Geraldo Rivera’s marriages and divorces have been subject to public scrutiny and interest, given his prominent career in media. However, specific details about his ex-wives’ personal lives and their relationships with him remain relatively private.
Rivera has admitted to having a multi-year affair with Marian Javits, wife of New York Senator Jacob Javits, until 1985.
In a 1991 interview with Barbara Walters, actress and singer Bette Midler accused Rivera of groping her. In a 2017 tweet, Midler renewed the accusation. Rivera later tweeted a response, saying he recalled the incident “much differently,” and apologized, “in the very least, publicly embarrassing her all those years ago.”
