Bette Midler and Geraldo Rivera

One day in 1972, journalist Geraldo Rivera arrived at Bette Midler's New York City apartment for an interview. On this point both parties agree. Thereafter, however, their stories diverge slightly:
According to Rivera, they had a fling over the course of which Midler couldn't get enough of the Latin lover.

Midler's story? Their 'fling' consisted of Geraldo drugging and groping her!

Bette Midler, later called him a "slimeball."
