Update (1:50 P.M.):

Geraldo Rivera tweeted an apology to Bette Midler Friday for an alleged incident of inappropriate sexual behavior that she described in a resurfaced 1991 interview with Barbara Walters. In his tweet, Rivera said he recalls the event “much differently” than Midler and apologized for, “in the very least, publicly embarrassing her all those years ago.”

Vanity Fair has reached out to Midler for comment.

Original story begins below.

On Wednesday, Fox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera posted a series of tweets in which he defended Matt Lauer, who had been fired from the Today show following reports that Lauer had displayed “inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace.” Rivera later apologized for his defense of Lauer, but his apology was too little, too late for Bette Midler who, in her own tweet, reminded her followers of an incident she says she experienced with Rivera years ago. The interview resurfaced Wednesday and was trending after Geraldo’s comments.

“Tomorrow is my birthday,” Midler wrote in her tweet, alongside a video of a 1991 interview she did with Barbara Walters. “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.”

In the interview, Midler describes an encounter with Rivera, which she said took place in the early 70s.

“No, I better not; I’m gonna get in trouble,” Midler began in the interview before Walters encouraged her: “Well, get in a little trouble.”

“O.K., get in a little trouble,” Midler said. “Well, Geraldo and his producer came to do an interview with me . . . This is when he was very sort of hot. He and his producer left the crew in the other room. They pushed me into my bathroom, they broke two poppers and pushed them under my nose, and proceeded to grope me . . . I did not offer myself up on the altar of Geraldo Rivera. He was unseemly. His behavior was unseemly.”

Midler went on in the interview with Walters:

“I’ll tell you the truth: if I had known 20 years later he was gonna wind up a slimy talk-show host, I never would have even let him in the room. I mean, you have no way of knowing at the time that these things are gonna come back to haunt you.”

Rivera still has yet to respond to Midler's allegations; Vanity Fair has reached out to his representative for comment.
