I think she should keep her "affairs" private. This is just a way of making more money and revealing some of her PRIVATE situations. At this time in her life she should be living on her memories and enjoying them.

I never thought she was a woman of this caliber to stoop to revealing all in a book. I always looked at her as a real LADY!! but I gues that does not exist anymore.

How is Barbara Walter's revalation going to affect people? First, because she's written a book and there's scandal in it, some people will buy it because they live for this crap! (They need to get a life!) Brooke's first wife is now dead, so at best, all she can do is spin in her grave. Question: Did Brooke's first wife have brothers, sisters, nieces or nephews? And if so, what will they get? The answer: Nothing....absolutely nothing....other than some possible embarassment. Brooke had two daughters from his first marriage. For years after Brooke divorced his first wife, the relationship with his daughters was strained, to say the least. These are the two women I feel most sorry for. Barbara's revalations will hurt these two women the most, and because of this, I don't think much of Barbara Walters. She proved that she had questionable morals when she had this affair, and she now proves that she is willing to put money and profits (from book sales) above hurting other people.

No one is perfect, but there are just some things in life that we clearly know are wrong. When our actions hurt other people and that doesn't bother us, then I have no use for that person. Barbara Walters has the morality of an alley cat, and I'm not sure why she would want to publicize that. I guess there must be a point where money (book profits) trump morality, self-respect, and whether or not your actions will hurt other people. Shame on Barbara! Shame on Oprah! And shame on anyone who eats this kind of trash up because they have no life!

I think that was the better way. People tend to want make things that private salicious gossip. They jump to conclusions and want to make fun of people who have experienced. They do not tend to want to help just to joy in someone else's suffering. That has been my experience, we all have pain the better thing is not to talk about it with so called friends and to also be weary of the professionals we consult with for help. The society we live in has that tendency as well to look at the suffering of others and take pleasure it.
