Current Events > RIP Barbara Walters

(+) Yeah! (+)

Besides the abomination that is The View, RIP to a legend

When Cosby dies, there are gonna be people saying "how dare you call him a rapist, he was Cliff Huxtable!"

There's nothing wrong with criticizing a dead person. They certainly won't care.

Great video clip of Trump getting destroyed. He seriously had to wait until Walters was too old before he could become president, there was a time where she had that kind of influence.

I never saw any American journalist treat him like this. Only the occasional foreign journalist even tried.

You just had to go and ruin the motherfucking topic didn't you?

She just passed and you're already taking the piss out of her. Fuck off with that motherfucking bullshit.

I wasn't aware of the Barbara Walters accusations but if they are indeed true, fair game.

Same thing happened when the Queen died. Was Barbara Walters relevant in the years leading up to her death? If someone pointed this out yesterday, how many people would see it, care, and have it stick with them?

Fact of the matter is, when bad people die, when they die is the precise time to mention their wrongdoings. It is important to not leave a false legacy that perpetuates a vicious cycle. It's how we move forward as a society.

That being said, I would need to do research about Walters. I'm speaking in terms of when the Queen died.

She was NOT a good person in real life. In this interview she did with Corey Feldman where he was trying to expose the pedophilia that was rampant in Hollywood, she was more concerned about the reputation of Hollywood rather than any of the victims. She told Corey that he "was destroying an entire industry". She was evil.

That entire thing looks disgusting. They all have this "I can't believe you're saying this shit, how dare you! Will someone please think of the wealthy Hollywood elite" etc. Fucking gross

RIP. I will say whenever someone mentions her all I can think of is Gilda Radner as Baba Wawa on SNL.

Just watched the interview. Definite yikes, but I'm going to need more than her reaction to vilify her.

RIP Baba Wawa

Oh boy, this topic is kind of heated. Come on guys, calm down. Despite the good and the bad, regardless if you respect or despise what the person did, this topic is supposed to be about remembrance, not bickering over personal opinion.

My favorite Barbara Walters memory is an episode of The View where she got angry at Norm Macdonald because he got tired of her s*** and tried derailing the interview.

That Norm interview was a master class of trolling.

RIP Barbara

RIP

Can't believe she was 93, I would've guessed she wasn't much above 80

Oh damn! I didn't know Don West passed. I was hoping he'd beat the cancer

This was the third.

What beloved white woman died the year before Betty White?

Hmm thought everybody knew that Barbara Walters was that old. A big reminder was people saying that she, MLK, and Anne Frank were all born the same year

Oh shit RIP

Yeah when Cosby passes away, he's really gonna be known for the controversy surrounding him within the past 6-8 years than the shows he created in the past. Cosby Show, Cosby, Fat Albert etc.

I said Pele in post number 10 of this thread.

She lived long life. It's too bad Pele suffered with cancer.

And one of my favorite Trance DJs passed away 2 weeks ago, DJ Shog. Not sure from what. Family won't disclose.

RIP to all of them.
