Bette Midler accused Geraldo Rivera of groping her in the '70s in a newly-resurfaced interview with Barbara Walters from 1991.

The clip, which went viral on Twitter after reporter Yashar Ali shared it, shows Midler recounting an encounter with Rivera and an unnamed producer before an interview they both took part in.

"Groped me," she continued when Walters pressed her for details. "I did not offer myself up on the altar of Geraldo Rivera. He was … he was unseemly."

The clip comes after Rivera tweeted his support of ousted "Today" anchor Matt Lauer and called the news industry a "flirty" business. He has since apologized for the statement.

On Thursday, Midler reacted to the clip going viral with a popular tweet: "Tomorrow is my birthday. I feel like this video was a gift from the universe to me. Geraldo may have apologized for his tweets supporting Matt Lauer, but he has yet to apologize for this. #MeToo"

"We were in the bathroom preparing for the interview," he wrote at the time. "And at some point I put my hands on her breasts."
