A Surprising Revelation Emerges About Barbara Walters’ Past
By Extra-Ordinary Women
Barbara Walters, a renowned interviewer who engaged with celebrities, presidents, and royalty throughout her illustrious career, was celebrated for her captivating life stories. Lately, some of her more intriguing anecdotes have come to light, with the latest revelation being perhaps the most astonishing of all. During a recent appearance by Joy Behar on Sherri Shepherd’s show, the two former co-hosts of “The View” delved into a surprising secret about the legendary newswoman.
The conversation was initiated by Sherri Shepherd, who admitted to having been somewhat fearful of Barbara Walters. In contrast, Joy Behar had never hesitated to confront the show’s creator and star. Shepherd revealed that she had shared a peculiar encounter with comedian Paul Mooney, during which Mooney claimed to have stumbled upon Walters and Richard Pryor in a compromising situation.
As they recounted this decades-old alleged incident, Behar couldn’t help but ask, “She slept with Richard Pryor?” Sherri confirmed the story, responding, “Yes, that’s what Paul Mooney said.” Intrigued by this unbelievable revelation, Joy Behar decided to confront Walters about it the following day at work.
While it’s impossible to verify the accuracy of this claim, it appears that Barbara Walters may have had a much more adventurous side than her polished television persona ever revealed.
