WALTERS’ AFFAIR WITH MARRIED SENATOR ALMOST ENDED HER CAREER
U.S. broadcaster BARBARA WALTERS has confessed to a passionate affair with a married senator during the 1970s - but she ended it after it almost destroyed her career.
In her upcoming memoirs, Auditions, Walters admits to an affair with former Massachusetts Senator Edward Brooke following the breakdown of her two previous marriages.
Walters claims Brooke, the first black member of the U.S. Senate since Reconstruction, was so in love with her he told his wife he wanted a divorce. But when his wife tried to reveal the affair to the National Enquirer, the couple ended the relationship.
She writes, "I slowly began asking myself if we could ever be married. Would such a marriage destroy his career? Would it destroy mine?" The 78-year-old also writes about Star Jones’ "lies" and Rosie O’Donnell’s "diva-like" antics.
