In a surprising revelation, Sherri Shepherd, former co-host of “The View,” disclosed on her show, “Sherri,” that Barbara Walters, the show’s creator, had a romantic involvement with legendary comedian Richard Pryor. Shepherd’s story emerged during a discussion with fellow former co-host Joy Behar.
According to Shepherd, the late comedian Paul Mooney had confided in her that he once walked in on Barbara Walters and Richard Pryor in an intimate encounter. Shepherd was eager to share this intriguing gossip with Behar, but she asked her to keep it discreet.
Despite Shepherd’s request for secrecy, the story eventually came out. The moment they confronted Barbara Walters about her connection with Richard Pryor is described humorously by Shepherd.
Barbara Walters was no stranger to high-profile affairs. In her memoir, she acknowledged an affair with Senator Edward Brooke from Massachusetts during the 1970s. Shepherd and Behar also reminisced about how Barbara enjoyed cozying up to Colin Powell whenever he appeared as a guest on “The View.”
The surprising revelation has left many astounded by Barbara Walters’ adventurous romantic history.
