Blind Items Revealed #2

May 6, 2016

I have written once before about this news legend/icon who is suffering from memory loss and early dementia. She was at some event a few weeks ago and started telling a story and got to a certain point in the story and started again and then did it once more. It was really sad to see.

Barbara Walters

  1. Never liked Barbara, but too bad she's going through this.

    Bad health, heart attacks.. too much booze.. too many operations and medications; selfishly pleasing herself, cheating, getting her way and not considering the feelings, rights or respect for family but agreeable and kind to friends and co-workers.. Barbara Walters, a pioneer in broadcast journalism, said one regret she has when it comes to her personal life is not spending more time with her daughter, Jackie.

    “I was so busy with a career. It’s the age-old problem,” Walters, 84, said in an interview that will air on the upcoming ABC News special, “Barbara Walters: Her Story.” “And, you know, on your deathbed, are you going to say, ‘I wish I spent more time in the office?’ No. You’ll say, ‘I wish I spent more time with my family,’ and I do feel that way. I wish I had spent more time with my Jackie.”

    In an interview with her longtime business partner, Bill Geddie, Walters spoke candidly about how her award-winning career affected relationships, and how, despite suffering miscarriages, she still desperately wanted a child.
    For why?!!! Stand there don't bother me now as I am important... I'm busy.. ask the maid or nanny if you need something. HUUMP

    I don't feel sorry for this woman.
    She only had her own best interest in mind and no one else.

    So sad. She made watching The View very uncomfortable.

  6. Let's hope that she doesn't forget that she has a daughter. It's hard for everyone if cannot remember your own family and all.

    When I worked for ABC-TV in NYC in the 80s, Barbara had her own personal, private elevator that went from the lobby to her office floor. Heaven help the person who did not know it was hers and got on it when Barbara was around! I saw guards shaking in their boots when she got on one of her tangents. An awful, nasty woman that no one at ABC liked. Karma is a bitch, Babs.

    I heard the same thing from a friend of mine who does catering in the Hamptons. She's a horrible person, not nice at all.

    Barbara Walters "interview" with John and Patsy Ramsey in 2000 was so bad and so softball, the Governor of Colorado, Bill Owens, demanded and got, equal time on ABC. They shoved him on GMA , not prime time, where the 20/20 offending piece was.

  14. She's about 30 years past the age that would make her dementia early. "Mild" would be a more apt description.

  15. Babs is way too old to have "early dementia"!
