling a bit stressed out from her rehearsals. After the OC actress' routine, she dished on her rough time and was reportedly seen wiping away tears after the judges critiqued her dance with partner Artem Chigvintsev (below).

Ch-ch-check out the other highlights including Jodie Sweetin's Samba, Nyle DiMarco and Peta Murgatroyd's Rumba, as well as the first contestant being sent home (below)!

The cast of celebrities and partners being announced earlier this week has gotten us extra excited for the new season of Dancing With The Stars.

Even though we might have our favorite picked out, there are certainly some "celebs" that stick out more than others — as they seem like an odd choice for the show!

Remember Paula Deen last season?

Donald Trump's ex-wife Marla Maples – to whom the businessman was married for six years and with whom he has one daughter Tiffany Trump – was definitely an interesting selection for the show.

Then again, when you're in your 22nd season, you've gotta stretch the definition of "star" sometimes!

While Trump has mainly been known to run his mouth and say absolutely AWFUL things about people — and often entire groups of people — the politician had some kind words for his former spouse as he told People:

He must be so relieved!

Last week Fox News journalist Geraldo Rivera revealed on live TV that his daughter Simone, who is studying abroad, had been at the soccer stadium that was targeted during the attacks in Paris, France.

On Monday the concerned father traveled to Paris so he could make sure the 21-year-old was safe.

As you can imagine, the 72-year-old was filled with relief as he hugged and kissed his little girl. Once the journalist went back to work, he shared the experience of seeing his daughter again, saying:

"It was an amazing relief just to squeeze her and to know that she was safe. Of course we had exchanged text messages after a frustrating failure to communicate during the awful incident on Friday night. All I can say is that the Rivera family is tremendously relieved, but we mourn so much for the other families that have suffered so much here … This was a really severe, horrible blow to the soul of the French people."

Ch-ch-check out the wonderfully touching moment (below) as we keep in our hearts all those affected by the terrible events last week.
