Barbara Walters had an affair with Senator Edward Brooke in the 70’s!  Edward Brooke was the first black person to be elected to the Senate by popular vote.  Wow!!!  He must have been really popular (especially with the ladies!).  Brooke was married at the time of the affair.

Barbara talks about the affair on an episode of Oprah airing this Tuesday.  Barbara says the affair went on for several years, and they both knew that it could ruin their careers if the public found out.  She told Oprah, “He was exciting. He was brilliant. It was exciting times in Washington.”  The affair later ended in 1978, and Brooke later got a divorce from his wife.

Wow!!!  Who knew Barbara was such a skank!!  I love it!
